Why don't I remember ANY dreams at all?

Please help! I can't remember ANY dreams at all but when I do they're awesome & vivid dreams.. The last one I had was two weeks ago. When I try to remember the dream, nothing comes.. Its like I wasn't even dreaming at all. :(

Please help. I want to remember my dreams more often or at least tell if I was having one.. It kind of worrys me.

Update:

I am 15 years of age. Not 50... I'm assuming my typing style lead you to assume that.

    You can only remember your dreams, actually, when you're woken up during them. If you snore, that means (while you snore) you're not dreaming. You can only dream in the REM stage of sleep. (Rapid Eye Movement). It's natural for older people to remember their dreams less often than a child. After you wake up, it takes an average of about 10 minutes for you to forget your dream. So write it down or something if you plan on remembering it.

    So you are saying you remember you had a dream, but cannot recall the dream when you awaken, is that right? That's not uncommon at all, and nothing to be worried about. Sometimes we just don't remember dreams, especially if we do not wake up while dreaming. Another cause can be waking up suddenly from something like an alarm clock, or someone knocking at the door, etc. Hope this helps!

    I dont remember any dreams either in fact i can't tell you one i have ever had. I remember them for like half the next day than its gone. If you really want to remember them write about it and read it like once a day and it will probabily stay in your head and feel more visual again. I remember i had one like a month ago but have no idea anymore what it even was. It's very common. Heres a webiste i just found about it http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/content/lat...
