I'm new to this, OP, and I've been doing it for 5 weeks now. My experience is the OP is related to the diarrhea but it is detox, meaning it is helping your body detox and if you stick with it you should be okay. I know nothing about the dreams, sorry. I am interested in the table salt water rinse and wonder if a Sea Salt rinse would help me. How long are you rinsing? I pull with coconut oil and it has been an amazing experience for me. I don't plan on ever stopping.
