Thread: 100% mastered lucidity and control ruined...

For me smoking weed will defininately reduce the chance of having any dreams. Though after a day or two of no pot my dreams will return to normal, if not slightly more abudant for a few day's. I personally think your symptoms are psychological, as I really can't think of anything else that would explain this.

Good luck...

EDIT: After re-reading your previous post and a few others I started thinking. Have you done any other drugs, alcohol or anything? Your making a huge deal out of smoking a natural herb that humans have used for thousands of years. It can't harm you, though true not everyone enjoys it. I don't mean to insult at all, but it seems you've blown this experiance way out of proportion. Perhaps making peace with it will help?

I have not had more than a gulp of alcohol at any one occasion. Never enough to even feel a buzz, only enough to taste. I have never done any other drug, only this, that one time.

Making peace with it is not a problem, i live my days just fine, i hang out with my friends and whatever. By the time i wake up the next morning, its kinda like "*sigh* If only......"

To Deadly: I agree with the earlier posters. Start back at the bottom and work your way back up. Start a dream journal, do RC's, the whole deal.

And if you really believe the marijuana affected you that much, then you've set a mind block on yourself. Tell yourself right now that you can LD, you're going to get all your old skills back, you'll remaster it. Believe it!

Good luck!

I'll give it a whirl.... though i don't have much in the sense of a guiding spirit, nor the desire too. I can definitely work on believing i have the ability to dream. Even NOW that wouldn't be to hard, i can still LD ONCE IN A WHILE, so i'll let you know.
