Thread: Doing drugs in dreams- What have you done?

It's crazy that you say that because I've experienced this first hand, exactly, in my dreams. I was nabbed up along with a few other people on the street and shoved into a limousine by several Men in Black. They proceeded to hold down each and every one of us in the back seat, and injected heroin (or what I originally perceived to be such) directly into our 3rd Eye (mind's eye).

The typical dream-faring me is much like my real persona... a HUGE stoner, but an amazingly functional one. Marijuana plays quite a large role in my dream life. DCs constantly come to me "hitting me up"

God I love marijuana

Yeah, I have that a lot. Almost all of my dcs are stoners, haha!

Last night I smoke weed in a dream. The dream wasnt lucid but it felt like smoking weed in real life

yeah I get that a lot even though I don't smoke IRL anymore it feels very real!

It happens the opposite for me. When I smoke marijuana in dreams it doesn't really affect me... as in I don't feel "high" but I enjoy the act or process of smoking.

What's weird is that the drugs that have felt the most "real" to me have all been drugs that I've never actually tried IRL... Coke... Heroin... etc.

that happens to me a little less than half of the time that I smoke in a dream, I wont really feel high maybe just buzzed...

I have been out of drug rehab for 2 weeks now. The only drug that I remember doing in my dreams in smoking marijuana. What I find interesting is I only remember having used in my dreams once I got sober 2 months ago. I now often experience relapse dreams. I never really remember putting a joint to my mouth but I know that I have used and I feel very stoned, more so that I did when I used in the past. I immediately feel shame and guilt and its like I suddenly remember that I am in recovery. When I wake up I feel thankful that I am in recovery.

aww don't feel guilty

It wasn't lucid but I did, cocaine/marijuana/LCD/some tiny ciggarette that apparently cost 800$ LOL

IDK, in a way thats kinda a good thing, that you feel guilt because it is a reflection of how you would feel in real life. Just get better at being lucid and separating it from normal reality.

Never done drugs in real life, so I doubt I'll be doing them in dreams Never know though.

I've been told that it is common to get relapse dreams when you are in recovery. Its nice when I wake up and realize that I'm still sober and it was just a dream. The dreams are much less frequent that they were in the first month. I hope to get better at lucid dreaming so that I can remind myself that I am in fact sober. What I find really weird is how stoned I felt in the dream. It felt very realistic.

I've smoked joints like 5 times, and seen weed in my dreams like 8 times. I once drank a milkshake with lsd in it, and I saw triangles and squares that were yellow and green, it was weird. Two days ago I had a dream where I did 2 tabs and my dog did 6 (I was like "WHY THE DOG MAN"), and I saw my arms, and the hue was changing, I had purple hands and green floor, then blue, green, etc. Neat

when i take breaks from smoking weed, i often dream about it and a couple of times in meditations i have slipped into a dream and been smoking a spliff like it was really there. it was amazing both times, although i could see how it would be a worry if you were trying to give something up. could it almost be beneficial when trying to give something up, to actually play it out in a dream, almost to get it out of your system?

one time i had a long obe on acid, during part of it i was walking round the dreamworld with a never ending bifta. of course i didnt need it, but my mind wanted to cling to somethings that i could relate to i suppose. it was probably the best experience ive ever had, and was just like being in the most stable, otherworldly lucid imaginable, where i could just imagine whatever i wanted and it was there. of course i had to go through a bit of difficulty to get there, but it was well worth it in the end

I absolutely do think it is beneficial. However I've been having a thought about this that I'm trying to decide whether is good or bad. I can't help but think that if I were to attain lucidity and not feel the guilt, it would be nice to enjoy the high in my dream. Is that like cheating my recovery? I technically wouldn't have a relapse Or do you think that attaining lucidity would make the high go away. Have you been lucid while experiencing a high in your dream?

