I have smoke cannabis both recreationally and now medicinally and it is 100% fact that this herb will completley stifle our ability to recall dreams and astral projection and soul travel…

Even though I receive physical relief from cannabis, my true goal is to progress spiritually…

I have just purchased mugwort which will no doubt bring to where I need to be…

So you all need to ask yourself, since this has proven to be an absolute truth, just how wonderful is cannabis…I used to think it was a true gift from the Gods but in this case define ” Gift “, it’s more of a curse…

Smoke the stuff if you want but your spiritual growth in this life will be virtually non-existant… And I have NEVER met a spiritual being who would take a drug that will induce negative Karma…

Since I stopped smoking I have had an increase in dreaming. Not to say I never dreamed when I smoked. However, now that I stopped almost every dream has been a nightmare, and they last all night. I’m so tired I don’t know what to do, these nightmares are the worst I’ve ever had and almost every 10 minutes every night I wake up sobbing because of them. I wish I could smoke again, but I have to get a job so I guess I’ll just have to be tired all the time and tormented in my sleep.

I have been smoking weed daily through a water bong for the last 2 years. I stopped three days ago and I have experienced lucid dreaming every night with about 3 dreams a night. At first the dreams were scary and I even woke up another room mate on one of those dreams. But last night the dreams were much less scary and became more positive. Before I quit smoking I can honestly say that I don’t remember any dreams. On the downside, I am waking up more (about 3 times) at night and I wake up much earlier (about 4 to 5 AM). I definitely agree that there is a correlation between quitting weed and lucid dreaming. The question I have now is, will the dreams continue or will I gradually lose them again?

I noticed after about two weeks without smoking I started getting my dreams back, and even dreamed I smoked knowing I was supposed to take a drug test, it scared me when I woke up

I recently quit smoking weed after 15 years of daily smoking. When I smoked I rarely dreamed, but I always slept great and woke up feeling refreshed. Since I quit I feel like I dream all night and wake up feeling tired. I was getting worried but everyone’s comments about thier experiences makes me feel less worried. More like it is just something to get through. Hopefully the all night dreams will stop eventually, if not I just might have to go back to smoking to get a good nights sleep.

First, let me say that I’m an everyday smoker. Anyway, I have been traveling for the past few weeks, and in the process, developed a sinus cold. I decided to stop smoking until I got better (because feeling ill is no fun, especially on the road). Well, It’s been 6 days since my last puff, and I have to say that the only possible withdrawal symptom that I’ve noticed is lucid dreaming. It’s bizarre. None have been terrifying or scary, but they are so vivid, that I can remember even minor details, as if these “experiences” really happened. I wake up several times a night, trying to determine if I have actually been sleeping, or if I’ve just been laying there half-awake, thinking these thoughts. Last night, I spent nearly two hours on a dream about assembling a piece of furniture without instructions. The best way I can describe it is as a puzzle. I would try this bolt and that piece of lumber, but it never seemed right. I woke up frustrated as hell. On the plus side, I nearly had my first nocturnal ejaculation since my teens, when a few hours later, my dreaming led me to a very realistic encounter with a rather frisky girl. Unfortunately, I woke up just before the big “o”. Haha. Anyway, I’m not sure if these dreams are caused by quiting weed, or just what non-smokers experience normally. Maybe, I’ve been smoking regularly for so long, that I forgot what dreaming was actually like:)

I have smoked week every day since 15, so that’s 14 years now, with one break for 3 months 4 years ago.

I smoke pretty much on waking, through the day, and in the evening. It has been a pretty strong mental addiction for me, however, it hasn’t really affected my job or career. I don’t get absolutely walloped on it, just a “tickle” every through hours via spliffs (not a pipe or bong – I think that seems to be more of a north american thing)

Anyway, gave up 2 Jan, mainly because I had a massive coke/MDMA comedown and couldn’t be bothered to leave the house and buy more……and my god, the DREAMS! I have never known anything like this for years. I just had 3 pretty wierd nightmares, and have had them every days since stopping. Pefect recall of all of them, pretty much. It’s rare to remember three separate ones – usually you just remember the last one.

Not sure if this really is “good” sleep as I feel like shit from waking up in a sweat every 2 hours. The other wierd thing is I seem to be having them very early on i.e. almost after falling asleep.

I’m an avid weed smoker, I smoke about 2-3 times a day and don’t really take many days off at all, maybe one every couple of months. I’ve been doing exams and I havent been smoking the last 5 days, My dreams have been unreal. They have felt so incredibally real I actually thought about seeing a doctor. They were affecting the first half of my day in a negative way. I looked it up and saw that when you do stop smoking sometimes you have a flood of crazy dreams.
