You're a real bitch.

For many, dreams are inhibited when smoking/vaping right before bed. Many report not dreaming at all, but when they go on a t-break, the dreams come back.........big time, like in a way that your brain is trying to catch up on REM.jeffp said:I've heard that too but I don't know what that means, in terms of "quality" - the sleep is deep and the dreams are vivid - what more could you want from sleep?
The studies, Jeff, concentrated on the measurements of how long and how often one goes into REM when using MJ and not using MJ and they found that those who use MJ have less episodes of REM as well as the REM cycles not lasting as long. And being that dreams happen in REM, one can conclude that one dreams less when using MJ as well as a rebound affect when MJ is no longer used.jeffp said:I guess everybody's different but on the other hand how do you know you dreamed when you thought you dreamed since there's no time frame sequence in dreamland.
In other words the entire dream sequence could have unfolded prior to your waking up and you believe that you dreamed through your sleep but the "story" might have unfolded right before you woke up.
This happens to me for sure. I do dream once in a while at night after smoking about 2 hours before bed... but if I take one night off, I get lots of dreams. The thing is that the dreams become much more vivid. Kind of intriguing..lwien said:For many, dreams are inhibited when smoking/vaping right before bed.

There have been some scientific studies on this. I'll try to dig 'em up.
