Sleep goes you one better.

Often enough sleep provides fantastical entertainment content indistinguishable from reality. Every genre, from comedy to horror. Only thing is, you can't choose what content you want to experience. (At least, not to my knowledge you can't pick what content you want?)

I haven't been remembering my dreams for almost a decade now. Is this good, is this bad? Does anyone have a similar experience?

It wouldn't expect it to mean much. You're probably just not waking up during your dreams and staying in bed to ruminate over them. Dreams don't go into recallable memory unless you hold onto them when you're waking.

If it bothers you, you can always try sleeping in new and interesting places/positions every night. That seems to be a common trigger for lucid dreams, sleep paralysis, and other unforgettable dream experiences.

On the plus side the content during sleep is curated based on your personalised tastes, with special preference to what you recently saw...

The recommendations are generated in real-time using an unique algorithm running on the world's fastest neural network.

Also the transition from one program to another is completely seamless, with no credit-scenes and ZERO advertisements.

Mine often gets stuck on the college anxiety channel, which only shows reruns from 30 years ago. I'm glad I'm not paying a monthly fee.

Also most dreams are forgotten once a person wakes up. So that's like a lot of entertainment, and you never tire out of seeing dreams with the same theme.

Look up lucid dreams.
