I can relate. When I was smoking regularly I stopped dreaming altogether (or stopped remembering them), layed it off for a week and suddenly I get lucid dreams every other night.

Yep thats exactly my thought process. Science on drugs is often rare and not thorough enough to make definite conclusions but it's fair to say that whatever impairs REM sleep must impair memory and possibly other systems as well.

That would be a sensible non-strawman argument

A straw man argument aims to misrepresent and ridicule the opponents positions. Such as:
- "I think the climate crisis is dangerous, we should build more renewables"
Strawman argument: - "what you want to deforest the landscape and destroy natural habitat to build windmills??"

Nightmares are bad, I'm glad I'm mostly spared, and I don't really know what to say else, maybe apologize to your girl.
