No More Dreams

Almost everyone dreams every night, even if they do not remember it. Exceptions can be with medical conditions or with prescription medications which suppress REM sleep, which is the stage of sleep during which most vivid dreams occur.

Without knowing specifics in that regard, she could try reading books that help fuel her imagination. Fiction books with vivid scenes, or what interests her in this regard. Reading close to bedtime would be ideal as well.

she is in her late 50's and perhaps it normal at that age.

It has nothing to do with age, elderly people dream just as much as young people and she's not even elderly yet.

It could be from medication as Black Book mentioned, or perhaps the sepsis affected that part of her brain. You would have to talk to a specialist such as a neurobiologist for answers though.

Hello! It could be due to many factors, like actually dreaming but not actually remembering. I tend to forget most of my dreams if it preceeds waking up very abruptly (to loud alarms, hungry cat, immediately thinking about things I need to do that day, etc).

I know there are techniques people use who keep dream journals, like creating a routine and hydrating before bed so one wakes up naturally without an alarm (if alarms are jarring to your psyche), affirming that you will remember your dreams before going to bed. Avoid use of devices or jumping right out of bed immediately upon waking as this could switch your mind over from remembering. Writing down anything and everything you think you saw or felt in your dream (a colour, an emotion, anything to trigger recall) tells your mind that this is important, so you can end up remembering much more over time.

Thanks for your replies. I told her as well she probably just doesn't remember them. I will suggest to her what you've all recommended.
