Marijuana is a PsychoActive herb with very complex and versatile effects, also depending on what kind of Marijuana is smoked. In general it is Classifyable as:
  • Depressant: as in it calms your Mind, gives feelings of extreme Relaxation & well-being and sometimes makes you somewhat Tired
  • Psychedelic: as it greatly potentiates Fantasy and Creativity, Can alter Awareness greatly and Perception Somewhat, Strengthen Emotions, gives insights from other perspectives, Can actually lead to MINOR hallucinations and False Perceptions ( usually very universally understanding and peacefull insights )
  • Stimulant: As some kinds of weed make you HyperActive and very enthusiastic and jumpy-happy.

Now since Weed MAINLY is a Euphoric Downer (Depressant) it is know to Supress REM-Sleep and plunge you into a deeper, somewhat more coma-like, sleep than usual. Now for those of us who Regulairly smoke pot ( As in: At least smoking Pot twice a week ) I wanted to do an Experiment. It goes a little something like This:

I want to know how Smoking Pot AND Suddenly Stopping Smoking Pot Influences our Dreams, DreamRecall, Dream Vividness and Lucidity. I've heard it beeing speculated that when a Pot Smoker suddenly STOPS smoking weed, his or her REM-Sleep will suddenly REBOUND a great deal, which would result in much more Vivid Dreams I assume.

Well I want to find out and here's how:

FIRST OFF: You gotta be a Regulair pot Smoker that smokes Weed pretty Frequently!

I want to know:
+ Does Suddenly COMPLETELY Stopping Smoking Marijuana Increase your DreamVividness ?
+ Does NOT smoking Marijuana at least 4 hours Before going to Sleep Increase your DreamVividness?
+ Does Suddenly COMPLETELY Stopping Smoking Marijuana Increase your DreamRecall ?
+ Does NOT smoking Marijuana at least 4 hours Before going to Sleep Increase your DreamRecall?
+ Does Suddenly COMPLETELY Stopping Smoking Marijuana Increase your Lucidity ?
+ Does NOT smoking Marijuana at least 4 hours Before going to Sleep Increase your Lucidity?

Bla di Bla...here comes the Experiment part...
Lucid Potsmokers who are interrested in this experiment, Copy&Paste this ( All that is written in Blue ) and enter it's answers and Results so it applies to you:

To Participate in the REM-Rebound Experiment You have to Choose one of the 2 Methods:
1. Stop Smoking Pot COMPLETELY for an undefined period of time
2. Stop Smoking Pot 4 or more Hours prior to going to sleep for an undefined period of time.

Enter the Following first:
Age:
Sex:
Your usual Dream Recall: ( DR0 = No Recall at all | DR10 = SUPERB Detailed Recall )
Your Dream's usual Level of Vividness: ( DV0 = Not Vivid at all | DV10 = VERY very Vivid )
Usual frequency of Lucid Dreams: ( L0 = No Lucid Dreams at all | L10 = A Lucid Dream 5 or more times a week)



Enter the Results like THIS :
-Method used: (1 or 2)
-Your Dream Recall after the Experiment: ( DR0 = No Recall at all | DR10 = SUPERB Detailed Recall )
-Your Dream's Level of Vividness after the Experiment: ( DV0 = Not Vivid at all | DV10 = VERY very Vivid )
-Frequency of Lucid Dreams after the Experiment: ( L0 = No Lucid Dreams at all | L10 = A Lucid Dream 5 or more times a week)

I want to compare the DreamVividness, Recall and Lucidity to that of dreams before this experiment to see if it increases/decreases any of these before mentioned things.

If it is true that the REM-sleep Rebounds after quiting smoking pot, or smoking less pot...then a potSmoker would have an edge, because he or she can decide to Suddenly Increase Dream Vividness whenever he or she stops smoking it for a while:

Expect ANY possible results to come after several weeks.



Age: 20
Sex: Male
