I always felt that a person needs REM(rapid eye movement) during their nightly sleep cycle. Dreams, researchers feel, occur during the REM period of deep sleep. So if a person gets REM sleep periods, they dream-they might not remember the dreams, though.
Unless a person is suffering from some type of sleep deprivation, REM sleep occurs with most people. If one does not have REM sleep, then they are likely sleep deprived or has a sleep disturbance.
There is more than one reason for a person to move their during sleep. I am not a sleep specialist, but the restlessness leg syndrome is a neurological disorder. It is not always associated with sleeping disorders, since there is a range from mild to severe restless leg syndrome.
From most literature I have read, most people who don't dream are actually having an inability to recall the dreams. I have not seen enough information that explains why people don't dream.
It will be interesting what others have to add to this subject.
