Does marijuana effect anyones ability to recall dreams?
    #6303695 -

I rather enjoy my dreams (damn I had a good one last night, it had psychadelic octopuses appearing in my tiny fish tank everytime I left the room.. to the point where the whole tank was just vivid, multicolored octopi).. but I find that if I have been smoking marijuana then I totally lose the ability to remember my dreams the next morning. It has been maybe 5 or 6 days since my last toke and I am able to remember 4 of the dreams that I had last night. If I was smoking pot in those 5-6 days I would remember absolutely nothing, even if I attempted to recall them with much effort.

I think I've been getting other signs to stop toking aswell.. :frown:

Anyone else experience anything similar?

Doesn't that bother you?

For me atleast, dreams are something that stand in a league of their own. There is nothing like them and they have the potential for beauty and for the opposite. Not to mention the ability to take a particular dream and make it lucid (I haven't quite gotten this down.. I can only seem to 'influence' the dreams direction, but not actually take part).

Weed encourages my dreams...at least that's what I believe.  I wake up from a weed sleep and sometimes I'll just lay there and wish I could go back into my dream forever.  I've had some of my best and most vivid dreams while high or with THC in my system, and I don't notice any hindrance on my dreams.  :shrug:

My friends accounts are similar to yours. They agree with you that marijuana has no effect on their dreams, and to a certain extent they also would say that it has a positive impact on their sleep. Weird.

Interesting post, I experience this exactly as you describe. When I go to bed stoned I may as well have not dreamed at all. When I go to bed sober I can usually recall my dreams quite vividly. So to answer your question, "yes". :smile:

I also have some sleep disturbances (like waking up in a cold sweat) for a few days after I stop smoking.

When I first started smoking the Mary Jane it seemed I stopped dreaming on days I smoked. I later got into the habit of smoking a tiny bit right before I went to bed. It definitely acted as a sleep aide, but also made me completely dreamless for almost a year... even when I stopped for a week.

Since my first mushroom trip however, smoking before sleep had no effect, then gradually I started dreaming again. My dreams were sporratic, but after my first Salvia trip my dreams have been nightly with a little toke of the Miss Mary Jane.

I always thought it was a fairly common effect. I don't remember many dreams to begin with, but if i've been smoking then i won't remember anything at all. I think it might have something to do with the sleep cycles and getting less REM sleep, but i'm not completely sure about that.

I do notice that if i smoke before i go to sleep i'll usually wake up feeling great the next day, so i can do without the dreams personally.

absolutely.

i never remember my dreams unless i hadnt smoked at all in the last few days.

if you want to remember your dreams, either take a break from smokin buds, or start smoking calea or mugworts before bed

Sometimes I wish I could remeber my dreams. Lucid dreaming sounds intresting to me. I had 1 or 2 short lucid dreams. But, it doesnt really bother me that I dont remeber my dreams.
I can always DAYdream :smile:

Likewise with the trend here, marijuana does tend to reduce my capacity for dream memory.  The fact that smoking the weed also tends to make me sleep longer (or else feel more lethargic in the morning), seems to lend additional credence to the hypothesis that the herbs reduce the amount of REM sleep one experiences.  Here's an excerpt from [a document from the Neurophysiology dep't at UC Berkeley]:
Quote:
At least in humans, marijuana causes drowsiness and increases sleeping time. Therefore, it may be useful in treating insomnia. Sleeping patterns definitely change during marijuana use, but the effects are not completely understood. At low doses, some studies do not find any effect at all (McKim 1991). At higher doses, it may interfere with sleep resulting in insomnia and depression of total REM sleep along with total eye movement activity during REM (Tart et al. 1970). Habitual smokers of marijuana may have difficulty getting to sleep. However, the sleep is not of poor quality, or accompanied by nightmares or frequent wakening. Perhaps marijuana would be most helpful in situations where insomnia is not a regular occurrence, but on infrequent occasions at mild doses. That way drowsiness would be induced without severe disturbance of the sleep schedule.

Ya I agree with geokills, I have seen a few studies done that show that marijuana can reduce overall REM sleep...I also experience this side effect..

Here's an excerpt from PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS by The American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics -


G. Insomnia
THC does not differ from conventional hypnotics in reducing rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (136). THC in doses ranging from 61 to 258 *g/kg produces in normal subjects increments in stage 4 sleep and decrements in REM sleep, but without the characteristic REM rebound which follows chronic treatment with hypnotics. When THC was administered p.o. as a solution in doses of 10, 20, and 30 mg, our subjects fell asleep faster after having mood alterations consistent with a "high." Some degree of "hangover" the day following was noted from larger doses (42). Another sleep laboratory study showed that a dose of 20 mg of THC given p.o. decreased REM sleep. After four to six nights of use, abrupt discontinuation of THC produced mild insomnia but not marked REM rebound (52). REM rebound may not be apparent after low doses of THC. However, very high doses (70 to 210 mg) reduced REM sleep during treatment and were followed by marked REM rebound after withdrawal (48).

The sleep produced by THC does not seem to differ much from that of most currently used hypnotics. Side effects before sleep induction as well as hangover effects make the drug less acceptable than currently popular benzodiazepines. It seems unlikely that THC will supplant existing hypnotics in treatment of insomnia.

I have always dreamed a lot and had a very strong control over my dream, but apparently whenever I take marijuana in a not too medium dose, I can't recall my dream. When I don't take a lot or not, I can simply recall them the normal way. But when I take a lot, they are intense realistic fucked up bad situation or nightmare.

Now that you say this, I can't recall remembering a dream in a long while. I used to be really involved with my dreams too, write everything down when I woke up. I love to dream.
