There's a difference between not dreaming and not remembering your dreams.
I've heard that you only remember your dreams if you happen to wake in the middle.
If you're not getting enough sleep, or you're not sleeping well, you won't wake up enough to remember any dreams.
Sleep apnea seems to be a big reason for disrupted sleep. You might want to ask a doctor.
This does not happen to me. Commonly, I wake up 2-3 times every night, and I barely remember any dreams.
On the other hand, when I was taking quetiapine, I remembered 1-2 dreams every night (regardless if I was waking up at night or not).
But even when you don't remember your dreams you still remember them being there. Maybe this is just me being stupid but I feel like I dream most nights but I may remember like bits of one or two a week and other nights it's might just be burry colours and a general idea of the mood
