'''~~Suppression of dreaming~~''' can be ~~described as~~ a ~~cognitive component~~ which ~~partially to entirely interferes with the REM dream stage~~ in the ~~dream cycle or suppresses recollection~~ and ~~retention~~ of the ~~dream in short term memory~~.

'''Dream suppression''' is defined as a decrease in the vividness, intensity, frequency, and recollection of a person's dreams. At its lower levels, this can be a partial suppression which results in the person having dreams of a lesser intensity and a lower rate of frequency. However, at its higher levels, this can be a complete suppression which results in the person not experiencing any dreams at all.

~~This can decrease~~ the ~~percieved frequency~~ and ~~vividness~~ of ~~an REM dream state, leading into a complete lack~~ of ~~ability to recall any details about~~ the ~~dream~~. ~~This can be~~ the ~~result from one of two different~~ effects~~, directly effecting the~~ REM ~~dream cycle~~ and ~~indirectly by partially or completely eliminating short term recall of a dream~~. ~~The first of~~ which ~~can result from use of cannabinoids such as~~ [[~~cannabis|THC~~]] ~~before~~ sleep ~~and~~ the ~~latter from [[depressant]]s such as [[alprazolam]]~~.
