I found they not only came back but after a week of no weed, for a week or so the dreams were really vivid, then after awhile settled into a more "normal" (what I'm used to) state.
Yes; that's almost universally reported by all regular cannabis users. Extremely vivid dreams (or nightmares, depending on the user).
According to Mathew Walker (sleep researcher) weed (and alcohol) supress REM sleep, so when you quit you get REM rebound, where your brain tries to make up for the lack of it. Hence the crazy dreams.
