seeking no dreams...

i dont believe its linked to a certain strain. i also dont think it affects everyone

but it affects a good portion of people and i am one of them!
shit man i dont remember the last dream ive had... not that i need to dream or anything.

i get a good nights rest everynight, no dreams needed


but it is a must up thing isnt it?
especially when i stop smoking... the dreams come back
and sometimes they come back with a vengence.

ive had a few horrible nightmares during tbreaks(not that i had many tbrreaks anyway haha)
like this 1 time i fell asleep on my couch .. and it felt like i was staring at my body from a outside perspective. i got cold and it got scary out of no where. i felt as if though i killed someone and my hands were covered in blood.
i awoke SO freaked out and cold.

the temperature situation also prob linked to lack of cannabis during my tbreak too, as ppl are known to have this problem when tbreaking.

i really dont like the affects of tbreaking after daily smoking =/

 

For me, smoking almost every day for the past year has eliminated a lot of dreams im sure....and on the few nights i didn't smoke this past year i had the craziest dreams!

I don't think it happens to everyone though, but I know a good load of people who don't dream at all. but recently when i've been going to bed high i can remember all of my dreams...weird

 

I'm just curious OP, but why do you not want to dream?

Dreaming is an essential and healthy function of brain activity. I read in a study somewhere last year that infants have lucid dreams for something like 70-80% of each night. Dreaming plays a fundamental role in development.

 

wrong!. dreams are an important part of your sleep cycle, everyone dreams, some people are unable to remember then. If you dont dream, then you dont get a goods nights sleep

 

do you blaze on those nights you have nightmares, and if so, are you taking your effexor the same day? and do you have nightmares on days you take your effexor but dont blaze?

 

it could be your medication, since its an anti-depressant i wouldnt reccomend not taking it, but instead go to your doctor and tell him/her about this. they will know what to do. Maybe try blazing once to see how things are.

 

Same. I get 7 hours of sleep a night and I'm good to go. THC has been shown to reduce the amount of time spent in REM sleep and may eliminate it altogether. Personally, I believe it's because our body needs less REM sleep whilst THC is in the system.

So OP, since every strain contains THC, they should all do the trick when it comes to reducing the amount of time that you spend dreaming each night.

 

Is REM Sleep Necessary – What Does Freud Think? « Quick Steps To Health

i didnt believe what you said about thc reducing time spent in rem sleep, and i found nothing about it online. REM sleep is necesarry to have a good night sleep. the full sleep cycle is 90-110 minutes. and is repeated as many times as you are asleep. if you slept, you dreamt. not everyone remembers their dreams. I personally find blazing makes me not remember my dreams within a minute or two of waking up

Check out this article over at Psychology Today - Marijuana, Sleep and Dreams.
Note this sentence in particular, "No one knows for sure the meaning or function of night time dreams but there is plenty of speculation."

Next, I will refer you to another thread with a good amount of information - Sweet Dreams: Marijuana, Dreams, & REM Sleep.
Here's a small portion of a study that was quoted in the thread, "Despite the research demonstrating THC’s tendency to decrease SWS and REM stage sleep, there is no shortage of individuals who claim that cannabis actually improves human sleep."
Also, consider Buzzby's first comment. Of course there aren't enough studies, if any, to be conclusive, but it'd be very interesting if THC actually reduced the need for REM sleep. I definitely believe it.

Of course I can't speak on your behalf, but I smoke/vaporize multiple times throughout the day and strongly believe that I don't dream. But if I cut back for a day or two, I will dream easy.

 

yooo if everyone dreams and its needed for healthy sleep then are blind people plagued to never have a good rest?

I'm more of the opinion that it affects our memory of dreaming more than the actual dreaming itself. While it has been shown in some research to slightly shorten the duration of REM sleep, I would not be surprised to find out someday after further research that the main effects are linked to the same mechanisms that cause short term memory impairment. It would make perfect sense since dreaming is tied so closely to memory processing from what little we know. So much of this is in the infant stages research wise.

 

I don't know if you were serious or just playing but blind folks still dream. Their dreams would involve their other senses.

 

I go to sleep high every night and I can't remember the last time I had a dream. Not sure if I don't have them or I just don't remember them anymore. Doesn't seem to matter what I smoke every type of weed from mids to high grade will produce the same effect of really deep, dreamless sleep.

I don't mind not having dreams but what I hate is how hard it is for me to get up in the morning after a big sesh the night before and how burntout I am all morning.

 

You're having them. If you were not you'd be dead by now. Yeah, lack of REM sleep can kill you.

You just aren't remembering them.
