Hard to decide where to put this

because it’s not fit for GD or any political forum, and I don’t attribute any mystical implications to my experience. Since two gummies are involved, I decided to expand the topic to include dreaming with a sizable amount of THC in the system.

I’ll go ahead and get the dream out of the way. The orange menace fired RFKjr using the pretext that he was just like all the rest of the Kennedy family, going on to launch a tirade against them all. Remembering the dream later, I was amazed at the ‘clarity’ of the dream while it occurred. I wondered if the two indica gummies were responsible for this semi-lucid dream.

My research shows a general consensus that THC interferes with REM activity, resulting in fewer dreams and fewer memories when dreams did occur. As some know, I used cannabis for a long time from late adolescence onward through my mid-40s, then turning my back on it for over 25 years, returning once again about 3 years ago. During all the earlier years, I don’t recall that THC affected my dreams in any way - whether more or less frequently or more intense or bizarre in nature. Since returning, however, I’ve noticed an increase in frequency of dreams accompanied by ‘lucidity’, which I define as seeming very real in the moment.

I’m interested in hearing from others about dreaming while high.

I took two indica gummies last night to help alleviate pains in my cervica spine and lower back. Sleep was more peaceful as a result.

That’s a lifelong thing. I’ve used cannabis almost everyday for a couple decades and since legalization in Michigan in more forms than just smoking. I’ve grown my own for years…it is equivalent or better than the dispo stuff. I must say that I’ve noticed not much change in nighttime dreams.

Vaporizers (primarily), concentrates (occasionally), and edibles (very occasionally) comprise most of my use now. I like old-school temple ball hash now & then.

8. Before I started smoking every day about 25 years ago, I was a very prolific dreamer.

Now I dream very little. But if I dream around the time I wake up, it's quite vivid and colorful in my mind as I awaken.
