I'm not saying I don't dream perhaps I just don't remember the dreams however for most of my life I have either very few dreams or I don't dream at all is this common?

I agree with Gandalf, this topic is really worth considering.
Have a look in these two topics also:
Dreamwork which originated from this topic here Session 25 April 2010

Thanks for the link, Im doing most of these things already and Ive never had a problem falling asleep. I usually get about 7 hours a night and up to 10 hours on weekends.
As far as recording my dreams Ive done that as well but Ive found even if i try to remember them and try to convince myself to remember them im blank in the morning. My last dream maybe 9 months ago I was being chased by zombies it was a very vivid dream.
Are their other people who either have no dreams or can't remember them?

For the longest time I knew I would dream but would never remember them. Every great once in awhile I would have a dream that I would remember but not often. After doing a lot of reading and researching I started readjusting my diet and my sleep. After about 2 weeks on the ultra diet I started remembering multiple dreams every night, sometimes very vivid. This only happened after I switched my diet and my sleeping patterns. My conclusion is that my diet affects my ability to remember my dreams and I know when my diet still needs to be corrected as I won't dream unless it's during a daytime nap. I would recommend detoxing along with what Gandalf and Legolas have suggested. Just my .02 cents. Hope this helps and don't give up or get frustrated! :)

In addition to Gandalf's thread link, there are two articles on SOTT you might be interested in reading: http://www.sott.net/articles/show/221834-Good-Old-Melatonin-Making-News-Again and http://www.sott.net/articles/show/221835-Evening-light-exposure-dangerous-to-health-new-study.
Do you take melatonin or other sleep supplements?

This is one thing you could try that isn't mentioned on that thread I don't think.
set an alarm, so that you wake up every 90 minutes, starting from when you fall asleep. Most people have a sleep cycle around 90 minutes long. You would want to wake up directly after, or from, the REM period which is when people have their most vivid dreams. In the division I know of, a sleep cycle can be around 90 minutes... and REM is the last stage before it starts over again.
At the same time I don't really recommend waking up to an alarm that much. It could be disrupting to your health. It may be worth a shot if you really are serious on remembering your dreams. I would imagine once you are able to even remember fragments the process could get easier and easier.
This was suggested, but perhaps try this: when you wake up, keep your eyes closed and lay in bed. Try and remember any dreams of the night in this state. Also, like someone suggested "dreamwork" may be good. Before going to bed you remind yourself that you want to remember what you dream about.
