Wasn't sure exactly where to post this but I wanted to get some other smokers opinions, thoughts and info regarding Dreaming. Also I would like to share my experiences as relates to Cannabis and dreaming.
First a little background info.
I am normally a daily toker, for roughly 16 years I've been consuming between a half gram to maybe 3 or 4 grams a day. Lately I would say on avg 1-2g per day. I have mostly switched to using the Volcano vaporizer as opposed to rolling joints. Used to smoke mostly beasters and random local variety's. Now I only smoke my own organic. I would say I have multiple reasons for consuming the MJ. Starting with mental addiction/compulsion.(I hear that young people are susceptible to lifelong compulsions if they start smoking heavily at a young age,which I did. was 15 and hooked) Now as an adult I feel I have had other reasons that reach beyond just my unrelenting compulsion. They include Pain relief, socializing, sleep aid, media enhancement, movies, TV, bike riding. Really what isn't better with buzz eh!! Now on about a dozen occasions that I can recall I have quit consuming Marijuana for a week or two maybe even three. The reasons have been varied. Vacation, sickness, work, etc. You get the idea. The past two weeks I haven't smoked due to the vacation reason. I really didn't want to bring anything with me on three planes to get to my sisters house. I am here for family and visiting, I wouldn't feel right bringing my hobby around my sis and her family anyway.
So back to the post topic Dreaming. Throughout my years of smoking/vaping I have not really dreamed. If I have its not something I ever remember. Everyone of the occasions that I have abstained from toking I start dreaming again. Like clockwork by the third or fourth night away from Marijuana I start having dreams. And not just any dreams they are incredibly vivid and troubling dreams. I awake most of these nights around 4 or 5 am in a daze, it usually takes me a minute or two to realize that I was dreaming and that life is in fact as it should be. Which is usually a relief because the dreams I have mostly all involve something troubling happening to someone I love, am friends with,work with or am acquainted with. Deaths, injury's, law problems, fights, arguments, etc... Maybe one in ten of these dreams is remotely appealing to me. Its a real annoyance to me. I certainly don't like waking up like that. In fact I usually can't wait to start smoking again so the dreams will quit waking me up/bothering me.
Two more days for me and I should be rolling into my home around 4 am on Friday morning. You could bet your house on the fact that I'll be light up like a Christmas tree about 5 mins after I get home. And about 5 mins after that I should be crashed for a good long while.
Soooo CC members I would like to know your experiences with dreaming or the lack there of. Am I alone in my dreamless nights? Do others start having vivid dreams within a few days of abstinence? Is it possible that I do still dream while on the MJ and am just unable to remember?
To be honest I have never really talked to anyone in depth on this subject, and am very curious to hear what others are experiencing or maybe not experiencing. Based on my own experiences It would not surprise me at all if many daily smokers haven't dreamed or haven't been able to remember their dreams for years.
I am sure I could Google this and possibly answer some of my own questions. I did a quick search on these forums and wasn't able to find anything related to dreams. Also now searching keyword "dreaming" and I keep getting an error "The requested URL /modules/Jig/search.php was not found on this server" . So I guess I thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss here with all you fine Cannabis aficionados.
Cheers
