Quit smoking, cant remember dreams

Hi.

Six days ago, I quit smoking. Since then I cant seem to remember my dreams anymore! Ive had no problems remembering 3-4 dreams each night, but now i can only remember small fragments of the dreams that are close to when i wake up. For now, i will just wait and see if this persists, but if this keeps up im not sure on what to do. do i have to start working on dream recall??? sounds strange that it can just shift over night. anyone with experience on this topic?

Im sorry I don’t have any experience or advice.

I did want to say, Congratulates on quiting! You’re doing great. You’ve got the hardest part behind you, that first week…

Don’t give up. I doubt the lack of recall will continue for long.

You’re doing what a lot of people only wish they could do.

Well, i’m no doctor but it’s probably the lack of nicotine your body is asking for. When you smoke you inhale a drug called nicotine (known to be one of the most addictive drug), and a ton of other unhealthy chemicals. Anyways, when you get stressed your body lowers the nicotine levels. You crave nicotine, because like I said the body asks for it. The nicotine relaxes you, And when you sleep you must be relaxed body and mind, right? This may be the cause of not having any dreams that you can recall, because of all the stress. Once you fully become successful to quit, meaning not craving it, or wanting it. You will eventually be able to start remembering, Just have a strong will to stop. The nicotine will eventually leave your body, the longer you haved smoked the longer it takes for the nicotine to leave. Just be patient, if you still can’t remember dreams you should probably see a REAL doctor about it. Oh, and good idea about practicing dream recall keep practicing it you may not remember it now, but it will be a boost in the future after quitting. That’s if my theory is correct. Good luck :happy:

That’s very weird…
I started a bach flower remedy and since I almost don’t dream anymore either… :eek:
Strange thing is, the bach flowers work very positive but my dream recall… goes all the way down! :neutral:
