So, I don't dream. When I make that declaration in public, people often tend to respond with "I'm sure you dream. You just don't remember them." No, I just don't dream, and I'm 98% certain of this. When I was younger, I used to dream quite often, and I was always pretty good at remembering my dreams. Yes, certainly details would fade, but I was always able to retain the important "plot elements" though this plot often made little sense if one were to put it to paper. I actually got good enough at retaining dreams that I would occasionally be able to continue the dream the next night. Even now, on the rare occasions that I do dream, I still remember them very clearly. So the idea that I still dream each night but don't remember 96% of them, despite a distinct history of good retention, just doesn't jive with me. It doesn't make sense.

So, this leads to one question: where did my dreams go? I can't pinpoint one particular time when they stopped happening, so it's difficult to link this occurrence to an event that changed things. They just stopped happening as frequently until they just no longer occurred. Odd. I've often wondered about this.
