Nightmares!!!

[Plettschner]

Picked up some zero nic juice yesterday. I found that lately, while putzing around on the computer before going to bed, I was vaping like a madman... and it was causing me to have crazy nightmares. Restricted myself to the zero nic juice before bed last night and slept much better. One time a while back, I had quit smoking with the patch and fell asleep one night with it on... yikes! I still vividly remember the nightmares... didn't do that again. Nicotine and my sleeping do not mix well!

For the first few months I had really vivid dream including what some would call nightmares. That effect, sadly, faded away over time. I say sadly because I actually enjoyed the vivid dreams, even the ones most would consider nightmares. I have the ability to tell myself it is a dream even in the scariest dreams and with that knowledge I enjoy them just like I enjoy horror movies.

For me this was the only good thing I got from the patch. I figured out I could shape my dreams buy leaving the TV on. This lead to some interesting dreams. I never got this effect from vaping unfortunately.

i thought i was the only other sick person like this. i say sick as watching horror films ( my favorite genre) i tend to laugh and get pumped up at times. Like in Contagion when the body just fell from the upper story of the stairwell to hit the floor. i was laughing so hard and the wife looks at me with the 'i married you face' and says "you're a sick f&*^!" ah good times.

I had some crazy vivid dreams when I was on Chantix - in that case it was from nicotine withdrawal.

I remember taking Chantix and having those "vivid" dreams, I really liked them as well lmao...I've heard many people say that they liked those dreams though lol.

 

[AngelsBreath]

Jinx candimccann lmao, but you did post first, I will give you that! lol

Call me crazy but I actually like nightmares. Then again I am an avid horror fan.

I'm the opposite. Nicotine helps me sleep. (Although cigarettes caused me to wake up through the night to smoke.)
I haven't had a problem with lucid dreaming.

(ETA) And when I was on Wellbutrin I definitely didn't have a problem with dreaming because I simply couldn't sleep. Waking hallucinations after not sleeping is a different story. (/edit)

I only have nightmares if I take too much melatonin. I have to sometimes though when I can't sleep. I'll trade a nightmare for hardly any sleep any day.

Chantix made le go berzerk. Seriously. Scary stuff! My friends had to have a little intervention! lol

And chantix is still FDA approved. There's your sign.

You guys are cracking me up... I hate nightmares... don't even like dreaming.

I like the vivid dreams as well, and yes, I think most would call them nightmares. I had them with chantix, which was the only reason I liked chantix - for me it was the chantix causing the dreams, not nic withdrawal, because I was on chantix for 6 months and had them the whole time. Now I have them with vaping, but they're not quite as intense.

it's been almost two months of vaping exclusively, and have been having extremely vivid dreams and nightmares since. i just mentioned the vivid dreams/nightmares to my g/f yesterday, so i find this thread very timely and interesting...

It's not timely, it's just one of your vivid dreams. Now wake up or you'll be late for work.

Chantix did not ever make me have those vivid dreams, at least not that I can remember, but I did scratch my skin off like I was on crack and I hallucinated, thinking I saw a dog, when I didn't. I cannot believe that drug is legal.

And no, I do not do ANY other recreational drugs.

 

[Ahoy]

I've never really heard of vaping giving anyone nightmares, I suppose everyone is different though.

I had a reallllly vivid dream last night of just my daily life, but everything was going great! it was awesome..even when I woke up to go to them bathroom..i fell back asleep and right into another vivid dreams..i did that about 3 times before I totally woke up. Was the first time in a while I woke up after 9 lol!

 

[TroyDestroy]

for you all that like the vivid dreams... try taking vitamin b12.

 

[Plettschner]

Paxil made me not dream... I liked that.
