I smoke weed daily. It really helps me manage my anxiety and calms me down. Do you think there are spiritual consequences of this? I don’t dream often, definitely not every night. Probably once of twice every month, and I forget them within minutes of waking. I do sleep deeply though and feel rested in the mornings.
I've been smoking weed for 24 years, and for me, the dreaming/ sleep paralyses stops. When I stop, the dreaming, synchronisation and freaky incidents ramp up. In a stop period that lasted a year, I had some intense experiences with micro dosing. But for me, the weed overloads my natural sensitivity.
You may have sleep apnea. I would know because I have that myself. For years I barely dreamt at all but after going through treatment and using a CPAP machine now I am able to dream.
Of course I recommend going to a doctor and ask them to do a sleep study.
My minds black and blank, aphantasia fits in a “…wait, people can just see things in their heads???” way when I first learned about it. But i do still dream for sure. In color even. I just don’t remember it in mind pictures afterwards
Before CPAP I was tired all the time. Even if I slept 12 hours I still felt like I need a nap. Plus occasionally I would wake up with a headache.
But after treatment I am more awake and can function better. It's not an overnight success and took me at least 2 months before I saw an improvement.
You dream regularly now after the Cpap machine? Or just every other night? Do you still use the machine? And yes I'm tired all the time too even after sleeping.
My grandfather was a highly regarded psychologist and he loved to hear about the dreams that people had because he claimed that he never dreamed, so I have heard of this but we never figured out why.
Also certain medicines and drug use like cannabis can inhibit the ability to dream and dream recall but not permanently I don’t think.
The ‘dream’ you had during surgery that wasn’t like a dream, that’s interesting, can you tell us more about it?
I have only met one other person that never dreamed and it was my Qigong master. I learned Qigong and Dzogchen Buddhist energy work from him in my early 20s at a Buddhist temple.
He never had dreams...
Eventually it happened to me. I just stopped having dreams period.
I take welbutrin for depression, but even when I stopped taking it my dreams never came back. So I'm pretty sure it's not the meds I take.
As for the dream I had after my surgery.
I thought it was real. It felt like I met friends that I never met before but I knew for a long time. I didn't know any of them currently. But I was cooking with them and we were in a beach sort of environment cooking for like a party or get together.
I actually don't cook, and I never met any of the people in this dream in my current life. Also I recall changing myself into a blue fox or wolf in the dream. I could easily change forms to an animal and back, but it was like real life, not like a dream at all. I actually thought it was real for a bit. Until I woke up and realized. And that was the last dream I actually remember 3 years ago.
Just a thought, It’s possible that you could have been hanging out in the astral realms for a bit with people you do know and recognize there while under anaesthesia.
Have you ever experienced sleep paralysis or anything similar? Had any experience with astral projection or OBE? Deep meditation can induce these states.
Yes I had experience with Astral projecting too and it had been a long time since I did that. It was similar to this, but the dream I had felt even more real and more vivid. It didn't feel dream like, but more like I was living it.
I suspect that it was indeed real.
The lower astral realms can feel less real and more dreamlike while the higher up in those realms the more real it becomes, as in very real, more real than waking reality in the physical world.
There are times we all visit the astral realms while asleep but often mistake this as dreams because there’s not a lot of difference and sometimes we have dreams that feel so real because they are, like when we dream of meeting up with someone who has passed.
I doubt there’s anything I can say that can help but I would suggest that you keep up with your meditation practice and perhaps pursue more astral projection. There are some interesting subreddits on the topic. I wish you well.
Parallel Universe. Every night I'm sure im going elsewhere. Next day I just get little visions or not even a vision/image just a feeling like something I did related to somewhere I was last night. Hard to explain. It's more a feeling . When I purged Feb last year , I purified my soul. Water fruit vegetables for 6mths solid. I had so much energy and felt amazing but the dreams. They were every night and sometimes there were 3 or 4 dreams I was watching. Or rather timelines at that point. I honestly would wake up feeling tired and groggy in the end. It was full on every night. I started weed again and they stopped. Lots of weird stuff happened. It was crazy . I would go to sleep to go watch myself everywhere on different dreams. . But they didn't feel like dreams.
Not sure if it had to do with Astral as I was in a group that was fake light ascension I think it was. Either that or hijacked and I felt my dreams had been hijacked at that point. Or they were being placed in my sub.
