Trust me, you DO dream... When subject to sleep deprivation the body reacts by only having REM sleep (=> REM sleep, where 99% of all dreams occur, is essential/really important) and almost every people (except brain damaged/Alzheimer people I guess) dream in REM sleep. Naturally, don't sleep deprive yourself or overdo it... That wont be beneficial at all...

Try waking yourself up while in REM sleep using an alarm clock. That should help the dream recall a lot.
A REM-sleep cycle lasts 90 minutes +- 10-20 minutes, so if you wake yourself up 70 or 80 minutes into a sleep cycle you have good chances of hitting a REM period.

I have a dry spell too. It sucks
