Carolyn,

I have no idea why this happens, but I hope you find out. My husband is this way as well. He has not had a dream that he's remembered since he was 14 and dreamed he was in Vietnam. I can hear him talking in his sleep and many times laughing (belly laugh I have no idea how he doesn't wake himself) in his sleep. When he wakes, even to go to the bathroom I'll ask what he was dreaming about. Nothing, no clue. He does not remember.

He also has blocks of his life that he has no recollection of. We've been married for 21 years. I'll talk about something that happened when the kids were little, but he has no recollection. He was in the Navy and we moved around a lot. Of all the people we've met and spend a great deal of time with, he remembers maybe 5 out of 100s.

Big things, little things, no memory. He had a "normal" childhood, no abuse. It continues on, we'll be in the car driving somewhere, we can even be having a conversation and suddenly he'll go "woow" . He has no memory of the last 10 minutes.

He also seems to be unemotional. Granted I'm overly emotional, but it can be scarey! He's a kind and loving husband and father, but unless it's road rage, there's nothing.

If you find any answers I'd really like to know.
