Interesting; I’ve always wondered why we dream.

People go insane if you stop them from dreaming. It’s likely something to do with information storage and categorisation.

Is it necessarily the dreaming or the phase of sleep they're being deprived of?

The phase of sleep where you dream is REM. Depriving of one is essentially depriving of both.

i’ve had some nights where i don’t think i dreamt and they were so weird. like one second i’m awake, one second passes, reality is paused, and the next second i’m upright in my bed at whatever time again.

Everyone dreams, you've just usually forgotten by morning. If someone woke you during REM sleep you'd remember. The pot is probably just making you less likely to wake.
