Thread: Medication Might Prevent Lucid Dreams

Well I know Xanax does effect your memory. I guess I cant really say that I didnt have any lucid dreams because I cant remember them. Not being able to remember them doesnt mean I didnt have any.

Exactly. Even though Xanax affects you're dream recall negatively, I still want to try and see if I can get a LD out of it... I think Xanax will help LDs overall if you just have really good dream recall (which I recently dont seem to have)

And besides I really just want to try it! lol.

I take temazepam every night and I'm still able to attain lucidity. Whether or not it is more difficult I wouldnt know because Ive never had a lucid dream before I started taking it.

I guess you're a natural then kut_throat. I worked incredibly hard to get those very few LDs that Ive had thank you very much, lol.

Well temazepam is in the same class of drugs as Xanax is, so if you naturally have good dream recall and it helps your lucidity then I guess it could be the temazepam that caused your LD(s)... unless you're a natural like kut_throat is.

Thats what I dont understand...I see eveyone here working to get them and they come naturaly to me. I really dont understand it. It weirds me out but on the other hand it is also interesting. Ive started writing down my dreams and I am supprised to find that I remember so many little details. My dreams tend to be a large paragraph to over half a page.

Yeah that's a good thing that you're a natural. I guess that means that you naturally have really good memory or something like that. And yeah you should definitely keep writing down your dreams b/c it helps out a lot and soon you will be writing down dreams that are a page or even longer!

But im curious, how long exactly have you been taking Xanax? And have you had any LDs while on it?

I dont take Xanax that much, I am perscribed Seroquel for primary insomnia. I only take a Xanax if I have had a crazy day and have a lot on my mind.

Ive notice a lot of people here try to achive lucid dreams...but mine just happen without me doing anything...And I dont know about the Xanax
