This always happens to me when quitting. It also happens at the start of a manic episode. I think it has to do with stress. For most of my life I'd have a couple 1-3 week periods in which I had terrifying dreams. All related to stress. When you're coming off weed this is the process as I understand it: you're a chronic smoker->your amygdala increases CB1 density->after 24 hours many of yours receptors vesiculate and can be once again tickled->you have more receptors available to be tickled in a stress related area of the brain->your endogenous cannibinoids are downregulated->it may take many months for them to restore to "normal" levels. This may not be right as I'm currently fucked up, but it's damn close or at least it makes sense hahaha...

Peace,

Sorry to hear that, hope it all goes away and you can get back to normal dreams.

I quit smoking pot a few months ago, and I've found that I actually remember my dreams now.Strangely enough,I can't remember ever having a nightmare,the worst dream situation being ones of social awkwardness before I woke up.I really enjoy having my head back.

I had only been smoking regularly on and off for around 8 years.Stay strong mate!You can get over it :)
 
When i quit weed i get the most craziest dreams aswell for a few weeks, then it kinda dies down and goes back to normal

I quit at the start of the year and it was the 4th night of no weed, and i was having INTENSE dreams, and that night i dreampt that was i was making out with Avril Lavigne, and cause it was so intenese and crazy it felt real!

Woke up thinking "omg did that just happen?"

I was on a high all morning from that =D

Did you check for cold sores? Is April Lavigne supposed to be attractive?

I was a heavy weed smoker for 15+ years and had to quit due to circumstances outside my control. It has been almost 2 years now (with the occasional toke here and there) God I miss it. Anyhow, I never used to remember dreams, IME weed inhibits your ability to remember dreams for the most part. I had weird dreams once quitting, but also experienced periods of insomnia. I have since been put on xanax to aid my sleep and has leveled out the dreaming as well. I never did experience nightmares, but have never had a history of nightmares in the past. Do your remember, were your dreams violent before you started smoking? It will take some time to return to normal brain patterns. Good luck in your travels, and maybe consider talking with your doctor about it.
 
avrail lavigne is a fucking poser beyond belief. Her videos sux major horse cock too. I think MV was trying to communicate the hideousness of this monstrosity that came to him in his sleep & had no other words slightly described or even resembled what he saw so he stated the closest thing planet earth has seen to what he saw.. Avril
 
If i quit smoking weed after regular long term usage, i get some of the most vivid fucked up dreams i've ever had.

Some of them seamed so real that i woke up next morning almost wondering if it was real.
 
awww man i think shes hot

usually when I quit smoking all my dreams seem to be about fucking hot chicks (not bad dreams at all) this may be due to increased sex drive, I dont know I was jsut less horny smoking weed....oh well 3 more weeks til i am off probation
 
2 out of the three dreams i've had in the last few nights have been about "pills" of all things!

Last nights: a mate scores me some pills (which is a replica of actual reality) and also has a bag of 1000 (not real). Whilst he's not looking I pinched a few. I then replaced them with my duds (which are real too) and spent the rest of the dream worrying that he would notice the odd ones. Woke up feeling really guilty. :\
 
In my life expiriences this has been a very common phenomenon. I definitley find heavy marijuana smokers will often have vivid, intense dreams when refraining from smoking; or at least remember them well in any case. A lot of friends have told me they expirience thism, even as little as a day. Or not being "stoned" while sleeping. The less THC the more intense the dream. Not sure about the actual medical reason behind this besides what has already been mentioned.
 
i think i found out the medical reason and how to cure this phenomenon! Melatonin tablets will fix it up since i think its caused by the brain's lack of melatonin when u quit. i tried & it worked for me
 
fuckin i fuckin HATE not having pot cause i get nightmares. fucked shit.
 
Why do you keep droppin' my name like i'm some sort of celebrity?

Anyways I find I have far stranger dreams when under the influence, or at least am able to consciously experience them more clearly.
 
wierd dreams have always been typical for me after quitting weed dont worry
they will slow down over time
 
Oh gawd yeah, after i stopped i had the craziest dreams. They were so vivid aswell, i'd wake up halfway through the night and it'd take me 10 seconds to realise that i wasnt *Insert scenario here* and i was actualy in bed. Sometimes i carried on conversations i was having in them aswell :/

Weeeird, but they've stopped now pretty much, i sleep all through the night now, and i still have strange dreams occasionally, but not often.. I stopped about 3 motnhs ago.. I kinda miss the dreams :(

For some reason, I have this unshakeable feeling that she might not look so great if you were to see her in real life (not that I ever have). I have a conspiracy theory that Avril Lavigne is really just a squirrel with a good bleach job. :D
