Hi PsillyCyban,
Welcome to our forum. ;)
I don't think that you can not dream but I would rather say that you do not remember your dreams for the moment.
We recommend all new members to post an introduction in the Newbies section telling us a bit about themselves, how they found the cass material, and how much of the work here they have read.
You can have a look through that board to see how others have done it.

Welcome to our forum PsillyCyban, there is one topic, which deals a bit about dreaming too and maybe have a look there:
Are you getting enough sleep? so it could be due hormone imbalances like melatonin for example. There are other tipps also on the forum, or maybe someone else chimes in too.
So far.

PsillyCyban - Consider yourself lucky. I nightmare almost every night. I've been through a couple dozen nuclear wars, the planet ripping apart, tornadoes, trains coming very close to me, my previous job, volcanoes, tsunamis, cities destroyed, people blown away by a blast/fire wave, and no I don't watch action adventure movies or horror movies or dwell on the end of the world stuff.
Lately I've been reading about the EE program and trying to even read "juvenile sci-fi" to get my mind settled down.
Before bed, I watch Frasier, the 70's show which is light comedy or a calm, happy, light movie.
I Stay away from the news and am trying to concentrate on positive stuff to no avail.
I did notice that when my doctor had me on a low dosage of Valium I stopped dreaming magically, but I fear becoming addicted to anything so I've stopped that and am now back to nightmares every single night.
Count yourself lucky....................I wish I didn't dream, it's over rated.
Are you rested when you wake up?
I am, even though I've been to hell and back.

Back when I was into weed or on anti depressants I didn't dream either, only after I stopped these ignorant ways did dreams return and often nightmarish ones. Usually the bad taste dreams have been easy to figure out as 'pieces' of my maladaptedness to my self, but the horendous full technicolour cataclysmic ones have been the ones most inciting and driving me towards harder attempts to seek out the solution.
Basically I think dreams are very important communications from our deeper Selves/ Universe, of course I can't say it is so for everybody or every dream but generally I would suspect it to be a valuable state to visit and reflect what is not seen in 'waking' life.

parallel: I've done marijuana twice in college about 38 years ago.
Don't drink more than 10 oz of red wine here and there (not every night) and was on Valium for three months period.
Don't lie, cheat, steal or treat people mean.
Was orphaned at 9, physically, sexually and mentally abused from the age of 9 to 20.
Ran away from the abusive situation I survived for 11 years.
Met my husband first day in Chicago.
Married 38 years, with 3 sons and 1 grand daughter.
Not meaning to be rude, but you do not know me, nor have any inkling what I have gone through in my life.
Read, "Oliver Twist" that might give you an idea.
My doctor and my son's therapist (years back) said that probably only 5% of adults coming from the life I have lived would have survived mentally and come out as logical and kind based as I am.
I'm a survivor.
Also, I've had many dreams that de ja vu - that have come to pass.
Not saying the planet is going to split apart.................but something big is coming our way.

The Water Bearer - there is absolutely no reason for you to get so defensive and aggressive in your response. Parallel was merely pointing out that your dreams are a reflection of yourself. If you have trouble accepting that, then that's something you might want to look at. Please, if you are going to participate on this forum, leave the hyper-defensiveness at the door. Everyone knows that something big is headed our way, and your dreams are likely you just thinking about that - and nothing more.

Water Bearer, I have a hard time grasping what your response was reacting to. How did my reply provoke a response which reads as if I accused you of something? Just in case: the mention of my ignorant position when using weed and anti-depressants was not meant to imply you were ignorant or doing them, just that they are generally disruptive agents for dreams and other psychic expressions.
We are all survivors here, some more roughed up than others and I'm sorry you had to suffer the abuse you did. But we come here to learn about the issues we gathered from our survived traumas and release them. Many here keep dream journals to understand what our subconscious is telling us which we are not able to grasp in our dissociated/ hypnotized states. We have learnt that dreams can be predictive, they can be planted disinformation, some can be unimportant but many can be quite informative as we get to be comfortable with symbols in relation to the world and ourselves.
As Anart points out; all of us here knows something big is coming, and the clear dreams about it like the ones you are having are harrowing and aren't easily forgotten, and perhaps that is their point. Personally I have come to appreciate bad dreams, not because I'm a masochist but because they are good alarm clocks.
Edit: On second thought; perhaps you thought I critiqued your human ethics by displaying a link between 'dark' dreams and subconsciousness. Sort of what Anart said in maybe you don't believe dreams are reflections of us in some ways. I don't know but hope to find out as your reaction made quite an impression relating back to my moms way of 'going off' where I had difficulty in seeing what actually caused this.
