What's with my dreams?

[Esoteric416]

Ok, so I know we all dream every time we sleep (or at least sleep long enough), but ive noticed that when I smoke on a regular basis I very rarely remember my dreams, and when I lay off for a couple weeks or longer I start to remember my dreams pretty frequently.

Does this happen to anyone else and does anyone know why this happens? Is it an effect of THC or is it just my own physiology?
Also does anyone notice an opposite effect when they smoke?

probably remember them ... because they would
be nightmares :jointsmile:

At low doses, marijuana may cause drowsiness, but at higher doses it seems to interfere with sleep. Specifically, it tends to decrease total REM time and also decrease eye movement during REM sleep.

(I love to dream, but I stop remembering them when I get stoned)

I have really strange dreams that are incredibly vivid and usually I wake up due to them....At least now that I had to quit smoking pot altogether

When I smoke marijuana before bed I don't have any dreams. It's lights out until I wake back up, which is what I like.

I've asked my brother and a couple of my relatives if they notice the same thing and they do. Somehow, marijuana limits if not eliminates dreams altogether...Which in my case is a good thing...

Well... it also happens with me... when i smoke is harder for me to remember my dreams, and when i have a break my dreams become easier to remember, and also more vivid... unfortunately whenever i have a break i have nightmares about weed, and theyre very bad... usually i dream someone found my stash and throw it away, or someone discovered i smoke, or shit like that... not good... thats why i dont take breaks anymore... :stoned: (well the actual reason is that if i can smoke every day, why not to? The life is too short to be wasted being sober... :stoned::rastasmoke::jointsmile

man I'm happy.. I usually have night terrors or have complete conversations with family members, and even sometimes try to leave my house... I haven't done that in ages or whenever I visit family in brazil... ( where I can't get weed, or smoke as much as I do here)

Damn. Sounds like for most of you guys this effect is a good thing. It's not necissarily a bad thing for me, but I usually have nice dreams (or interesting in any case), so I'd like to remember them more often.
A friend of mine has been reading some books on lucid dreaming recently and he's planning on sending them to me some time soon so that should be interesting to see if I can induce lucid states even while smoking regularly. I'd have to guess that it wont be easy since I'm not good at inducing lucid dreams anyway.

Well... having lucid dreams is possible even when you smoke... i do it very frequently. Its easier to dream (and thus became lucid) when youre sleeping more than your body needs to... like, if you sleep one or two hours more, after you were ready to awake, you will dream a lot more.
