Bloody Spaghetti,

Normally I have to agree with you, but I am not sure here. Poor dream recall is extremely common. I remember more than most people, so I can tell you exactly happened in my last dream. Lack of REM sleep is associated with a number of health risks and psychological side effects.

The lack of dreams can also be a literary metaphor for many things. Mental illness, depression, lack of religious inspiration, and oppression come to mind.
