Thread: Does marijuana significantly effect dream recall?

i had good recall after smoking the same night. i have even become lucid after having smoked 2 days prier.

From my personal experience, I have almost zero dream recall when I smoke. I don't think this is so much to do with short term memory, but more due to sleep quality. As I understand it, the massive dopamine release will prevent you from properly entering REM - this is why it's common to wake up after a heavy smoke still feeling tired, even if you slept for 10 hours. However, the other day I had a heavy smoking session and whilst I didn't remember dreams for the most part, I did remember some from the morning part of my sleep. Overall though, if you're interested in pursuing lucid dreams, I would not smoke regularly. I've not smoked in a few days and already I have much stronger dream recall.
