..RANDOM QUESTION...Does coffee stop you from having dreams?

Please someone help me answer this question!
I've been drinking coffee since..i think 5 or 6th grade. ( yeah, I know , unhealthy.)
and i rarely have dreams anymore ( i think i get at least 2 dreams Every few months and they are NEVER long ones.... I must admit i miss them. I love waking up from a distant world of my imagination every morning. ( ESPECIALLY the nightmares)
I drink A LOT of coffee. its what wakes me up every morning, as well as keeps me up throughout the day. Im pretty sure, unfortuatly i have diabetes. since my grandmother died of it and my mom has it now. (does diabetes go through your bloodline?)
i've heard lately that Coffee is the cause of my loss of dreams....
Please as you reply to this...Dont tell me that i must quit.
Because im afraid ive tried and it lasted a week or 2...i guess Sadly, im hooked to the stuff..

My memory is absoultly slacking. i forget a lot of random things. at random times..small details, conversations as well...I seem to forget, does coffee do that to you too? plus i ve heard that coffe stunts your growth. i guess im proof of that. hahahaha i've always been 5 feet since i could remember.

Well, did you know that you actually have a dream every night? It's just a matter of whether you remember it or not. Maybe coffee causes loss of certain memories. I don't know. Have you had trouble remembering certain details lately? And I think diabetes does run in the family, but I'm no docter. I'm not going to tell you to quit, because that would be rude of me. I have a problem myself, but It's with tea. I'm hooked, too. Whenever I'm home sick (and I'm home sick writing this right now) I make a pitcher of tea for my family. I was really sick yesterday, and the worst part was, my parents took my to my favorite restaurant ever that I've been begging for for over two months, and I felt like I was about to die. My dad thought it would make me feel better, and it did feel good to eat something (after only have a fourth of a crunch bar, believe it or not, I wasn't hungry) I would have been mad if I had the energy. Anyway, my point, I couldn't tell you to stop doing something if I'm doing almost the exact same thing. Maybe you could cut back just a little and have more dreams. I'm trying to do the same thing. I hope I helped!

Well, I don't know if it does that to me, because I don't drink it. As I said earlier, I used to, when I was little, but I don't anymore. I don't know why I stopped, but I think it was I started my tea craze.
