I can't dream.

[loreta]

I have similar "problem" either I don't dream or can't remember anything.
Well I don't know is that a problem or not but since im spending time here it would be best to see what do people here have to say abut it and maybe some had similar experience. I can't remember exact time period but it's abut 2 years that I didn't have a dream at all, before that it was normal. There was no emotional stress to produce that kind behavior or any reason that I might think of to produce that kind of stat. I thought that I might not remember my dreams but 2 years seems a bit long not to remember anything, but who knows. So maybe some of you have more knowledge of the subject and it would really be of great help to have some light on the subject since I didn't by my self get anywhere with the any explanation of why I don't have/can't remember any of it. Thx in advance.

Did you try to read books that talk about dreams? Serious books, I mean. Sometimes when I see that I don´t remember my dreams I start to read about dreams then it helps me to start to remember my dreams. I hope this can help you.

and weed definitively makes you sleep to fast for dreaming

...and makes you sleep even more deeply while supposedly 'awake'. Its use is opposed to any useful work on oneself and is discouraged.

Have you been on any mind altering drugs, prescription or non?

My two cents here: In my experience, smoking herb and not dreaming go hand-in-hand. It was a big part of my life from age 17 or 18 until pretty recently and I was always conflicted about whether or not it was a positive or negative force in my life. Now that I am away from my old "friends" and my hometown, I have come to the conclusion that it has been mostly negative even though it did serve a positive function in that it helped me sleep, reduced stress (big-time), and generally made it easy to get through the days. Still, it left me quite unproductive in certain emotional and spiritual aspects of my life and I think this outweighs any benefits I may have perceived as resulting from its use.

Regarding dreams, I am 95% positive that weed kills my ability to dream or at least to remember them if they occur. I went through several periods self-sought sobriety and studied abroad twice where I didn't have access to it (Didn't want to engage in risky behavior in China anyway). In each of those periods of sobriety, I was dreaming again...and vividly! I have also heard from many other self-proclaimed stoners that they don't dream after they have smoked and that it usually takes some time (a few days to a week) before they notice themselves dreaming again.

So my opinion is, that if you happen to be a regular joker, toker, midnight smoker, then you are probably not dreaming. I think dreams are important and I am much more content in seeing what my subconscious has to show me (even if I don't always understand) rather than getting stoned and staring, zombified, at a TV for hours while eating things that I know I should not be putting into my body. Just my two cents. :D
