i think that's because of all the weed, but i could be wrong
That's absolutely it. I was a chronic waker-and-baker for almost thirty years and never had dreams. I quit four years ago and now I have multiple intense dreams every night. I genuinely don't like it at this point - I spend too much of my first few minutes awake each morning worrying about shit that never actually happened.
i used to be able to lucid dream (beating my sleep paralysis demon the fuck up with a thick bike chain was a special treat) but honestly i didn't sleep restfully back then. been wake and baking for ten years and the occasional dream is neither deep enough to control nor invite the hat man. I'll take it.
