I don't dream. No nightmares either. I have no problems sleeping and I'm not on drugs so it isn't a health thing - I've been like this all my life.

The only times I've managed to dream are when I nap while already well-rested, but even then I still usually don't. Like I might get 1 or 2 dreams a year in total from when I go back to sleep immediately after waking up, but never from normal sleep.

Anyone else like this?

Other way around, have pretty good recall being a natural lucid dreamer. Near everyone dreams they either don't remember and/or have a form of aphantasia and its not visual but uses other senses (which tbf is extra hard to remember if you're used to a visual heavy world). I dream even on really small amounts of sleep like naps. I figure most people not remembering dreams is a mercy since a majority of my dreams are boring recaps of real life.

Are your recaps lucid? That seems like the opposite of boring to me but I guess I might feel differently if I experienced it every day forever

Generally no, my normal dreams are recaps, sometimes during a recap I'll figure out I'm dreaming and then go off to do whatever I want, starting with a teleport the hell out of there, sometimes I just want to pester dream people representations of my psyche with annoying questions. I generally ld around twice a week with minimal effort, I have a coworker that lds every dream, not really jealous since we're retail and sometimes she struggles with exerting control over the dream so she can get out of dream version of work to go have fun. Nothing like going home, sleeping, then finding yourself at work in your sleep, then having to wake up to go back.
