    I used to be able to remember my dreams, or at the very least I would wake up with a sensation that I had had a dream, but anymore though I just feel like a blank slate, like nothing happened. If I dream anymore I’m completely losing them because I don’t even have the feeling that I’m forgetting anything, it’s just blank when I sleep now.

      If you happen to smoke weed that can do it. I’ve barely dreamt (that I remember) in years

        I’ve always heard that weed smokers have less dreams, but as someone who kinda started doing it more regularly within the last year, I haven’t experienced that? Honestly I think I tend to have more vivid and weird dreams when I’ve smoked before bed. Do some people not get the REM suppression?

          I wouldn’t know, I haven’t looked into it to that degree. Not surprising for different people to experience different side effects. I’ve been an all day every day smoker for well over a decade

        Alcohol does it too. I’ve heard people say that’s what dts are. Your brain dreaming while you’re awake.

          I’m not familiar with dts. What is that?

          I’m a former alcoholic (always an alcoholic but not a sip in over a decade) so that checks out too

            delirium tremens. -sober alcoholic who is a bad speller. I probably should have capitalized it like DTs maybe

              I still wouldn’t have known, so thank you for telling me. I’ll have to look it up. I was extremely lucky and had a clean break from it

        I used to smoke weed, but that was 20 years ago and I hadn’t ever been a big smoker.

        That’s one of my favorite parts of weed, I want to sleep, not have to watch some shitty movie I’m not able to control or interact with.

          Right? I can’t fucking stand it when I do remember a dream now. They are all hyper realistic most of the time, and hard to distinguish from a vague memory

            You hear people talking about the weird and out there dreams they have, where they’re like a humanoid watermelon flying though space to save the universe from an invasion of butter demons, then there’s my dreams, with me, being me, but dumber, weaker and mute.

            That’s a weird way to look at dreams. To me, they’re extra entertainment with stuff that I literally cannot and will not ever experience outside of them, like another day where I dreamed I was in a rock band’s show inside a garage/arcade, but both the band and the music I was “listening” to were wholly made up in my mind

              That’s the problem. Mine are not stuff I can not do. It’s normal fucking shit I have to separate from real life in the morning
