Thread: REM Rebound and coherency?

Last night tried a few vits and nothing much, not trying ulta hard. Also had prob what would equate to 1 standard drink, (I know, not good for LD.)
This is supposed to surpress REM right?
So dose REM rebound happen the next night? or can it happen later that same night?
Odd thing is in the morning I had a very coherent dream that was easy to recall. I was explaining to someone the basics of Einstien, Rosenwhatsisface bridge black hole theory, Hyperspace / universe as a hypershpere, wormhole travel stuff.
Now I don't know everything about this stuff, but I know a little. And what I was saying wasn't bull$h!t. It was all making perfect sense, even tho this is not the most basic of things to explain to someone. It dose require some degree of spatial awareness ect, and I was explaining the hole thing with drawings and paper models.

Is this what REM rebound is? Because coherency and vividness are to of what I would consider to be opposite effects of alcahol.

Anyone experienced similar?

As far as I understand, alchohol inhibits REM sleep for certain amount of time.
As it wears off, your body attempts to compensate for lost REM sleep and enters a very long REM period, which can have like 4-5 long dream episodes joined together

Well, I've only had 2 LD's (MILD's) since I started actively trying to induce them. So feel free to take this with a grain of salt. But my second (and by far, most intense and enjoyable) LD came after a night which had involved numerous margaritas, so I was plenty tanked when I went to bed.


I don't drink much these days, so it might have been some kind of REM rebound. My dreams were particularly vivid when I became lucid. But then again, I had gone to the County Fair that day and doing Reality Checks while surrounded by Carnies and Cotton Candy and other surreal stuff might have been the main catalyst. I remember thinking it was especially easy to question reality while I was in such loopy environment.
