Marijuana Withdrawal Dreams

[j_me]

When did everyone start having dreams again after you quit smoking? I think mine started three or four days after I quit and they scared me to death almost. I've noticed that every one of my dreams has included my ex which is not someone I want to be thinking about right now.

I try not to even figure them out as I know they are just dreams, but some of them are so damn real it's ridiculous!

My dreams starting returning about 3-4 days after i quit too. They were pretty freaky at first, a lot of them took place at work but a lot of the layout was different and involved people ive known throughout the years, they always had a strange theme running through them. What Id experienced in that day tended to influence them too. Now 5 wks later they've calmed down a bit but can still be crazy

I think my sleep is a little more back to normal than when I first quit, but no where near where it should be. It will be 2 weeks on Sunday since I've smoked. I'm pretty proud of myself, but damn these dreams.

Funny that what you do during the day influences yours, what I do has no affect what so ever on mine. Mine are super random, my friends are in them and like I mentioned my ex (which I wish to never think of again, but he seems to keep popping himself back into my life) and my fiance is usually always in them too.

****ing dreams....I hate them sometimes lol

I didnt really think about the fact that I didnt dream when I was smoking, but its kinda scary to think that cannabis does take them away. Im glad to have them back though, i guess they're crazy at first coz your brains making up for lost time and will get calmer with time

In all honesty I wish I could go back to not having dreams.....at least not this vivid and not what they have been about.

My dreams were pretty vivid a week or two after I first quit, but after a few weeks they calmed down and now I am back to normal.

I dream about weed, even though I have not smoked in ages. I must still have weed on the brain.

I think dreaming started 1 or 2 days after quitting. I quit on 12-22-08 and it's been hell since then. I love the dreams though because they are so crazy it's like being high or a form of escape but sometimes very scary. My favorite part is waking up and telling someone about how crazy and vivid the dream was. 2 nights ago I smoked pot in my dream and I got really down about it then I woke up and was very very happy that it wasn't real.

As of yesterday the depression/intense Anxiety has started to lift and Now I can't sleep at all. No dreams last night. I'm hoping this only lasts a short while. This whole quitting thing has been tough as hell for me because I smoked 24/7 even with my career. I found it helped me to focus at work but focusing when your dumb doesn't do much good. All it did was get in the way of career and make me quiet at meetings. I'm so glad I don't have to hunt another bag down.

Happy dreaming everyone!!!

I had a dream too where I had a smoke again, it made me feel unbelievably sad and let down by myself. When I woke and realised it was just a dream the relief was immense. Im glad I had the dream because it made me realise how Id feel if I did give into the cravings, wihout having to physically do it, and made me even stronger during the quitting process

Just embrace them, it’s all part of the process of getting clean.
