Everybody dreams, you just don't remember it.

As you get older, your melatonin levels start to fall. It helps you to stay asleep, not so much fall asleep, and promotes REM(dreams happen during this) sleep. The OTC sleep aids generally contain diphenhydramine(benadryl) which actually suppresses REM sleep, so you are not as rested in the morning, hence the groggy sensation. Ambien is straight up evil and should NEVER be used for more than a week at a time. Had a freakin' black box warning on it until the FDA got paid off, scumbag pig farkers.

If you don't get any REM sleep, you can't dream. As I recall the result of this is you become schizophrenic, or more schizophrenic in Angela's case No way in hell you fall asleep after dropping acid. I had never heard weed kept you from dreaming.

Seriously though, Angela how is your diet when you are sleeping badly? Are you a big coffee drinker, caffeine addict in some form? Do you exercise much, if so is it in the AM or PM?(minor hijack)
