Do you have vivid and graphic dreams?

I used to get super vivid dreams every night. But, I smoke marijuana and for some reason it’s like it turns them off. Or at least, I have zero recollection of my dreams. If for some weird reason, I don’t smoke one day, I usually end up having the vivid dreams again. I used to like them, to be honest. But the relief I get from marijuana during the day outweighs my desire to remember my dreams.

Thank you guys for your responses! I’ve become oddly comfortable with my abnormal dreams (they’ve been happening so long I don’t have a choice tbh) but I will try to speak to a doctor or my therapist about it regardless and dig deeper into them with a sleep study

I have the same generic theme for my night terrors; being chased and harmed/killed, and paranormal. After doing some generic online research I've deducted that my nightmares are caused by unprocessed trauma. It's definitely something you might want to bring up to a therapist if possible, you might be able to move past it. I've also found serotonin supplements to be helpful in having less night terrors. Best of luck to you finding a solution that works for you, and you can reach out if you need to!

I would also like to know more about why I have such vivid dreams about terrible things. I’ve had nightmares since I was a child. Something that helped me not dream is cannabis. My dreams stopped when I started using Mj. Its so nice to actually feel like my brain have slept the whole night with bad dreams. But lately I’ve been letting my dreams flow and I’ve been trying to understand what they mean and I let them play out as if they are a movie.

I think some dreams can have a lot of psychological implications. I’ve talked with my therapist about several of my weird dreams before and what they might mean, and it actually helped. I think other dreams might not mean anything. Pay attention to what you’re taking in through what you watch make sure that’s not what’s causing the dreams. You might want to see a sleep medicine doctor as well and do a sleep study. I just did a sleep study for sleep apnea but they also asked about dreams and nightmares and night terrors etc. I didn’t ask for help with dreams while I was there. I have some weird dreams sometimes but never quite as graphic or scary as yours. I hope that helps.
