I only know one person that smokes pot and lucid dreams, he is an anomaly. (Puffin)

Do you sleep 8-9 hours a night? Do you WBTB? Do you wake up after REM? Do you write in your DJ first thing in the morning if you get a dream? Do you wake up after every REM? Are you using a mantra? Are you confident? Do you lay still and think "where did I just come from?" Do you have a set goal of how many dreams you want for the day/week/month?

There are a few other things I have found work really well. Journal the previous day before you go to sleep, after DJing what you can, go over the previous day. Most dreams archetypes are from the previous day. When you find an archetype circle it in the journal, or write it next to your DJ entry. It is almost impossible to lose a dream if you have the archetype.

Also! Looking at the color blue helps.

Another big thing I think is actually having a schedule through the day, not just going with the flow of the day.

I think that if you did at least most of these things you will increase dream recall like a boss. I would recommend working on your confidence in your dreaming self above all.

edit:
I forgot to say! Reading a book about memory would help as well! There are lots of good ones out there.

When I smoke weed i have next to no dream recall at all. So yeah, don't do this

Just like what I have said and others have repeated, to improve dream recall you need to just write down your dreams when you wake up. If you can't remember them, keep trying and if that fails - you need to improve your foundations (Dream Journals, sleep, routine throughout day, believing you can remember dreams, saying mantra's; "I can remember my dreams", etc).

Like Brandon, I and others have said.. you need to get a decent amount of sleep, don't drink alcohol and don't smoke weed.

This is all we can offer you to be honest, LD takes commitment and practice, you just can't jump into a band with no experience and play a perfect symphony.

Saying all this to be honest, and like Brandon has explained, some people can drink and smoke weed and still dream recall and LD; they are either lucky or some people are naturally skilled But you can LD you can remember your dreams, everyone has that ability and you just need to improve your dream recall through effort and practice. Practice makes Perfect.