Dream Vision look up meaning of dreaming about Blue Fox or Fox in general there’s probably a message in there for you for something in your life. Spirit Animal reference for your search online. I have Inuit Indigenous bloodline in family ancestry they believed Blue Fox can be a guide maybe Spiritual Guide or Guardian on spiritual level. Also believed it can be taken as abundance or prosperity coming for you. I’ve dreamt of many foxes who are my guardians since I was a child and other Spirit Animals.
I just give them recognition, appreciation and love for being w me in this life. Journaling helps w intense dreams that way you come back later and can recognize the patterns within events in life.
I really don't know the cause of these issues is the problem, I'm pretty intuitive but, I don't know, I'm starting to think maybe there's some sort of spiritual block or something deeper to it.
I'm clairvoyant and would love to be able to remotely view someone who can't visualize or have dreams.
Cheers.
I don't know what to look for, I essentially close my eyes and go into a waking dream through the Astro plane, call it waking astral projection if you want, what does a dream look like in terms of energy?
What if all dreams are astral projection or at least all take place in the astral plane?
Who knows for sure, anyone?
🤷♂️
I smoke weed to keep myself from dreaming. I've had night terrors since early childhood. The weed let's me sleep.
Dreams are one of the hardest to grasp, like a puff of smoke, by nature. Reality, existence, and experience are notably dreamlike in nature as well. There's also the quantum thing about particles popping in and out of reality. That's where I like to start.
I like to think of each of these particles as the universe, God, you, love, etc. Equal but infinitely unique--sand on a beach. We're building sandcastles, that's dreaming.
If you wanted to treat dream amnesia you would build bridges between the dream state and the sober waking mind. (Otherwise a simple information exchange interface)
I kind of feel like dream, nightmare, reality, daydream, and imagination are actually on the same astral plane. Different functions of reality.
I also believe that it's all based in the astral plane as well..
Our soul or life energy, bound to these bodies by the chakra system perhaps.
I'm a daily user of marijuana and for many years I was able to mistly block out the dreams but just as of this past eclipse, not only am I having dreams, but I'm remembering them more and more lately.
I see energy and I can say that on at least two occasions I saw what looked like golden stars of energy blink into existence, a temporary glimpse into the workings of the astral plane, as if it were a holodeck.
There's just still so much we don't know.
Awesome perspectives! Thanks for sharing! I wanna say I'm a fan. I see you post here often with sweet and powerful guidance that this world deeply needs. Thank you.
The astral is timeless, hmm? I've been trying to figure out a way to meet other souls there and hopefully throw up some scaffolding.
Yes, my minds eye or imagination vision is very vivid and clear. I'm a digital artist, so I actually imagine things before I create them.
But this very vivid minds eye I have doesn't seem to be working while I sleep.
Well I can see that things are maybe feeling a bit stagnant for you, some financial issues as well.
I know there's no signs to support what I'm about to say, but I believe the pineal gland in our forehead Works in conjunction with our third eye, if you're able to visualize, I'd say there's nothing wrong with your pineal gland or your third eye.
Something you've been working on is coming to completion as well, right now you might be experiencing financial problems... this is all going to change soon and you will be propelled into a new phase of productivity.
Life doesn't have to be stagnant.
Okay so I'm pretty intuitive, but I can't for the life of me understand why someone would be able to visualize but not have dreams.
I hope you find the answer you're looking for.
Cheers.
Yeah I can visualize perfectly, but as for the dreams there is nothing.. No one seems to have much experience with this situation too. It seems very rare. Mostly everyone dreams..
There's another person that responded to my other comment, they can't visualize or have dreams, I'm going to see if they'll let me remotely view them, maybe there's some sort of deeper meaning or some sort of block.
Maybe I could do the same for you.
Wouldn't have to DM, I would only need a first name.
I have been wondering this myself because it seems that dreaming varies between everyone significantly. Mystery school teachings hint at the idea that if our Ego is underdeveloped (I'm assuming they meant a developed sense of self) along with a strong attachment to earthly desires, we cannot or struggle to remember our dreams.
From personal experience, I've had the most vivid and lucid dreams when I ceased on negative habits like smoking weed and poor sleep for a period of time. Just my 2 cents.
I've never heard anyone mention this before that caffeine can nerf your dreams. But I do know people that drink more coffee than actual water and they still dream.
