I don't know from personal experience, but infrequent smoking might lead to more vivd dreams.
Chronic use on the other hand has a very strong anecdotal correlation with suppressing vivid dreams/the ability to remember them. It makes sense then that its common for people ceasing chronic cannabis use to have uncomfortably vivd dreams for a while, until their neurochemistry gets back to normal.
I think you hit the nail on the head!
yup we all dream every night. Remembering them on the other hand thats the problem.

Terence McKenna talks about this in the recent Psychedelic Salon podcast on Cannabis. That the thing we normally use to dream is used by Cannabis instead when we are awake. I'm guessing you listened to it?

This is from a 1972 Rolling Stone interview with William S. Burroughs...
Do you think cannabis has any effect on sleep or keeping you awake?
No, the only result that I have noticed from cannabis is that if you smoke a lot of cannabis, you won't dream as much. Now there it's quite obvious that you're doing your dreaming while you're awake, and therefore you don't dream as much while you're asleep. Now if I've been smoking a lot of cannabis and not dreaming, and then I suddenly don't have any cannabis, I'll have very vivid dreams every night.
...for anyone who cares.

It definitely effects my dreams. Sometimes i wont dream at all, but often when i smoke before i go to bed i have the most insane vivid dreams. I read somewhere that dreaming is pretty important for your psychological state. When you dream, your in the rapid eye movement stage of sleeping (R.E.M). Theres also the stage when your completely unconscious. Both of these stages release different chemicals, and its important to spend a certain amount of time in each.
