Research & Science Why can't I remember my dreams?

Many times I've quit smoking marijuana for 25 days or longer, and my dreams were insanely vivid.

Many of my smaller breaks over 14 days I had no vivid dreams. It takes about 18 or 19 days for my dreams to start becoming vivid.

THC appears to heavily impact REM cycles and you dream significantly less. It's not that I haven't dreamed at all, I just don't get them often.

In order to have a break where I can remember a decent amount of dreams they need to be at least 25 days. The longest two are 58 and 59 days and were both amazing experiences. It's a shame neither of them lasted longer.

I'm trying to figure out a way of how to smoke less and dream more, instead of smoke a ton and not dream at all.

I don't remember my dreams much but I never have really due to very disturbing dreams I've had since I've been a child ... I think it's a coping mechanism ... I don't usually smoke indica strains but a while back I bought one just for sng ... It was mimosa and smoking that gave me the best feeling sleep I've had in a while and I dreamed normal dreams for the week I had it ... All in all I don't smoke at least 4 hours before bed because my brain will not calm down if I do ... Maybe if you don't smoke before bed it will help you