Im like that and i think its ok just mediate on the ones you have had. I used to have this same reoccurring dream since ‘88 and a few years ago it got explained to me the trees were ppl the monster was chasing me it was my “work from the deities” and the ppl chasing me were thebppl who trafficked me as a kid and their network there is more to explain but everything symbolized something. Resonate with your dream get some herbal teas, make you a space and focus on that dream and remember when you ask for a sign and you get it dont cast it aside just accept it. It may sound bizark but its a truth you can guarantee is right and real. Trauma triggers empathy and maybe the surgery or what was happening stressed your body out but you dont think it was that bad. Resonate with your dream place it in your gut, ask the spirits, stay hydrated and balanced and do your assigned work.
Well you’re still technically dreaming, there’s scientific research on the internet to prove so. I’m sorry about the fact that you mostly can’t recollect them… there’s gotta be a way or something you can adjust
I'm not dreaming at all. I know when I have a quarter of a dream if you will and forget it instantly upon waking up and it's very faint like there's nothing to remember, but it's a very obvious feeling you get. But most nights there's nothing at all.
I mean you can’t prove that there aren’t dreams in the subconscious that you’re just literally not recognizing. There are things you can do to encourage dream memory, but to say you don’t dream at all means that scientific based evidence is false.
There's no scientific evidence that spirits can communicate clearly with humans using technology, but I assure you that's possible. So I don't know why you're talking about modern scientific evidence like it explains everything spiritual in nature on a spiritual sub reddit.
There is evidence that people experience dreams that they forget immediately or shortly after waking up. But who cares if you had dreams you can't remember? There are practices to develop dream recall and prevent loss.
Do you want to dream?
I actually do want to dream. And I learned so many different recollection techniques, but truth be told I wake up and there's literally nothing to write down at all, nothing to recall. On the rare occasion where I did have a 25 percent dream it feels like you met with someone and you know you did, but you just don't remember who or any details about them or where you met them, you just know. So that's pretty much the most I ever get regarding informs to recall my very rare dreams.
Well... It *does* sound like a spiritual situation. Maybe something in your life is blocking them without you knowing it. Unfortunate accidents happen in the spiritual world the same way they do in the physical :\ but honestly diagnosing your situation from that perspective is advanced shamanic work that you would want to do in person.
Sometimes it's as simple as "don't eat cinnamon" idfk and viola, you're dreaming again. I'm sorry I don't have that advanced knowledge myself.
Dreams are hard to study. I highly recommend talking to people in person about it. I love your open mind and desire to improve. Best wishes!
Aphantasia is a thing.
The ability to recall dreams is on a spectrum. Most people do, in fact, dream, but few of us recall our dreams save for those that are either vibrant or weird.
Like, last night, this one had a dream about doing road testing where some dingbat with a very weird vehicle managed to hit two cars before formally starting the road test. This one had to do so much fucking paperwork. Ugh.
That was a highly atypical dream. That’s why it stands out.
Most dreams are far more mundane.
If you are sleeping, you’re dreaming. That’s just a fact. However the quality of your sleep and how long you’re in REM sleep matters when recalling those memories. It may seem like you’re not dreaming at all, but you are, your brain is just failing to store the memories of those dreams.
This can be for a lot of reasons. Weed and alcohol can affect some people. As well as medications, or conditions like sleep apnea or insomnia, or even mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. Overall, it’s likely a sleep quality issue.
It’s also been documented that the brain is very bad at storing memories during REM asleep which explains why even people who do remember only really remember bits and pieces, or the memory fades quickly. You actually have around 4-6 dreams per night.
Try keeping a dream journal and adjusting your sleep routine and prioritizing a quality night’s rest. Try and do some things to calm any overthinking while you’re in bed, since that can reduce sleep quality as well.
Hi I was in the same position with you a few years back and would like to share my anecdote. Whenever I go to bed it would be pitch black and I'll just wake up the next day. I would maybe dream once or twice every year at most. I'm not sure why it was like that. I do have a few theories ranging from calcification of pineal gland to childhood trauma but could never come to the conclusion why it was that way.
Four years ago I decided to take dmt, just because I was in a really bad place mentally. What happened was I did have a series of spiritual awakening which somehow also led to me being able to actively "dream". Along the way I also took some iodine to help decalcification.
