When you take a drug to force you to sleep don't be surprised when it lets your subconscious take control. If your conscious was in control you wouldn't be asleep would you? /hj

As a lucid dreamer, challenge accepted. (Becoming lucid neutralizes nightmares.)

Being a regular medical cannabis user, when I occasionally take a break from it the dreams come rushing back in full technicolor.

These vivid dreams are not exactly nightmares, but they aren't the fun kind either. They are usually mundanely weird to anxiety inducing, but the next day anything I remember will feel like snapshots of real memories more than normal dreams.

I had horrific nightmares every night for years.

then I found insomnia!

now when my head hits the pillow my brain is far too exhausted to even properly understand where it is let alone what to dream about.

thanks insomnia!

I take lions mane to help with my brain fog but holy shit does it make my dreams very long and vivid. I kinda hate it.

Sprinkle in a dash of zma (zinc, magnesium) and you can sleep more lightly while you have vivid nightmares.
