Howdy,
Might be that your body is getting rid of all the toxins. Everyone is different and will experience different types of things while your body is repairing itself. OR ---cant think of anything. LOL
jmho and my 2 cents.

Happy vaping and congrats on the 6 days. sounds like you are doing great.

I think what's going on is this: Now that your respiratory system is healing, you are breathing better and therefore sleeping better. That means more restful REM sleep, and more dreams.

Same here, and I couldn't be happier when I wake up in the morning, refreshed and ready to go. I even go to bed a little earlier now just to get a head start on the subconscious goodness of it all.

Hello everyone! New member here. I've had weird dreams too. Going on 22 days without analogs!!! I Vape pretty heavy at night so it sounds like I need a lower stength before bed. I'm using a ego c twist 1000 and kanger t3, love it so far. I have a smoktech sid arriving tomorrow and can't wait. I really like HHV and BWB juices. I'm thinking about trying goodejuice patriot. I love this forum and have learned so much. Thanks everyone for all the awesome info and reviews.

I've experienced that. I don't actually mind it. Last week I had a dream where I met Lisa Kudrow and my wife encouraged me to go have sex with her while my wife went shopping. That may seem a little odd but when you factor in the fact that in the awake world, my wife is against me having sex completely - with her or anyone else, its really bizarre (She's always been that way. She says she drew the short straw in the bet with all other women and married me to keep my genes out of the breeding pool). Naturally, You can understand how excited i was in my dream to have sex with Lisa Kudrow...that is until she decided to go shopping with my wife. and I woke up.

I've been having the strangest dreams and actually remembering them. None of them have had to do with smoking. I was wondering if anyone has had this happen to them.
Now that I think of it:
1. I smoked for 15 years, but I don't remember having any dreams in which I smoked.
2. In the past couple of weeks have been having lots of dreams about vaping and acquiring vaping equipment.

Oh yeah. Disturbances in sleep pattern is a very common side effect of quitting smoking. The changes in your REM states can lead you to "lighter" sleep, where you break out of REM and remember the dreams. Or for some of us it can be flat out fits of insomnia. My sleep habits were all screwed up during my first month of quitting. Mostly insomnia in my case. It won't last though.

Also, this. I am sleeping lighter and less. I look forward to that righting itself. :thumbs:

You know, quitting smoking is different for everyone. Some people in here just seem to fly right through the experience with next to no issues at all. I had hard core quit smoking withdrawal problems. Pretty much the same as with any other quit smoking attempt. Except this time I actually stayed quit. :D

You all probably know by now that this isn't just about the nicotine. Your body and brain chemistry has to get adjusted to not getting all that other crap that you get from smoking. Including MAOI's (antidepressants), reduced amounts of nicotine, ammonia, carbon monoxide and on and on.

The two hardest things for me were the insomnia and my brain being a complete fried out zero attention span mess. The insomnia lasted about a month, the fried brain lasted only two weeks. About 10 days into quitting I lost a credit card. In my own apartment. Ironically, about 20 minutes after placing an order for more e-cig stuff. To this day I never found that credit card. I sat at the computer... I ordered stuff with it... I... not a frickin' clue what happened to it after that. For all I know I put it in a tuna melt and ate it. After two days of searching the apartment for it I gave up, declared it lost, had a conversation with the credit card lady about why I lost it - quitting with e-cigs, referred her to ECF, got a new card.

But honest, for those who have hard core quit smoking symptoms it does pass. And it's worth it.
