I am a big coffee drinker. Maybe 2-3 cups in the morning and another around 4pm. Any thoughts on caffeine and LDing? Wondering if I should cut down to have better LD experiences. |

Coffee is the thing that helps me get lucid! |

The cigarette thing is very interesting. I have a theory that cigarettes, although considered unhealthy, actually help people meditate. With a cigarette you give yourself a reason to relax and just sit or stand there. How often would you just sit or stand there without a cigarette? Perhaps we (non-smokers) should though. If you are already relaxed, a cigarette gives you an excuse to let your mind go and perhaps this helps with sleeping and dreams. |

I drink so much coffee, and I have lucids every single night! I don't think it affects you with lucid dreaming at all unless you can't fall asleep because of it. Keep on drinking! |

coffee (caffeine) shouldn't have a negative effect on your ability to lucid dream. other substances, like weed and alcohol, have been proven to reduce the amount of REM sleep one gets. as long as it is part of your daily routine, the coffee shouldn't have a negative effect. neither should smoking cigarettes. |
