Thread: Dreaming and Cannabis

I personally haven't tried this, I think the best way to find out if it will work is to experiment. Or just don't smoke weed anytime close to when you were planning to lucid dream.

Good Luck!

It's worth a shot, but it's never worked like that for me before.

Well I guess I'm off to do a science experiment

I'll try different days of the week and will post back in a month or so...

As long as I keep motivated that is....

If possible post back sooner, I'd like to know the outcome of this.

Nice experiment

I'll give weekly updates or something...

I guess Ill have to force myself to smoke this week *sigh*

My friend has done this. Smoked for a few days, took a day off, and then used REM rebound to his advantage. He had a lucid the first night. There was a strong expectation to have a lucid dream.

It suppresses dreams? I take it that's only if you have it right before bed?

It reduces REM activity which is the state we have dreams in

And it affects the short term memory making remembering dreams harder...

In my experience it doesn't matter at what time of the day I smoke, I never remember any dreams ......this wears off in some days though

Honestly when I smoke I have NO dreams that night and then dreaming goes to the shitter for a couple of days after. It really sucks, because I like smoking... but I like lucid dreaming more.

My opinion, don't smoke at all...... It is dumb and ruines your life =) But go ahead. (good experiment though,)

P.S. It is illegal, too.....

Hmmmm my dream recall is horrible. I wonder if this is because I often smoke a lot of weed? I havent been smoking a lot lately but most of the last few years has been usualy every day. Maby I'll try not smoking for a while and when I hopefully start lucid dreaming and get some good dream recall I can easly experiment with the effects on dream recall and lucid dreaming.

I feel like many people are interested about this... From what I hear people may have dreams when they smoke... But claim to have terrible recall. I'm not sure what this experiment will be like. Only one way to find out though.

I always have very vivid dreams which seem to last a long time whenever I smoke a few hours before bed. I don't have too much trouble with dream recall either, i'm usually around 3 - 4 dream a night.

But... but... officer! I was smoking weed in the name of science!

Sarcasm aside, I've seen so many opinions on this I'm guessing it's different for every person.

Yea definatly would be different for everyone. Maby once I get good recal and ability to lucid dream it might not make a huge difference as long as i still keep my dj going and stuff, who knows...

No it doesn't.


Anyways, I've actually tried this and it has worked for me. Almost all the time I try it. Though it takes a full night after smoking to get the rebound. But the rebound is soo awesome!

Is the rebound very vivid dreams? So for the night you smoke and maby the night after you have no recall and then get a rebound and have awsome dreams?

Alright ......this is what I happened to me and isn't proof of anything

First I didnt smoke this week but I had edibles tuesday so to me same thing

Wends Morn- I actually remember a vivid thirty second dream about turnips

Thurs Morn- I know and can feel I had a dream but have no recall of anything

Fri Morn- I remember one pretty long dream of mild vividness

Satur Morn- (I cant tell if this was because I got to sleep in or not but) I remembered 3 dreams and with Deja vu of a fourth- two were long and vivid

Sun Morn- I remember 3 or 4 with deja vu of two others ( I say 3 or 4 because I woke up from one and re-entered one (false awakening?) so thats that)
One was really long with like 3 different scenes and all were vivid

NOTES- These are ALL regular dreams
I slept in Friday too
I fell asleep high Tuesday
i felt like I had dreams but I think the only thing that Marijuana really messes with is the recall
I think this can be overcome with perseverance
I didnt smoke any more that week
I gave my self a victory wake-n-bake today .....after my dream journaling of course

Till Next week....

Just your opinion sure. But it's not illegal where I live, so that parts a bit subjective.

Interesting experiment! Let me know... I've found that cannabis messing with people's dream recall and over all LDs is pretty subjective too though.

In my opinion, what constitutes the ability to LD is your general awareness of dreams and their nature, so you have the ability to recognize when your dreaming. If smoking cannibus actually messes with your dream recall, I'd lay off, but personally it's never hindered my ability to dream, and in alot of cases makes them more vivid and memorable.

damit the last 4 n ights I had good dream recall, 4 dreams 1 dream 3 and 3 again and then last night got drunk had a big sesh and no dreams haha could be both and the fact I barely slept long enough to get REM but still

LoL, that or you were drunk and just slept so hard you may not recall anything... I'd be interested to know if there are any regular cannibis smokers in here that still LD regularly. (I do, before and after a 2 year hiatus that I pretty much attribute to stress)
