Is it normal to never have nightmares?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to never have nightmares—or to have them so rarely you don’t remember. People’s dreams vary a lot, and there’s no need to have nightmares to be sleeping normally.

Some people rarely have frightening dreams, and others may dream but forget the details by morning. Dream recall varies, so a blank nightmare record doesn’t mean anything is wrong.

Stress, sleep patterns, and other life changes can affect dreams, but you don’t need to do anything about not having nightmares. If you’re sleeping well and feel rested, you can consider yourself lucky.
