I know for a fact that I cannot, other peoples results may vary. There have been some times when I've gone to bed after a few drinks and become lucid. I usually find that my lucids under these conditions are fuzzy and difficult to maintain. |

Self knowledge is the key and with out it we can unluck no other knowledge worth having

Its funny you asked htis question becuase i was going to myself. |
|
I think your asking if we are able to control whether we are drunk or high after smoking or drinking and I dont think so. I have never really focused on trying to do so other than acting straight around adults but I never feel as if I have full control of it. I'm gonna smoke tomorrow so I'll try really hard and then post again. |

LDs: 1
I've been able to have lucid dreams under the influence of anti-anxiety drugs (like xanax) but I noticed that the clarity, realism, and control were about 50% less than they would typically be. Also, I've had lucid dreams under the influence of amphetamines (like adderall) and noticed that they were extremely realistic, I had much control, and were very clear. As far as alcohol, it makes my dream recall nonexistant. And I don't think I smoke enough to make an informed decision about that. |

Thats a good question for sure. I know I've went to bed after being intoxicated and I never once had a Lucid dream. Intoxication takes away my Lucid abilities, which is the cool thing because everyone is different I know some people that can go Super Lucid only when going to bed Drunk as a Skunk.... haha! |

Are you asking if it is easy to have and LD when under the influence or are you asking whether it is easy to not feel under the influence when under the influence because LDers are more in touch with their subconcious and can will unintoxication? |

LDs: 1
Well I can answer from my experience. I don't drink, so I don't know about the effects of intoxication on LDs, but I was using a legal psychedelic on a weekly basis a few months ago (from 10/04 to 2/05), and noticed DEFINITE changes in my dreaming. Before using it, I was having lucid dreams about once every 2 weeks. After using it, and even after stopping, I have had lucids almost every night. The funny thing is, the night of using it, while still under the influence, I had no dreams (literally, because of not being able to reach REM levels because of its effect). But the very next night, I noticed that the dreams were incredible and lucid almost the entire night. The extraoridinary vivid and lucid dreams would last about 1 week after using it, but still since discontinuing the use, I still have lucid dreams nearly every night (except for the occasional dry spell). Apparently it worked as some "unclogger" for the highway between my conscious and subconscious; a Drano if you will. |

I guess my my question wasn't clear but it brought up a lot of intersting points i had not considered. |

Never stop searching for truth. In your search you may think you have found it, and perhaps you have, but if you hold on tightly to a single thread it will fray and it's greater meaning will become lost. There is always more truth stretching deep beneath the surface that promises to reveal ever greater the infinite, interwoven fabric of truth, woven in the looms of Heaven.

The full effect of these different drugs on the mind including subconsious is generally not known. This means the damage it does to you, and also the benifits of the drugs are not known. It is a big mess. Just a mixture of generally random chemicals created from ignorance. Research is limited due to the mess of our society and it's structure. |

Dear Nirvanastarseed, |
|
I guess one clear example of why drugs or alchohol hinder LDs is tha fact that the term LUCID means obvious, distinct, evident, unblurred and understandable. and what do drugs do? Alter that effect on your mind. |
