    I started taking nicotine lozenges to quit smoking. If I have one in my mouth when I fall asleep, my dreams are a lot more fun. I’m not going to tell you how to live your life, but information is power.

      If you are a heavy cannabis user, quitting for a week or two has the same effect until your tolerance goes back down.

        I dunno, I was a wake-and-baker for thirty years and never had dreams at all. I quit completely about three years ago and now I have vivid dreams all the time. I actually don’t like this aspect of sobriety very much - the dreams aren’t nightmares or anything but they’re a lot more intense than I would like them to be.

            Its like having to live two lives

            Ha ha exactly. I’m a school bus driver IRL and I constantly have dreams where I drive my bus into a wall or a line of waiting children and stuff like that. It takes me a few minutes after I wake up some mornings to process that I haven’t actually lost my job (or gone to prison).

      I would be worried about choking in my sleep if I fell asleep with a lozenge in my mouth.
