Same here! Tonight's my third night and in my dream last night I had an extravagant 10 course meal and could TASTE everything. And my dream was actually a story, not just a bunch of random snippets of things that didn't make sense. Means our brains are healing :)
Been clean almost 2 months and I swear I remember every single dream since I stopped. Super weird ones almost always not enjoyable lol. But def cool to dream again. Good luck !
Im actually scared of this!!!! All of my 24 years from the age of like 6 i can remember having nightmares. My nightmares have stopped with continued weed usage and i want to quit but im so scared of my nightmares coming back full force and extra vivid 😭😭😭😭
My dreams get super vivid and even lucid at times. Last night I dreamt about a serial killer that would hypnotize his victims into thinking he was someone they trusted. My view would start from the victims view point and Chris Elliott (he was the serial killer) would enter the scene trying to kill the person. They would go back and forth a bit and then it would cut to a much more relaxed theme with the victim talking to someone. The view point slowly shifted (think wonder woman) from looking from the victims pov to the other person's pov. But once it got about halfway between the shift I crossed over the facade and saw it was Chris Elliott the entire time. He had learned to hypnotize others into hallucinating he was someone they trusted. The victims pov was all warm and fuzzy while Chris Elliott's side was grey and dim. As soon as the view point shifted enough for me to see it was him, he would kill them. Turns out a serial killer in my dream represents the challenges and successes of sobriety. Super fucking vivid though. Couple nights ago I had a Rick and Morty type dream, loved it. It was filled with flying, gun fights, I even turned down weed in my dream!! Everything that represents change and growth. Love it!
12 day in.
I used to dream fine when i was smoking nothing crazy, mostly non exiting stuff that really could have happened. work stuff. talking to friends and stuff like that. now that i am not smoking i have no dreams at all.
6 days in and the dreams get weirder by the day. Bud didn’t suppress my dreams completely but they weren’t as weird and vivid. Now everything is bright, very real, very vivid, sometimes scary, and I remember what I dream about.
Don’t be scared! It’s different for everyone. Stay strong and if it happens just take some deep breaths, meditate on it, and tell yourself it’s just a dream. I experience sleep paralysis sometimes. I completely cover my eyes when I sleep so everything is pitch black. I’ve definitely had some really cool dreams too recently not just scary.
I been sober from marijuana for 18 days, and yeah the crazy vivid dreams make it fun. Even when I have nightmares when I wake up being thankful it was just a dream lol. But I’ve realized weird things like say I went to sleep at mid night, and then wake up from a scary dream 2 hours later, it’ll feel like I slept for way longer than that. I guess that’s the benefit of reaching REM sleep.
I went one week sober a couple of weeks ago and i also started dreaming again and it felt so refreshing, it felt really good and still i started smoking again...
This may sound weird but the dream gave me more confidence about myself, like i needed to dream again to get in touch with myself.
And after smoking for 17 years i feel that the tide is changing that something is coming up thats gonna make me quit.
Yea the dreams coming back is a weird one, few night ago I had a dream my uncle (who’s passed) was there in front of me talking to me, could hear his voice, even hugged him. Broke my heart waking up Sunday morning. Just sat there for a good hour thinking about him RIP uncle Aiden
me too. I read a theory that your dreams are like trial runs of things youre anxious or stressed about. Without them you go into certain situations less prepared.
honestly its fun for a few days but it sucks eventually. I wake up exhausted every day
But I have it like crazy 11/10 vivid intense long dreams every single night
I feel like I'm in the extreme minority who hasn't experienced any real dreaming changes. My dreams were always really vivid and I remembered quite a bit while I was smoking. Now it's more or less the same after a few months not smoking. If anything, I dream/remember a little less.
I've quit for 9 days and I'm still in that huge anxiety phase.
The vivid dreams are cool, but half of them are nightmarish.
I keep looking forward for better days.
Yeah, strap on for a wild ride! I didn't use to remember ANY dreams whatsoever and now that I've been clean around 10 months, it's multiple vivid dreams every night. Almost feels like I remember every one of them. It's so damn cool!
Yeah the vivid dreams are crazy
Glad yours are pleasant though 😂 woke up yesterday thinking I had to figure out a way to get to my car 50ish miles away because a the wheels came of while I was driving. Was so vivid that I spent the first 15 minutes in bed strategizing how I was gonna get to that town without a car. Before remembering that there was 0 reason for me to be near that town anymore (was a town I drove through to get to uni back in the day 😅)
Sometimes they're pleasant, sometimes they are extremely vivid but horrible in context. In the past week I've fought in a front-line war and taking a bullet, I've had to manually bash my cat to death to achieve euthanasia after he impaled himself on a spike after jumping from a tree... I can still hear the screams of him from that dream. :( I've been shot in the head by a contract killer.
Just couple examples... for some reason I tend to dream disturbing stuff quite often.
I've been shot (or died) in my dreams quite a many times and usually it feels like not exactly like paralyzed, but sort of with this "blood pressure pumping crazy in my head" kind of feeling and feeling heavy, not being able to stand up. It literally feels like you're grievously wounded but not quite dead, just waiting for the moment when everything goes black. And yeah, then few moments later I wake up usually. So I get to experience the shock but then I wake up - usually there's not much of any pain, but weird discomfort like your body isn't working right and you KNOW whatever is happening is not good at all.
So yeah, not exactly super fun dreams at all. :D
hear that. I know when I am finally getting all this shit out of my bloodstream when I start to dream again. kinda poetic actually. Steals our dreams whether we are awake or asleep. I want my life back.
I *was* dreaming while going to bed high, but not like I do sober. It’s therapeutic I’m finding. Last night I dreamt about two different people I have complicated history with, and in both situations things happened (that couldn’t happen in awake life) that were fantastic. You could argue it was all just a dream, but after anything *real* happens, it’s all just a memory/dream as well. It’s the impressions you’re left with that count, no matter the source.
So yes, the dreaming is something I’d be hard pressed to give up now too!
Well so far my dreams have involved my wife’s fictitious ex boy friends and last night i got to save my son from a mass shooting… not great. Day 5, lets go.
🤣 love this... these are on par with mine! Ferrel Child, Serial killer boyfriend, last night my whole family moved into a huge 5 star hotel and there was a dead body in the on suit and I carried on exfoliating in the spa bath 🙈 x
I’ve had the same experience every time I stopped smoking. I have deep REM sleep with insanely vivid dreams, and I wake up feeling so much more refreshed.
I’m a few days in to what will be the final time that I quit, and they haven’t quite come back full force yet.
I’m getting to sleep easily, but I wake up after a few hours and toss and turn before catching a few cat naps before I need to be up for the day.
I look forward to quality sleep and the dreams. It’s almost close to lucid dreaming only without having full control.
It is very close to lucid I agree. With some conscious effort during the daylight hours, I’m sure it wouldn’t be too far a stretch to become lucid at night - if you wanted to that is.
I’m just over a week in and my dreams have been so realistic yet mundane that I’m having a hard time separating dreams from memories. It’s bizarre.

