CBD and dreaming – more and more people are turning to CBD products to help them sleep better or find inner peace. But how does cannabidiol affect our dreams? Does it promote lucid, vivid dreams – or does sleep suddenly remain dreamless? And what does research know about this?
We at Herba di Berna get to the bottom of these questions and show how CBD can influence dreaming, what studies suggest and what legal framework conditions apply in Switzerland – in a factual, understandable and well-founded manner.
CBD and dreaming – What is it and how does it work during sleep?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural component of the hemp plant and is sold legally in Switzerland as an ingredient in cosmetics, food supplements or oils with <1% THC. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive – so it does not “get you high”.
CBD interacts with the body’s own endocannabinoid system, which influences the sleep-wake rhythm, mood and perception of pain, among other things. This is why many people report calming effects, especially before falling asleep or an improvement in sleep-through behavior.
CBD and dreaming – what does science say?
Research into the connection between CBD and dreams is still in its infancy. Nevertheless, there are indications:
- REM sleep is the phase in which dreams are particularly intense. CBD appears to alter this part of sleep in some people – either shortening or stabilizing it.
- Some studies suggest that CBD promotes deep sleep, while the dream phases (REM) are experienced less intensively.
- At the same time, individual users report more intense or even lucid dreams, which indicates an individually varying effect.
⚠️ Important: The effect on the dream experience is not the same for everyone – it depends on the dose, time of day, type of product and personal disposition.
Experiences: How does CBD affect dreams?
Many statements about CBD and dreams can be found in online forums, study surveys and field reports:
- Some people report dreamless nights with a deeper feeling of sleep
- Others experience particularly vivid or lucid dreams
- Others say that they can dream again since taking CBD – or that nightmares have become less frequent
The explanation could lie in the stabilizing effect of CBD on the autonomic nervous system, which influences our emotional experience during sleep.
CBD for nightmares and sleep problems
Some users use CBD oil to improve their sleep quality – especially for
- Problems falling asleep due to stress or spinning thoughts ( CBD flowers or oils are used).
- waking up at night
- Increased tension in the evening
- Nightmares or restless sleep
Although no medical recommendation can be made, many people report a subjectively calmer sleep pattern. It is important to take products regularly and at a consistent rhythm.
Is CBD for sleep legal in Switzerland?
Yes – as long as all legal requirements are met:
- The THC content must be below the detection limit (< 1 %)
- Products must be declared as cosmetics, food supplements or flavoring products
- A clear declaration of ingredients and laboratory analyses are mandatory
Manufacturers such as Herba di Berna ensure that all regulatory requirements are met. Our products are tested several times, clearly declared and from Swiss cultivation.
CBD and dreaming What to look out for when buying?
A good CBD product to support sleep should:
- be THC-free or < 1 % THC and laboratory-tested
- Are produced naturally and without artificial additives
- If possible, contain a full spectrum extract
- Enable simple dosing (e.g. with a pipette)
💡 Tip: CBD oils with 12% or 24% in combination with a hemp tea in the evening and a consistent evening routine can help you find inner peace.
CBD and dreams Conclusion – an exciting connection
CBD can influence the dream experience – but how exactly varies from person to person. Some sleep more deeply and dream less, others report intense, emotional dreams. The decisive factors are quality, dosage and personal perception.
If you want to use CBD to fall asleep or to influence dreams, you should take your time to find the right product and the right routine.
