Many people on the path to quitting marijuana experience strange and vivid dreams. Some say that they are very strange and meaningless and others describe them as nightmares, but the common element that many of those who experience such dreams shortly after quitting smoking marijuana is the clarity and vividness of such dreams that has already surprised them. often scared.
I was thinking about this and wondering if it has to do with marijuana and its effect on memory. Many studies have shown that excessive marijuana use can lead to short-term memory loss and, over a longer period, long-term memory loss, as well as distractibility and a general lack of clarity .
How this relates to memory is that I was reading about how they believe dreams are a way for the mind to sort through its memories when asleep, leading to better cognitive functions and better memory clarity.
It seems to me that the chemical processes in your body and mind that occur when you smoke marijuana inhibit memory function and often problem-solving skills as well. When we stop smoking marijuana and the body begins to cleanse the THC and other impurities, our brain begins to improve its memory and function again, leading to vivid dreams as the mind works frantically to repair the damage that marijuana has caused and maybe they will. it may seem much more real and clear because it has been a long time since a former addict had such dreams.
On the other hand, many people believe in the symbolism of dreams and how they have meaning if you can interpret them, and since marijuana is primarily a psychological addiction, there must be a lot of repressed emotions and issues waiting to surface when an addict to marijuana cleanses itself of the drug and itself.
Perhaps it’s a mix of both, with marijuana addiction inhibiting memory and brain function and reasons for being addicted inhibiting people from exploring the psychological issues they face? In any case, I think taking those shots shouldn’t be something to be scared or afraid of, but something to embrace when quitting weed, as it’s obviously a sign that something is changing and if you’re committed you know that quitting weed is a change for the better and your dreams too!
