Does this mean that, if I were to take a benzo right before sleep, I shouldn't dream?

[–] FundMECFS@piefed.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah you can still dream. It just means your brain is less active than if you didn’t take the benzo. But some benzos and especially benzo-like drugs can actually give you weird hallucination-type dreams. Specifically thinking of Z-drugs.

Well that sucks.

Still trying to find a way not to dream so much.

Ever since I became chronically ill I feel like I dream way more and my dreams are less comfortable…
