I barely dream when I’m smoking regularly. Then when I stop for a few days the dreams get really vivid

Totally the opposite for me. What's funny is I don't have PTSD but I used to have night terrors fairly regular. Those are all but gone. Guess I get the best of both worlds lol.

I self discovered this years ago. Smoking regularly stopped night terrors I experienced since I was a kid, unfortunate side effect is I don't (seem to) dream at all, but it seems a small price to pay for not waking up drenched in sweat screaming and scrambling for the nearest escape.
