As far as I know or remember I do not dream
I want too and I've tried finding out how, but I just don't
The only time when I do dream though they come true
Otherwise it's a big black void of an uncomfortable sleep

[J_9]

Oh, Chaos, but you do dream!!

The mind must dream in order to function while in a conscious state. However, you just don't remember your dreams, which is not at all unusual.

This is the period of deep sleep, REM sleep (rapid eye movement) when dreaming occurs. Everyone goes through stages of REM during their sleep patterns.

Describe the "big black void of uncomfortable sleep", please
I can't process it because a black void of sleep (to me) is just a very deep sleep, and how can that be uncomfortable? Sounds wonderful!

Yes, you do have to dream like J_9 says.

Dreaming can happen in all stages of sleep, although the most vivid and bizarre ones are often in REM sleep.

If you wake up during REM sleep, you are more likely to be able to recall your dream, as you were jolted from it.

Do you sleep for short periods? You might want to try having longer sleeps. As you sleep for longer, the amount of time spent in REM sleep increases, and so your chance of waking in the middle of one increases.

Also.. If you rely on the sun to wake you, you may want to try an alarm clock or person to try and wake you up (although I find if someone wakes you up you're concentrating on how they woke you up or who they are, and not the dream). If you wake from the sun then you will wake in the lightest form of sleep, and you are less likely to have such a vivid dream at that time.

Dreams are very easy to forget unless you spend time after waking up trying to remember them - or if they were particularly horrific.

When you say you dream and the come true, is it that you see an event occur and you are certain that you have dreamed it before? That's called déjà vu and everyone gets it, It's a very strange phenomenon when you're sure you've seen something before (I've had it last for a few minutes of linked events). It's just a bit of a brain hiccough though :)

You dream, you just don't remember

[JoeCanada76]

Every night you sleeep. You dream. Just because you do not remember a lot of your dreams or do not remember any at all. Guess what you did dream. Obvously your body, mind and spirit are set up in a way, that the only time you do dream is when the dream is going to come true. That way you know for sure what will happen.
Now some people with the gift. Dream all the time, but are not able to tell a dream that is supposed to come true to just an ordinary dream. There are others that can tell them apart and do have both. I think there is a reason why you only remember the ones that come true and I think that is more important. Do not worry about not dreaming, or should I say remembering anything.

[CaptainForest]

I agree with J_9 (and whoever else said), that you DO dream.

The fact you are here writing this question means you dream because the human body can not survive without dreaming for an extended period.

[valinors_sorrow]

Seems to me there are quite a few stages of sleep and its possible that you don't sleep properly, thereby spend too little time in one stage and too much in another. This could create a shortage of dreams and this discomfort you mention. But I agree with J_9 that you aren't remembering them. I dream a lot but only since I began sleeping properly after quite a few years of sleeping difficulties. I know I only remember a very small percentage of them because I have vague impressions of quite a few of them in the morning along with the ones I do recall. It takes some effort to train yourself to remember them much like exercising a muscle that has atrophied. You might want to talk to your doctor about not sleeping well, that isn't as harmless as they once thought it was.

You are a little off here, you say you don't dream and then you say
You do. Relax and calm down, have a nice cup of hot tea and straighten out your thinking.
