It's one of these theory pastas that just do not work. The content is alright (from a technical stand point), the english is alright, the style is alright.

But you are almost giving a way a feeling of trying to jam down my throat this idea that "not dreaming" is abnormal. Thing is, you usually do not remember your dreams. So, "not dreaming" is the status quo of things. For all we know, dreams are recollection of data we've dealt with throughout the day and that during sleep we don't remember in the long term. Hence why most dreams we remember occur just before waking up. Yes, that also includes waking up in the middle of our sleep schedule (cause we're in built for two sleep cicles rather than one).

So, yeah, maybe if the theme was the collective loss of memory, I'd buy into it, but "not dreaming" being an apocalypse bringer seems a little meh.