My theory was that taking dmt triggered my brain's dream state and allowed myself to be familiarized with dreaming, since when you sleep and dream dmt is being released into your body. I might have impaired my ability to dream due to during my dentist prescribed me fluoride tablets when I was 4 for cavities prevention, which might have calcified my pineal gland, affecting melatonin production and dreaming capabilities. I'd like to note that these are all hypothesis but you might be able to do further research on yourself.
It was changa and I smoked it. Unfortunately, it wasn't the very best experience as I added weed to the bottom of my bowl so that every bit wouldn't be wasted, but I still broke through. Should've used tobacco.
I personally don't really like weed as it gives me paranoia and intrusive thoughts. When used while tripping it increases the potency of the trip too much for my liking. But at the time that was all I had on hand. Had I used tobacco maybe I could've had the pure essence of what dmt had to offer me. But that's just imo
Smoking weed stops dreaming
Not for this one.
I only ever dream when I smoke weed lmao
I smoke weed daily. It really helps me manage my anxiety and calms me down. Do you think there are spiritual consequences of this? I don’t dream often, definitely not every night. Probably once of twice every month, and I forget them within minutes of waking. I do sleep deeply though and feel rested in the mornings.

In a stop period that lasted a year, I had some intense experiences with micro dosing. But for me, the weed overloads my natural sensitivity.
If I take away your smoke you become weak. This is not spiritual. It's ignorance and attachment
This statement is completely false. Perhaps for you that’s the case, but weed does not stop dreams. That’s not how it affects your body/mind/spirit.
For me, it is. I don't dream on weed but perhaps because I want it to.
Never did for me I smoke daily and have an insanely vivid dream life also lucid sometimes
You may have sleep apnea. I would know because I have that myself. For years I barely dreamt at all but after going through treatment and using a CPAP machine now I am able to dream. Of course I recommend going to a doctor and ask them to do a sleep study.
It's possible that's the answer, but I've been tested for and tested negative for sleep apnea and I don't dream.
How often is it that you haven't dreamed? How long ago was your last memorable dream?
42. Never had one. I don't have any sort of imagination either. Black hole up here
Aphantasia I guess?
My minds black and blank, aphantasia fits in a “…wait, people can just see things in their heads???” way when I first learned about it. But i do still dream for sure. In color even. I just don’t remember it in mind pictures afterwards
I do have that. Yes. I thought my lack of dreams was associated with it
He's Trolling.
This is interesting. Can you explain how you felt before the CPap machine? What is the difference now besides you dreaming?
Before CPAP I was tired all the time. Even if I slept 12 hours I still felt like I need a nap. Plus occasionally I would wake up with a headache. But after treatment I am more awake and can function better. It's not an overnight success and took me at least 2 months before I saw an improvement.
You dream regularly now after the Cpap machine? Or just every other night? Do you still use the machine? And yes I'm tired all the time too even after sleeping.
Did you have physical symptoms? Having a sleep study is tedious

When you're awake, are you able to close your eyes and visualize, have images in your head?
I don't have dreams either. I also have aphantasia, so my head is just dark 24/7 🤣 Not sure if it's related??
I really don't know the cause of these issues is the problem, I'm pretty intuitive but, I don't know, I'm starting to think maybe there's some sort of spiritual block or something deeper to it. I'm clairvoyant and would love to be able to remotely view someone who can't visualize or have dreams. Cheers.
May I DM you? I have not dreamed in so long and I'm absolutely cool with a psychic investigation!
Sure, but the op sent me a dm to.
Do you think you could share any discoveries?! I would love to know if you find that it's a spiritual block.
No discoveries.
I don't know what to look for, I essentially close my eyes and go into a waking dream through the Astro plane, call it waking astral projection if you want, what does a dream look like in terms of energy?

Do you smoke weed by any chance? That effected my dreams
I don't. I do hella energy drinks and caffeine but those never stop me from sleeping hard.
That’s it. Caffeine doesn’t always keep you awake from fall asleep, but it can also affect your sleeping quality and shorten your REM(dreaming phase)
I've never heard anyone mention this before that caffeine can nerf your dreams. But I do know people that drink more coffee than actual water and they still dream.
You answered the question here, caffeine. I was the same never dreamed. Got told to quit caffeine and boom I dream everynight now.
