After suffering an AVM (arteriovenous-malformation) and major cerebral bleed and eight hour craniotomy I read at a medical website that some patients with difficult histories like mine, or worse, sometimes do not have dreams while asleep any more. Actually they often do not remember any dreams, some do not have dreams and some have them but do not remember them. Of course, not having any dreams would be a big medical problem to begin with. This is how I remember the problem related to me. Recovering in the hospital, and at first back at home, I did not remember having any dreams and so I began to worry some. Then one night not long I think after returning home I dreamed and in it my wife and I went, by cab,(had no driver's license at first)to a co-worker's home and there was a party and there were computers set up in their family room as a computer class. The co-worker was a lady who gave computer classes, but of course not at home. In the dream her son was there and he graciously drove us home afterwards because as I said I could not yet drive. I was happy that I was finally dreaming again. When I returned to work a few weeks later I again met the co-worker who gave computer classes and one day I told her of my dream and all the details. Now, I didn't know her well and didn't even know if she was married or had any children. She told me after I related the dream that she did have a son and he was about the age that I dreamed he was. I was surprised. It wasn't a dream with a message or anything like that, but I remember it well even after 12 years. I was happy that I was dreaming, and today I seldom remember any whole dreams, but once in a while I remember a tiny part of one and so I know I am still dreaming.
