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

        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?

        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

            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

            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.

        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
