Issue with dm message event using messageCreate.

client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
    console.log('Received message:', message); // Log the entire message object

    if (message.channel.type === ChannelType.DM) {
        console.log(`DM from ${message.author.tag}: ${message.content}`);
        try {
            await message.reply("Hello there! 👋");
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Error replying to DM:', error);
        }
    } else if (message.channel.type === ChannelType.GUILD_TEXT) {
        console.log('Received a message in a guild text channel');
    }
    console.log(`Channel type: ${message.channel.type}`);
});

client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
    console.log('Received message:', message); // Log the entire message object

    if (message.channel.type === ChannelType.DM) {
        console.log(`DM from ${message.author.tag}: ${message.content}`);
        try {
            await message.reply("Hello there! 👋");
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Error replying to DM:', error);
        }
    } else if (message.channel.type === ChannelType.GUILD_TEXT) {
        console.log('Received a message in a guild text channel');
    }
    console.log(`Channel type: ${message.channel.type}`);
});

I want to log dms but whenever a dm is sent to my bot i get nothing no console log etc. But it works just fine when a msg is sent in a guild.
