Thread: Things that affect dreaming/LDing...add your own.

Being sick, It definatley affects my dreams.

I'll have to disagree with you on the masturbation thing. My dreams seem more memorable if I do, but I can't say anything for sure of course.

Alcohol in excess kills my dream recall and LD chances, but a bit of Alcohol seems to increase my LD chances a bit.

Focusing on not moving my body at all as I go to sleep (ala Jeff777's thread) seems to increase my DILD frequency more than anything else. It keeps me very aware as I'm going to sleep. The downside is that this keeps me up longer and I probably get less sleep overall (I don't seem to notice it though the next day).

Alcohol, after drinking I sleep the sleep of the dead, so no LD's generally.
I have amazing dreams after sex, but am usually too lazy to LD.
Weed helps me to focus, I have good LD's after smoking.

Someone should make some topics kinda like this like "Dream signs you've found", "methods to increase lucidity", etc. and everyone could post theirs and the first post should be updated imo that would be a good way to get alot of information on certain topics that everyone could contribute on.

Alcohol helps me dream. I get Lucids pretty consistently after having a few drinks. When it's stimulant properties kick in later in the night, I wake up with my heart racing. This forces me into having a WBTB. Add that to some REM suppression early in the night, and it makes a great combo.

Galantamine is an absolute miracle drug for lucid dreaming. Don't tell the FDA

For me, WBTB is the number one thing that influences my dreams.

Being deprived of sleep greatly affects my DILD ability lol
Other than that... well can't think of others that are not common <.<
