Lets not confess to a felony for lucid dreaming sake. |

Any input on if this can induce LDs? I used to smoke, but quit like 8-10 months ago. |

And if you've successfully given up, don't start again. |

I just had my first lucid in months after smoking last night. I think it increases my amount of lucid dreams, but it also harder to remember them. So it's a win/lose. |

yeah its a strange balance to find isnt it. i think in very small amounts it can be exactly what you need to give you that boost of awareness. however its easy to over do it and just have fuzzy forgetful dreams |

now this may sound odd at first, but when you are training yourself to be able to do something, it is not always beneficial to use aids that actually help you to perform it. for example when in training for sprinting, high level athletes do not put springs on their spikes or a jetpack on their back. they often tie heavy weights around themselves and even use bungy cords to hold them back. i feel weed can be used in the same way for dream training. perhaps the suppression of rem creates a build up and this is why many people get vivid dreams when they quit for a while. i know the first time i quit, i had the most vivid dreams that i had never thought possible before. in fact i may start a thread on this approach to training because none of the techs around here seem to use that approach. havent thought it through fully yet so just throwing it out there |

I think marijuana is a wonderful thing and it definitely helps me sleep and dream. I have the coolest most vivid dreams on nights I go to sleep after I have been smoking...but honestly I think it depends on the individual. I dont care what anyone says, you smoke a good potent indica strain, you're going to be out in a few minutes after laying in bed. If you're a more tense person that has problems falling asleep or relaxing, I would definitely recommend seeing if MJ would help you, because it does wonders for me. Sometimes I will feel like I have restless legs and my eyes will feel like they have a mind of their own and will always twitch and want to open by themselves, really making it unable to sleep or relax. MJ counteracts that and makes it really easy for me to relax my muscles and focus on my meditation...it also helps me maintain an even and normal sleep schedule. Its the safest most effective natural medicine in existence, so give it a shot and see what works for you. |

I have a feeling OP's trying to show off, but I'm fairly sure mary jane kills off your dream. |

Dream Goals
- Talk to subconscious
- Find musical inspiration in a dream
- Draw a scene in real life and find it within a dream
- Remember at least five dreams in one week
This is not my experience at all, but it seems to be the case for some people. I am a heavy MJ smoker (depending on the bud and method of consumption, but I usually smoke 5-7 doobies, or about 8-10 bowls per day....sometimes more sometimes less). However, I use no other forms of medication or drugs, no cigarettes, alcohol, or prescription drugs. I dont even like taking tylenol. I think after so long your body just becomes accustomed to it, and it wont really hinder any of your dream activity. I have the best quality of sleep and dreams when using MJ. |

cheers doom good posts i agree. wow thats alot you smoke but everyone is different, and some people almost need it to be able to fit in and live a normal life. the stereotype of a smoker is a lazy bum, but the guy who smokes the most out of everyone i know, is the most hyperactive bloke ive ever met and currently off travelling the world, while most of my other mates are working in dead end jobs for the man, while thinking that weed ruins peoples lives |

its called REM rebound. since you've had suppressed REM sleep from smoking weed, you have a sudden burst of it when you stop. and using weed as a training method just sounds like a TERRIBLE idea. just don't use it at all and learn to dream the hard way. without and help of outside tools. it will be most rewarding to do it without a crutch. |

well, would you rather have a lucid dream or be a poor drug addict? |
