Dream suppression
Dream suppression can be described as a decrease in the vividness, intensity, frequency, and recollection of a person's dreams. At its lower levels, this can be a partial suppression which results in the person having dreams of a lesser intensity and a lower rate of frequency. However, at its higher levels, this can be a complete suppression which results in the person not experiencing any dreams at all.
Dream suppression is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of cannabis[1] and other cannabinoids. This is due to the way in which they reduce REM sleep,[2][3] the phase of sleep in which the majority of dreams occur.[4]
