   I'd put myself under the 'reformed former addict' category.  One of the

   Sleep deprivation helped me get a lot of dreams, back when I did it alot.  I   
   also second the point about B-vitamins.  Very very useful things,   
   B-vitamins.  Sunlight, too.

   I find that I don't remember dreams well if I've been scared and anxious   
   during the day.

   Enjoy?  Probably not.  Although I have deliberately made them happen.  My   
   attitude to this is "It's going to happen sooner or later, may as well be   
   sooner, and be done with it."

   Mine don't, but I'm pretty sure you're talking about a common phenomenon.
