I'm starting to remember my dreams on days i smoke weed

They say that smoking cannabis causes you to forget your dreams or to dream less. Well I started smoking regularly around September of 2012. The first thing I noticed when I started smoking daily is that while getting high, out of nowhere I would remember my dream from the night before. Something would just trigger it and I would remember part of a dream that I had completely forgotten after waking up. I thought that was pretty cool. That only happened for about a month.

Usually I don't remember dreams on nights I smoke, but recently I have been. I went to sleep about 3 hours after I smoked last night, and I remember one of my dreams pretty well. Could my sensory/short term memory be getting a little better with my prolonged usage? That would be amazing because that's the only negative effect of cannabis for me. That and not always being to articulate my words correctly. It seems like weed makes it harder for me to talk when most people don't have that problem. It makes me jealous and I usually smoke alone. Now I'm not a junkie, if I'm with friends I won't smoke, unless their stoners too. Anyway, what I'm asking is this: Is it normal to still remember dreams pretty vividly on days you smoke? Maybe if I smoked right before I went to sleep I wouldn't remember, but I rarely do this.

Anyway, on nights I smoke, I

    When I used to smoke, I would have nightmares sometimes, vivid dreams sometimes, and not remember my dreams the other times.

    When I don't smoke I don't remember my dreams as often.

    I can't remember if I was smoking heavily on the dream days or not but everyone is different so maybe it's just something that's normal just for you!

    Don't be jealous of other people's articulation skills when you're high either; just enjoy the ride dude

    actually for me i like to relax and use meditation crystals while stoned and i come up with some interesting revelations as well.

    statistics prove there is a correlation between weed and not remembering dreams, I think it's down to the individual, I didn't find a difference personally, in fact sleeping after one of the strongest and longest highs I'd ever had I had the most realistic and vivid dream of my life
