Is there evidence showing a human will die if they can't dream?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No long term data: I don't believe there have been long term studies on individuals who have had their rem sleep suppressed for a long period of time. The only person i know of who did was michael jackson who went without rem sleep as he was using Propofol for sleep a powerful rem suppressant.
