I use small quantities of marijuana for sleep. Marijuana works beautifully without side effects and I cannot be happier that I have found this wonderful tool. But, no dreams at all. Is this a known problem with marijuana?

PS On a couple of occasions when I ate too much I had vivid dreams but I do not plan to continue like that - I plan to take tiny doses, just enough to sleep well.

I've found if you use really strong blends you may have difficulty recalling dreams, strains may play a roll as well. Skunk crosses or heavy indica's are thought to have a negative impact on memory. These are the ones that often help with sleep or anxiety, so it's a trade off.

When ever you wake up make a conscious effort to remember what you were dreaming. You should start noticing some dreams you can recall to expand on memory recalling, once you remember a few, they normally start flowing. Also at the end of each day spend several minutes recalling the days events, what you ate, thought, as much detail as you can recall to improve your memory.

All that being said it's still one of my pet peeve's with the cannabis myself. But it's also one of the things that makes it great, the ability to forget. /shrug

Yes, it is marijuana for sure - I skipped it for one day and had dreams.

Yes! Absolutely no doubt whatsoever. Have smoked marijuana most of my entire adult life - except for the odd time-outs I felt I should do - and over the years from trying it for the experience or the buzz when a adolescent to much later in adult life, as a 'medical' purpose, ranging from the 'actual ability to get to sleep' (bit of a night owl by default), to an a absolute wonder drug in a never-fail completely ceasing of any upset tummy - vomiting (usually caused by too much alcohol due to sensitive stomach - this being discovered at adolescence - and not too many people know this I believe!) - BUT the one key thing that kept me smoking it and then returning to smoke it after giving it up - was to alleviate any dreams/nightmares that I've seem to always suffered - as I'd discovered that pot either stopped you dreaming, or made it impossible to recall the dreams, whatever it was I didn't care, it kept my nightmares at bay - BUT - now having given it up to do the righty by my doc (when I was being diagnosed with Adult ADHD) to clean out my system to see what meds would work on me - I have now had about 10mths of out of control nightmares or just unpleasant dreams (or many sex ones, but not often in a good way) - that I've tried at length so many ways to get around this as they were distressing me that much (all the major stuff I suffered as a teen etc I've never dealt with!!) - I started avoiding sleep for no more than 2hrs as I learnt that you need to sleep about 6hrs to get to the deeper dream state - but that has left me with a major sleep disorder now, and the ability to get into that dream state more or less immediately I finally get some sleep - apparently this is not a good thing whatsoever to be able to do this (yes, I've decided to buy a dream interpretation book!! after many read from the library I've found THE ONE - to go with it and not try to fight it as, try as I might, they were always going to haunt me at some stage - these were all repressed and re-occurring themes etc that I now know, NEEDED to be heard and acknowledged, as in a nutshell it's your sub-concious trying to communicate, protect and warn/help your waking concious. Slowly over time my dreams have 'watered' down in their intensity of nightmarish (and no more on a re-occuring theme of the unfortunate life I'd gotten into with a "text book" psychopath I had tried to 'wipe out of my mind' - this one was the worst to face up to of course).

SO..... the reason for my very long rant, I'm so sorry (soo hope it hasn't put you to sleep, haha) - but your subject question has just been so very relative to my latest "self awareness" I'm going through and is currently a biggie for me. My point is I suppose I want to pass on is that YES marijuana blocks out any dream recall, BUT at a price, that you end up paying for later on, because eventually they will come out.... in a big, huge, banked-up, never ending tumbleweed of them - depends of course on your length of repressing them, and/or if you are avoiding to deal with, and never did deal with any psychological pain that's been inflicted upon you.....PHEW!! hope this helps you, or anyone out there that has actually managed to read to the end!! Thank you for the time to if you did

I am now sleeping using Elavil and dream a lot. My dreams are, further, very relevant to my day-by-day life. Very informative.
