    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

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

      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