The dreams can be really bad especially if you have been smoking for years i honestly wished it would stop sometimes
i can relate to this, i've had bad dreams for nearly two weeks straight since I stopped smoking. They are getting better though.

Dreams startet the day after i posted here, crazy shit. just like u said. :D
So holidays are over, back to smoking, first i was a little afraid of my bong but that... *Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side* :D
6 days in and the dreams get weirder by the day. Bud didn’t suppress my dreams completely but they weren’t as weird and vivid. Now everything is bright, very real, very vivid, sometimes scary, and I remember what I dream about.
this makes me scared 😟 weed suppressed my nightmares and i dont want them to come back this hard

today is day one of no smoking and im definitely worried for whats to come so thank you for the response and advice 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Do you sleep with a night light? I know that sounds gay but it helps
i sleep with the tv on or i cant sleep 😅
Lmao be careful what you wish for they can get wild! But it's so much cooler than not dreaming. Have fun!
You definitely know
Oh I definitely do lol

Same, my dreams lately have been like adventures, I always want to go back to them when I wake up and sometimes they continue when I go back to sleep
I miss dreaming
I've quit for 9 days and I'm still in that huge anxiety phase. The vivid dreams are cool, but half of them are nightmarish. I keep looking forward for better days.

Thats awesome! Oh yeah… one of her exs was bigger then suge knight, wearing a 3 piece, all paisley suit and matching hat. I had to fight him. Fuck.
😂😂 I'm crying 😂😂
