> I wonder what the heck it is about certain psychactive drugs (I think it's ones with significant SSRI properties) that causes us not only to dream, but to dream about macabre, bizarre themes involving loved ones????!!!!!
I believe it has to do with ssri's reducing rem sleep, so that the rem sleep we do have is condensed. We try to get all our dreaming into a shorter period of dreamtime, so the dreams become more intense. At least, that's what I've heard.
