Does Smoking Weed Stop You Dreaming?

This Might be a silly question but i havnt had a dream in agez untill i went a week without smoking

i told my m8s about this and came to the conclusion its because of smoking weed regulaly

just wandering whats your thoughts

I don't mean to sound like a c**t but...

It's actually a common misconception that some people don't dream. We ALL dream. It's just that we forget about it the minute we wake up because it's just our subconscious.

I only remember REALLY vivid dreams. :stoned:

lol i guess that answers my question

cheers m8:thumbsup:

It's true. Though scientists haven't figured out the reason for dreaming, if you don't dream you die. There was this video I saw a while back about this guy who couldn't physically experience REM sleep, which is where the most vivid dreams occur, and eventually he was hospitalized and died within a few months. I suppose it would seem like we don't dream when we smoke pot because it messes with our memories. I mean it's hard enough just to remember a dream sober but to remember a dream after a night of smoking....well that's just madness!

here is my take:

I had the same exact question and condition. however I took a psychology class and figured it in there

u have REM sleep and Non-rem sleep. most of the remembered dreams occur in Non-rem sleep. REM sleep is mostly where body really relaxes and rapid eye movements occur

i know science has not reached a conclusion on this yet, but my theory is that when u smoke weed, the chemicals in your system either turn your entire sleep into REM (normally 20-25% of sleep time is REM) or u do go through cycles, but the effect on short term memory makes it almost impossible for us to remember any of the dreams, while they have been taking place.

I have quite a different feeling all over my body when i wake up after a smoking before sleep
than sober

and i think whats needed to affect the brain n body in such a way is in the bloodstream and body even without immediate smoking before sleep if the person is a regular smoker, it only takes a tiny amount which can circulate/be stored for a while in the body

just what I think, its merely a hypothesis that must be proven

I have experienced the same phenomenon. I have gone months without dreaming. But It seems to come and go. Yesterday was baking day, needless to say I sampled a few too many and passed out early. yet, I had the craziest dream. Very exotic and specific! which is strange because all my dreams are always mundane. But I chalked it up to my excitement of my harvest coming down tonight. It seems if the dream is powerful enough you'll remember!

speaking of dreaming has anyone of yall "smoked and gotten high" IN your dreams.

Since i massively cut down my smoking, I had a couple of these dreams with a totally clean body... it was just awesome.

was thinking if its possible for a person to actually focus and meditate to have that kind of dream, there really aint no need for smoking anymore, u can smoke n get high purely on your thoughts :D in the dreams!

like just anytime u wanna smoke, sit down and meditate/yoga for a little while, n bam!

i haven't had a memorable dream in a while. I'm an everyday smoker so that could explain it. I've been sober for almost a week now and still no dreams.

About a year ago i would have recurring dreams that i would run into a specific person that i had been avoiding for some time and he seemed to haunt my dreams.

So while i miss my nightly adventures...i'm glad i'm not being haunted anymore.

take it from there...
