    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

    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!

    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.

    Me: I like writing stories. I don’t have nightmares; I have inspirations.

      I have. Biggest issues are priapism, stuffy sinuses and being useless for four hours after waking up. Sleep great though.

      I know You’re joking, but as someone who drank himself to sleep many times, You don’t rest on drunk sleep.

        I sleep like a baby when I’m drunk and wake up refreshed in fewer hours than normal. If I can avoid the hangover it’s great.

        Yes, it was a joke, but every joke is only partly a joke. Next time try a small gulp, not a full bottle. It won’t switch you off, just make you cozier. Unless you’re clinically insomniac it’ll help.

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