Thread: Marijuana and Lucid Dreaming

I'm posting this thread wondering if there any other regular marijunana smokers who have trouble recalling their dreams that are active on this website. Recently i've decided to induldge in the LD community again and hopefully experience some more lucids. Now i can't really do that if i'm not getting any dream recall. Most of the time i like to (almost need to) go to sleep high. it pretty much crashes me out but always blacks all my dreams out too.

So if you're having this problem too..explain

I had and have that problem. All I do is smoke weed all day. It's a problem for a dreamer because it fucks up your head. Unfortunately, just like if you're going to spit some game or explain something, when you're dreaming, you want to keep a clear head. Just like you might be able to convince a girl to take off her pants while you're high, or get your point across while you're high, you'd have been better off if you didn't toke up before hand. it's the same with lucid dreams... It can be done, it's just more difficult and you're more likely to fuck up.

But i do okay with it and I burn my fair share of green. In fact, I'm gonna go smoke a bowl right now.

When I was smoking pretty much every day, it was a lot harder to remember dreams. When I started doing regular tolerance breaks though, going to sleep high made dream recall a fair bit easier. Just my two cents

This was probably b/c I had been up for about 1&1/2 hours (which is way too long for me) before trying to WILD. Another thing that interfered with my WILD was the fact that it increased my heart rate. My heart was going just a little bit too fast for me to be able to slow my breathing down enough to fall asleep.

But on a positive note: I did notice some "reverse-complimentary" effects. Meaning that my attempts at WILDing significantly increased the marked relaxation that I was already feeling from the weed. I noticed that I felt a lot better while laying down completely motionless while high, than I did while I was up walking around.

So Im definitely going to try this again but without staying up as long as I did before going back to sleep.
