weed and dreams

'Dream it out', it will pass. Probably your unconscious is
processing stuff you weren't aware of while smoking. THC
robs one of one's dreams, guess they're returning in full
force now.

Give it some time.

it'll settle, when i take a break from smoking dreams come
back full force and i tend to have fairly rstless sleep for
a while.

Ruuuckspook is onto something, subconscious is unearthing
worries that lurked just beyond every hit.

What are the dreams about?

this got to me too.

never goes completely, although i have sleep apnea, which
could be causing me to dream more.

yea, it's either unprocessed psychological stuff, or else
simply a sign of your psychological dependency on the drug
so that the mind has no other way of handling stress. But
you'll have to develop other strategies, or just wait it
out.

Any time I take breaks from weed, this happens to me. My
dreams become extremely vivid and usually very violent. It's
one of the reasons I have trouble cutting back. I dread not
being in control of my sleep and when I stop smoking, I lose
that control.

i think it's because your sleep is not as deep as while your
brain is soaked in thc. do you ever have/remember dreams at
all while smoking? i think in the days after stopping
smoking (regularly like evry night) you sleep lighter for a
few days, and you wake up more often, and therefore remember
what you just dreamt, regardless of wether it's a nightmare
or a "normal" dream, if such a dream exists at all.

yeah i got that too. really bad dreams. they go away after a
few weeks though. just try to endure. sometimes if you have
a few drinks before sleeping that can help

I stopped joints because I couldn't dream anymore ! So you
will se they come back pretty quick after that and then it
depends on your state of mind if they're good or bad,
nothing to do with the dope man !

your dreams are gruesome because the world is gruesome. the
most popular strategy is to repress the gruesomeness. the
more difficult but far more rewarding strategy is to
cultivate high indifference, in which you care but do not
reflexively react to or seek out gruesomeness.

while weed does suppress dreaming, you've been doing more
than suppressing your dreams while you've been smoking
everyday. and now you have unpleasant dreams. i suspect
you may be generating the dreams to avoid in your waking
life what you avoided by smoking weed every day. the dreams
are unpleasant, i'm sure, but are more a distraction than a
projection of your true problems (based on your description
of your dreams).

ask yourself why you chose to smoke every day for 3-4 years.
i'm sure you enjoyed yourself mostly. ask yourself why you
stopped smoking. you perceive the present conflict; you may
also resolve this conflict.

my dreams are fucking nasty WITH weed. giving up is bedtime
hell. had dream recently about biting my cat to death. the
crunching was loud and felt very real, but hyper extra real.
i never would actually irl bite someones cat to death...

your dream was about destroying things you love because you
fear that you're not worthy of them. the details heighten
the pain. but you are the cat as well as the biter. you
are the crunching sounds.

your frustration and insecurities manifest as acts of
destruction, by yourself or by others.

what you really want to destroy are your illusions,
obstacles, barricades. call on the destroyer.

then again, maybe i've been smoking too much weed.

Hmmm, I find those vivid dreams interresting and about the
only cool aspect of running out of smoke. I'm there now and
I had a very vivid dream last night about this woman with a
third eye... Anyone have any idea what that dream could
possibly mean? The woman in the dream is my neighbour, which
I don't know. We never speak and only exchange politeness if
it's absolutely unavoidable, if we bump into each other that
is. She appeared in the dream with a third eye, placed
between the other two.

I even like unpleasant dreams, for they are only dreams and
can do me no harm. I'm fascinated by the insights they offer
me. I also find that the longer I sleep the more I remember
from my dreams and the more vivid they become.

woah, your pretty good at this aren't you. a long while ago
now i had a dream similar to ampi's featuring my dearly
loved dog, no biting but pain inflicted and i would never
harm an animal intentionally. your description was befitting

I had a dream that a nuke went off, I woke up under the
kitchen table, fuck knows, thought It was after a night out
on the piss and taking loads of narctoics.

you mentioning waking up in a cold sweat makes me think that
its just withdrawal from the thc i guess. I'm sure if you
just wait a few weeks more it will calm down again. Smoking
weed does crazy stuff to your brain, so coming off it will
take a bit of t ime for it to get back to normal.

nice. how do you explain dreams?..do you use books wich
explain dreams? I started to do that too after a weed break
and learned a lot about myself and my subcunsiousness. I
started studying books from CG Jung (still doing that btw
because he has written a lot) and now i can explain dreams
mostly by myself..I suggest everybody who wants to learn
more about himself and his subconsiousness to start
explaining their dreams. For me the problem is I still love
weed so the journey/ search to myself by explaining my
dreams stops every now and then. But it's a choice i make
twice a month now instead of smoking weed every day. I've
smoked weed for 20 years every day and got the feeling i
missed great parts of my life in relation to my
dreams..dreams are now a big part of my life and i've become
a bigger person because of it.

there are fundamental conflicts in most people, and they
tend to manifest repeatedly and somewhat predictably. egoic
projections, inflations, deflations. if you learn about the
mechanics, desires and fears that fuel dream imagery, you
get more insight into potential meanings.

i haven't really studied analysis of dreams specifically,
and i often find it much more difficult to understand my own
dreams (barring the obvious ones).
