I dont remember my dreams when I use. It's the main reason I do. I have terrible nightmares and weed helps me not wake up screaming... But when I stop for a time, it all comes back. It's terrible that I have to choose between being too tired to function and being able to pass a drug test

You could talk to a doctor about prazosin. It's a blood pressure drug that stops dreams for some unknown reason. I have PTSD nightmares and will take it for a week or so when they crop up again. Just something to consider

I appreciate your suggestion. I have some of the same issues as a few other commenters. I have low blood pressure from an autoimmune issue which contraindicates BP drugs. I've tried a lot of things, but I have a sensitive system and the side effects tend to be worse than the dream.
