Yes, and in fact, we all have dozens of dreams each time to enter into REM sleep.Originally Posted by Trillcat
I have to disagree with this. We all dream, that is REM sleep and without it, you can actually go crazy. I don't have the sleep studies at hand to link to, but there are many. It is just that many people do not remember the dreams.
For years I rarely remembered any of my dreams. In fact on the very rare occasion that I did, it was usually a night terror.
A couple years ago I had a sleep study done and it was discovered that I have Chronic Obstructive Sleep Apnea and never entered into REM sleep and therefore didn't dream. When I was put on a CPAP machine during the study I woke up in the morning and told the tech that I had been having hallucinations!!! She told me that I had been dreaming: That I entered into REM sleep and stayed there and had dozens and dozens of dreams! Now I use a CPAP machine at night and I dream every single night. Some dreams stick with me after I wake up, others I remember for a fleeting few seconds upon waking and then they are gone.
But we all dream, provided you enter into REM sleep. If you aren't dreaming, then you should see your doctor and request a sleep study.
