    Might have something to do with me getting more exercise lately but I've been having so many dreams every night and even episodic ones that continue after I go to sleep again.
    Some of them its sad to wake up from.
    I'm much more confident in my dreams If only I was the same IRL.

    How often do you dream/what about and do you think anything brings on dreams e.g. cheese.

    Since starting my reboot, my dreams have become more vivid and more frequent, so I think it has more to do with the abstinence than the exercise (until about a year ago I used to exercise a lot, but dreams were pretty rare then).
    I mostly dream about things I think about during the day, with splashes of other memories in the mix.
     
  3. I dream almost every single night now, and that's mainly due to me doing NoFap and stopping porn usage. Scientists say that's because an addiction shrinks your frontal lobe, makes you lose grey matter, so it affects your ability to dream (or dream very well/vividly), so naturally quitting makes them come back as your brain heals. Which is brilliant because I honestly haven't been able to remember the last time I had a dream before then.

    You always dream. The average person only remembers about 10% of their dreams. Eating protein before bed may help you remember more dreams.

    Last night I had a weird ass dream where my dad and I were in the basement and we found a dead rat. For some reason we had to put it in a sock. Then it made a hole in the sock and stuck it's head out. I panicked and dropped the sock. I jumped onto the couch, and it jumped onto the table and then bit my hand. When it bit my hand I woke up. This is the first time that a dream like that has woken me up in about 10 years. Also at the start of the dream my basement was unfinished, but by the end it was not only finished but completely furnished.

    I usually only dream when I have infrequent sleep. I prefer not to dream at all.

  7. I'm abstaining from weed and PMO so I've been dreaming like crazy. Some were horrific and the rest are really vivid and weird.

    Every fucking day, and with the dreams I have I would rather not to.

    They are all the kind of shit that makes me want to kill myself.
     
  9. Aye, same thing after I quit caffeine as I was severely addicted to that before. It's nice to be able to see my dreams clearly, before NoFap I wasn't remembering or having very vivid dreams which sucked, I love dreams no matter how weird they end up.

    My dreams all ways include long lost friends. Bittersweet.
    Also this time I was skiing on a tarmac road.
     
  11. I agree. They're pretty cool good or bad but sometimes I wake up feeling like I haven't even slept.
