    Not a weed smoker, but I am in mental health. Two things:

    1.) That little factoid is a falsehood. Plenty of marijuana users remember their dreams.

    2.) As indicated at the end of #1, you always dream when you sleep. You just don’t necessarily remember your dreams when you wake up. We don’t know exactly why we dream—there are several theories—but we know it’s an integral part of our sleep. It’s theorized that what we experience as dreams may be our brains encoding our memories of our experiences since the last time we slept into long-term memory and possibly doing a particular type of problem-solving about things weighing heavily on our minds of late.

      Oh my god the arrogance of professionals.

      Just because you know a lot does not mean you know everything. Making statements of the form “X doesn’t happen” is foolish.
