Discover why you’ve stopped dreaming and what you can do about it

When you wake up in the morning, you expect to remember your dreams. But what happens if you didn't have any dreams—or you just forgot them? We're here to help you find the spiritual meaning behind your dreamless sleep. We'll explain the different interpretations for not dreaming, and we'll give you some tips on how you can start dreaming again. Just keep in mind that dream interpretations are based in belief, not science, so nothing is set in stone.

What You Should Know

  • Your life may be going so well right now that you don't need guidance from your dreams.
  • You may not be ready to receive messages from your dreams right now.
  • You may have some kind of imbalance in your life that’s making it hard to dream.
  • You might be dreaming but you forget them as soon as you wake up.

You’re ignoring your inner messages.

  1. Your dreams may stop if you’re not listening to them. Paying attention to your dreams actually teaches your brain that they’re important to you. But when you ignore their messages, you may notice that you don’t dream as often. Making an effort to recall your dreams may actually help you start dreaming more.[2]
    • When you go to sleep, think about a problem or situation that you need to resolve, and ask your unconscious mind to help you while you’re sleeping.
    • Every morning, reflect on what you experienced in your sleep. If you didn’t dream, remind yourself that next time could be different.