I'm going to write one of my sponsors about this but I think I know the answer. Its no better to chase a high in a dream than it is in real life. It just hit me that tomorrow is my official two months sober. Two months ago I didn't think I could do it yet here I am. I'm proud of myself

hey congratulations thats great.
its hard to say because i dont think i have ever been anything other than high in any of my lucids. fortunately i think that feeling of everlasting well being is hopefully starting to pass over into my everyday life. however i have definately had one lucid in which i was smoking and it was good and pretty real. especially the taste.

of course i hesitate to say this, but i dont see the harm in chasing a natural high, especially from your own mind in a dream. you do not need drugs in a dream to get high. especially a lucid. the only dreams where it feels like my mind is too obsessed by weed are completely non lucid ones, not happened in ages though fortunately.

you could also use this as a great dreamsign. i would imagine that using it as a dreamsign would be really beneficial because if you catch yourself doing it in a dream, you can reject it, get lucid and learn to create whole new levels of natural high for yourself. everyone is chasing a high, whether it is though drugs or the more 'normal' materialistic high, it is only natural to want to improve your state of mind. the only problem is when you becom obsessed with one way of reaching it, especially if it is an external high. hope im making a little sense, its getting late and i should be dreaming by now...

why get high when you can fly???

What are you in recovery for, marijuana? Sorry to make light of your situation, but kinda reminds me of that scene in half baked.

As long as it doesn't become an addiction there is nothing wrong with getting high, be it in a dream or otherwise. I'm recently cut down on the amount of smoking I do(to about once a month) so I can focus on LDing, but I will probably never smoke as much as I used to, it isn't as enjoyable. Drugs are not bad being dependent on them is. It's very unlikely that you're going to develop an addiction to dream weed.

I have been trying to get stoned in a LD for a few weeks but haven't really been able to. I've done it in the past, but recently when I try I wake up shortly after before I feel the effects. I think it's because I;ve been trying to do a very specific goal, pulling out a cigarette case full of joints, and I've had difficulty doing it so when I finally get a joint I'm starting to lose the dream a bit.

I also did acid once, it had some strange effects like seeing visual patterns on things and bending dimensions of the room I was in. In another dream I took acid, 15 hits, and it did nothing, but I wasn't thinking straight in that one. But I've had other dreams that seemed more like an acid trip where I was just dreaming. In one I got lucid and in my excitement decided to do a backflip. While I was doing it I thought I don't know how to do backflips, how will I know what to do? When I landed fell through the floor and started hallucinating like mad, I saw patterns of colors that looked sort of like a god's eye(those yarn things with popsicle sticks) that were moving. I tried to stay in this place for as long as I could but that was only about 30 secs.

In another more recent dream I LDEILDed and it was only the second time I had done it. I was laying on the stairs because I was really tired(in the dream) and the stairs started to stretch downward. I felt like I was fused with the stairs and just watched as they started to twist sideways and down.

Thank you. What you have said does make sense.

I am trying to use reality checks in dreams to attain lucidity. I hope to be able to catch myself next time I have a 'relapse' dream. Last time I had a dream with drugs in it I didn't use. I was in a drug dealer's house and there was weed and cocaine everywhere. Every surface of this dealer's home was covered in some sort of drug. In the dream the drug dealer had been murdered before I arrived and I noticed that he had a dog. I figured this was not a good environment for the dog so I took it home to take care of it. The thought of using never crossed my mind. This was a non-lucid dream. Since then I attained a short moment of lucidity at the very end of a dream. If I am able to keep this up then I am excited to see the result of lucidity in a drug dream.

Ive had dreams where I smoked weed and got high as Ive ever been. So high that I woke up and still felt like I was stoned for real. Also with alchohol, Ive got drunk in dreams then woke up and still felt drunk for a while. Its amazing how the mind works.

^^ I've had this happen as well, but only with weed in non-lucids. It usually wears off really quickly.

In one dream, I was drunk and when I woke up I was really dizzy, like I kept spinning, it was very weird.

Happened this morning, but I can't remember the dream now. I felt really stoned and just laid there for a bit and fell back asleep.

I got really high last night, so high I went into the next dream still feeling high.

What I think is your energy body rememebers what its like to be high, so what it does is it mimicks it in the dream same with getting drunk.

Someone injected me with a sedative in a semi-lucid dream recently...it was weird how realistic it was
