I KNEW IT!!! |
|
I know its been said here before that marijuana affects dream recall but man it reeeeaaaaaaalllyy does! i usually smoke multiple times a day (and even still im remembering decent dreams, with help from keeping a dream journal and reminding myself to remember them) but i decided to see if the weed really messes with my recall. I took 2 days off from smoking (might not seem like much to yall but it is if you smoke like me) and i remembered the most vivid dreams after the 2nd one. I actually remembered 2 dreams from a nap and 3 full dreams from later in the night, thats alot of dreaming for me within that short span of time! Yesterday i smoked a whole bunch, but still like always, focused on dreaming as i went to bed. I even took B6 for the first time to help with the recall and vividness. Anyway i woke up this morning and remembered shit. |

Yuuup. That's good advice. I've cut back A LOT on smoking because of how bad it effects my recall. I'd been partying for the last couple of weeks or so, though, and just look at my dream journal now. Lol. Fuckin sad. |

I know what you mean. Weed drastically affects recall, DRASTICALLY, and not in a good way. I was chronic once upon a time myself, and i knew if i would have cut back, my LDing would increase greatly. Eventually the time came when i had to stop smoking, and boom, all of a sudden i had LD's like at least once a week. I'm still off the dope, but i have no problems with anyone who enjoys it, either in moderation or in excess. But, to all my fellow oneironauts, be warned that weed will impair both your dream recall and your ability to lucid dream. |

Yeah marijuana and LD don't work well together for me too. I quit weed after four years because for me it was a waste of time trying to LD when I smoke it, and I injoy the felling of LDing more. Also I wanted to stop because of my lungs and my fitness, I know I could have purchase a vaporizer but didn't want to get one because some people say it give you a different affect and didn't want to waste $$$. |

It's weird, it's not at all like that for me! My dream recall can be amazing even if I've been smoking like a chimney, and then I can have a week of remembering no dreams at all when I've been totally sober. I know that it's usually not like that but marijuana doesn't seem to have any effect on my dream recall. *shrug* |
|
Yaaar... I've been experimenting for myself... it DOES seem it blocks dream recall alot. Although, that one experience where I almost WILD'd happened when I was still stoned. |

ive never smoked in my life.. (if you dont count secondhand smoking ) and ive had exellant (sp?) dream recall my whole entire life. though mabey one day i'll try n see if it helps even more, but untill that day comes.. im happy w/ my godly perfect dream recall!! |
|
I've never really found weed to be a problem with my dream recall. Infact..I had my first LD while still buzzed. |

Thing I foudn out about weed is that when you smoke it in the 4 hours before you Close your eyes and fall asleep at night then it will send you in a way too deep Delta Sleep with little to no Drems. This is because of the Depressant, Downer, effect Weed has. However the Psychedelic effect of weed is what sometimes gives people Wonderfully Vivid and Colorfull Dreasm. |

new guy here...now for something weird....i quit smoking yesterday (just b4 finding this site) smoked 1/2 ounce of hydro a week for the last 10 yrs, i have only ever quit once (last year for 2 months) and noticed immediatly that i had wild amazing dreams with almost total recall, that was the only bummer about starting again, i still had great dreams, but nothing like when i had quit. |

I feel ya, I took a whole month off from smokin weed just to prove my bros wrong(I love my weed, but I aint lettin down my bros) and now my dream recall 10x better and after that month it was like I started all over again, with the first blast and all. its all good, you understand me? |
|

Pot used to destroy my recall as well, though one time I did remember a Lucid Dream |
|
Wow...am I the only one on here who doesn't smoke weed?! Hmm.. what link am I on again? Hahaha!~ |

This thread made me realize I've been smoking too much hash. Well, I knew I was, but the dream recall is probably the best motivation to tone it down. It makes perfect sense too, seeing how thc messes with waking memory as well. |

I'm very glad there was a post on this subject, because I've been dwelling over the exact same thing for the past couple of weeks. I am having terrible recall and smoking loads of weed at the same time. I was assuming the weed was the issue with the recall but I was trying to fight it. Either way, I think a break would be a great idea. I also find it interesting to know that some of you that posted say you have no problem with recall while still smoking weed consistently. I am wondering if possibly there is a way to overcome the loss of memory with a gain in tolerance and practice of recall; perhaps the dreams are not as vivid though. |

I have yet to meet the superhuman whose memory stays on the same level when smoking weed. |
