Even in the most recent bear markets of 2000 and 2008, my overall dividend income went up. Yes, I had stocks that cut their dividends and stocks that kept their dividends flat. Example of flat dividends was the banks. However, other stocks increased their dividends. Over all my dividend income went up. For example in 2009 my dividends increased by 14.9% and in 2010 my dividends increased by 5.3% and in 2011 my dividends increased by 9.2%.
The value of my portfolio was a different matter and was quite volatile.
