I think weed is a link to being aware in your dreams.
I was interested in lucid dreaming a little while ago and was interested to see what effects would occur when smoking before going to bed versus going to bed sober. I found that lucid dreaming became very detailed when I was high and also made me think of some very intense things. The next night I didn't smoke and was aware during some of my dreams but they weren't as visually stimulating. When really high, sometimes when I close my eyes I can get CEV's (Closed Eye Visuals). It's like a small hallucination but it seems like just a dream state. Like a non-REM type sleep so I'm curious if maybe when you are high enough, and close your eyes, you tap into the same thing that generates ideas and pictures in dreams. That's my theory. Am I normal or not?
