Thread: Medication Might Prevent Lucid Dreams

I have Lucid Dreams every night. So a few nights ago I took a xanax to help with me sleep. And that night I didnt have any lucid dreams and couldnt remember my dreams like Ive been able to for the past few weeks. They I took another one last night just to see if it prevented me from having any lucid dreams. The same thing happend I didnt have any lucid dreams and couldnt remember my dreams like always have been. Im not doctor or anything like that. I have just a made a small connection. It may be true or not. Im just giving you my prespective.

Do you know how xanax effects your brain? Is it a agonist antagonist or precursor?

I dont think xanax makes your brian struggle or whatever antagonist means...and as for precursor I have no idea what you are talking about.

I heard the exact opposite about Xanax. I heard that it actually helps when it comes to having Lucid Dreams. But unfortunately, Xanax does affect your dream recall in a negative way. Its a Central Nervous System Depressant (like alcohol is) in the class of benzodiazepines. So whenever you take CNS Deppressant, you're going to have trouble recalling your dreams whether you became Lucid or not.

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.
