Dream drugs ruin my control over the LD

So, last night I had my first successfully induced LDs! (Two, in fact!) :mrgreen:

However, in between the first and the second LD, I had a non-lucid where I ingested some pot. Then in my second LD, I remembered eating the pot brownie and thought I had done so in real life... Which made me feel high in the dream, effectively ruining my control over the dream and leading to a desperate, paranoid attempt to get a glass of water. (see my dream journal for the full dream, it's actually pretty funny. I don't know how to paste the link here, but there's one in my profile.)

Anyone else had an experience where they thought they were on drugs in a lucid dream? How did it affect your control? Anything I could have done to salvage?

You were pretty low-lucid. You could have just changed it back if you would have been aware of the fact that you're in control.

I actually was wondering that, if doing drugs in an LD would make you high. Obviously so, but i guess if it was a low-level LD or whatever he called it, mayb not so. hm. interesting.

Well, the thing was that I wasn't able to realize I was in control because I thought it was my *real* self, not my dream self that was high. I just thought my dream consciousness was along for the ride because of an actual drug in my sleeping body... So, it wasn't so easy to just "take control," even though I tried....

I have taken drugs in non-lucid dreams with interesting effects, but none very realistic to what the drug would be like in real life. This was a highly realistic drug effect I experienced in the LD.

Sounds interesting. I've remembered dreams within a dream (non-lucid FA where I wrote in my DJ only to wake up for real a minute later), but I haven't thought those dreams were real life. Because you thought you actaully were high, I don't think there was anything you could have done about it, because you thought it was reality transferring to the dream, so you couldn't change your situation as you can't change reality through your dream.

heheheh thats funny ;p you get high free in your ld

Has anyone ever tried tripping on acid in a lucid dream and been successful? Just curious. Sounds like a good time.

I haven't done it myself, although I have in various non-lucids. It would defintiely be interesting.

You might find RussianScientist's discussion of drug use in lucids interesting here. I haven't (and most likely wouldn't) tried his methods of inducing lucid dreams, but his "Alice in Wonderland" technique for attaining different effects in his dream is pretty cool and perhaps worth trying.

Btw, I see you're new - welcome to the forum :bliss:

I triped on LSD in my first lucid after offering it to george harrison, who refused. This was how i knew it was a lucid, cause i said to myself 'it can't hurt, im only dreaming'. My vision was imediantly replaced with psychedelic colours and the words wake up! kept flashing in front of me.

Just following with the slightly off-topic side here, but why would you wanna take drugs in a dream?? They're whacked out enough! :?

I have the same opinion, but I think it is because it gives the dream an extra dimension of weirdness, and a abstract, even more surreal aspect, but I'm not sure as I've never done it.

I took some acid in a non-lucid dream once, but strangely all that happened was I got really stoned like I had smoked pot. I've never been on acid in real life.

A friend of mine that was in a dream I was in did heroine... but of course I dont know how it felt.

Yes, actually just a couple of nights ago, i droped some Acid in my dream and the effect turned out just as it should've in real life. Kinda funny, one thing's good about it. onset = 1 sec
so, just drop it then enjoy ^_^

Ofcourse you didn't get the real Acid effect in you're dream. Since you haven't tried Acid in real life, your brain can't visualise the effect of it in you're dream. Since you don't know what it feels like, you cant get the effect in a dream.

alchol always messes my dreams up. I don't drink it in real life but it will be right there in a dream and when I drink it, everything changes it usally leads to a "party" situation I'm in. I think its just because thats what my brain assocaits with that kind of stuff.

sure... but if youve never taken the drug in reality it will most likely just show you your perception of the drug as someone whos never taken it... what you imagine it as. like if youve never done coke (and hopefully you havent) but youve seen the starsky and hutch movie your mind might simulate the effects of taking cocaine as what you saw in the movie, because thats how you imagine it to be... but overall i try to stay away from drugs in dreams because... well quite frankly drugs are for people with nothing to do, and in lucid dreaming theres not only not nothing (?), theres everything. but if you find yourself going against my advice and taking them while lucid (which is perfectly fine there your dreams you decide), or taking them while your non-lucid, then just close your eyes and tell yourself they have no effect on you, because there not real... though im really not the person to ask as i dont often experiment with dream drugs.

I had a dream where I drank motor oil :huh2: Strangely, it tasted just like how it smells :huh2:

I've actually had a dream where I got high in it and really felt convinced that I was high during the dream right until I woke up. It might have been because I smoked grass a few days before that dream (the effect trails on for a while in subtle ways), but in the dream, it was real as heck!