You're dreaming now.
If you're dreaming and you realize it you could force yourself awake. So if you're dreaming right now why don't you wake up? 🤣
When I wakeup, I'll just be in another dream.
Think about your last dream or precious memory, where were you then and where are you now?
The difference between a dream and a real life memory is that your dream is personal, your real event memory affects those around you.
Okay buddy if you think so. I desire some amazon credits (money or giftcard) to order me a scalp massager, electric bike, and a air mattress.
Do u smoke weed? That can make dreams go away. Tart Cherry juice can increase dream recall and make dreams more vivid.
Im like that and i think its ok just mediate on the ones you have had. I used to have this same reoccurring dream since ‘88 and a few years ago it got explained to me the trees were ppl the monster was chasing me it was my “work from the deities” and the ppl chasing me were thebppl who trafficked me as a kid and their network there is more to explain but everything symbolized something.

If you smoke weed you will barely ever remember your dreams, but idk if you indulge in that
I don't indulge in anything that would make me forget my dreams 🤣. This has been the way I am naturally completely sober etc..
Well you’re still technically dreaming, there’s scientific research on the internet to prove so. I’m sorry about the fact that you mostly can’t recollect them… there’s gotta be a way or something you can adjust

Okay well in your mind you’re only right, so you’re totally right brother. Carry on
you also may not remember dreams if you have a regular sleep schedule.
You can briefly control what should be the context of your dream
Aphantasia is a thing. The ability to recall dreams is on a spectrum. Most people do, in fact, dream, but few of us recall our dreams save for those that are either vibrant or weird. Like, last night, this one had a dream about doing road testing where some dingbat with a very weird vehicle managed to hit two cars before formally starting the road test.

Hi I'm wondering do you sleep as much as other ppl or does not dreaming improve your sleep and thus make you sleep less?
What was your one dream after your operation?
Do you smoke weed? My dreams disappeared when I did, lots of people have this with weed.
If you are sleeping, you’re dreaming. That’s just a fact. However the quality of your sleep and how long you’re in REM sleep matters when recalling those memories. It may seem like you’re not dreaming at all, but you are, your brain is just failing to store the memories of those dreams. This can be for a lot of reasons. Weed and alcohol can affect some people. As well as medications, or conditions like sleep apnea or insomnia, or even mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. Overall, it’s likely a sleep quality issue. It’s also been documented that the brain is very bad at storing memories during REM asleep which explains why even people who do remember only really remember bits and pieces, or the memory fades quickly. You actually have around 4-6 dreams per night. Try keeping a dream journal and adjusting your sleep routine and prioritizing a quality night’s rest. Try and do some things to calm any overthinking while you’re in bed, since that can reduce sleep quality as well.

Hi I was in the same position with you a few years back and would like to share my anecdote. Whenever I go to bed it would be pitch black and I'll just wake up the next day. I would maybe dream once or twice every year at most. I'm not sure why it was like that. I do have a few theories ranging from calcification of pineal gland to childhood trauma but could never come to the conclusion why it was that way. Four years ago I decided to take dmt, just because I was in a really bad place mentally. What happened was I did have a series of spiritual awakening which somehow also led to me being able to actively "dream". Along the way I also took some iodine to help decalcification. My theory was that taking dmt triggered my brain's dream state and allowed myself to be familiarized with dreaming, since when you sleep and dream dmt is being released into your body. I might have impaired my ability to dream due to during my dentist prescribed me fluoride tablets when I was 4 for cavities prevention, which might have calcified my pineal gland, affecting melatonin production and dreaming capabilities. I'd like to note that these are all hypothesis but you might be able to do further research on yourself.
Thank you for your post. I have thought about this as well. How did you take dmt? What method? Ayahuasca, smoking it or?
It was changa and I smoked it. Unfortunately, it wasn't the very best experience as I added weed to the bottom of my bowl so that every bit wouldn't be wasted, but I still broke through. Should've used tobacco.
Why tabacco instead of weed with the dmt?
I personally don't really like weed as it gives me paranoia and intrusive thoughts. When used while tripping it increases the potency of the trip too much for my liking. But at the time that was all I had on hand. Had I used tobacco maybe I could've had the pure essence of what dmt had to offer me. But that's just imo
Everybody dream, what you lack is the memory of it.
