I think I have had long periods when I didn't remember any dreams at all, but I've had the same types of periods before medications. I've also had some short periods when I did remember dreams. Some were bizarre, some disconcerting, and some nice. Ditto before medications. I'm not really sure, though, if it was medications doing that or my moods themselves. I guess a combination of both. I know that some medications certainly knocked me out more.

I much prefer when I don't remember dreams. I'd sacrifice all positive night dreams for not remembering dreams. When I don't remember them, I'm usually much more refreshed feeling in the mornings.

At times I can have a very active daydreaming life. I find daydreams much more satisfying. I'll admit that I've had a period of maladaptive daydreaming. That was a coping mechanism. I'm glad, none-the-less, that I got past the maladaptive daydreaming. I still daydream, but it's a healthy kind, usually, unless I'm experiencing agitation and/or irritability.
