I don’t think this qualifies as a belief; it’s just something I have noticed.
My dreams are always a collection of images (assembled into a narrative, naturally) of things I thought about precisely once the prior day. Anything I did not think about, or thought about more than a single time, is not included. I like to use this to my advantage to avoid nightmares, but I have also never had a sex dream. The fact that other people seem to have sex dreams is good evidence that my experience is rare or unique, but I have no explanation for it.
I used to have really interesting nightmares too. Unfortunately, nightmares need a charge of fear to sustain them, and I haven’t really been afraid of anything in the last few years, so no more nightmares. My dreams have been a lot more disorganized and less memorable since.
