Double Dream strain guide
Double Dream is a sativa-leaning hybrid made by crossing Blue Dream with Dream Star. People know it for a sweet, berry and floral smell and a clear, upbeat feel that many describe as focused rather than foggy.
Where does Double Dream come from?
Sources agree on the cross: Blue Dream, one of the best-known sativa-leaning hybrids around, paired with Dream Star. The name is a simple nod to having two "Dream" strains in the family.
Who first made the cross is not well documented, and different regions credit different growers. One strain database lists two strains bred from it, Diamond Dust and Double Dare, so it has been used as a parent too.
One thing to watch for: a separate, CBD-leaning strain is sometimes sold as Double Dream (CBD). It shares the name but not the THC levels, so check which one you're looking at.
What does Double Dream smell and taste like?
Double Dream smells sweet and berry-forward, with floral notes and a spicy, herbal edge underneath. It's close to the Blue Dream smell many people already know, with a little more spice.
Published terpene results put myrcene on top, followed by pinene and caryophyllene. Myrcene brings the earthy, herbal side, pinene a fresh pine note and caryophyllene a peppery bite. The flavour usually follows the smell: sweet berry on the inhale and a herbal finish.
Double Dream effects: what people report
People most often describe Double Dream as focused and uplifted, with a relaxed body that doesn't slow you down much. Reviewers also mention feeling creative, chatty and a little giggly, which fits its sativa lean.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints, and some people say it can feel racy or uneasy at higher amounts.
How strong is Double Dream?
Double Dream is usually a high-THC strain. Published listings put it at about 21% to 26% THC, with little to no CBD.
If you're new to it, start small and give it time before having more. Sativa-leaning strains can feel busier in the head, so pacing yourself helps. Your batch's THC and CBD numbers are on the label, and our guide to indica vs sativa explains why those labels only tell part of the story.
Buying Double Dream in Canada
Check that the label matches the strain you want. Double Dream, Blue Dream and Blueberry Dream are easy to mix up, and the CBD-leaning Double Dream is a different product altogether.
You might find it as dried flower, pre-rolls or vape cartridges. Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that berry smell.
Double Dream vs Blue Dream
Blue Dream is the parent and the more famous of the two. Both smell of sweet berry and lean toward a clear, upbeat feel. Double Dream adds a spicier, more herbal note from its Dream Star side and is often described as a little more focused, while Blue Dream is known for a gentler, easygoing balance. Listings often put Double Dream a couple of points higher in THC. If you want the well-known classic, start with Blue Dream. If you'd like a sharper, more focused take, try Double Dream.
