New to this forum, trying to get involved. Read over some basic stuff, the FAQ and intro guides on the internet. I have very good dream recall, and have had some lucid dreams, more a few years ago than recently, but a change in my life has me interested in pursuing LD as a possible solution to answering some questions.


Anyways a few things I haven't seen addressed:

Falling asleep with music/TV on. what effect does this have, what kind of external environment do you need?

Taking sleep aids, I take melatonin some nights when I can't sleep. I feel like it enhances my dreams but have never had a lucid dream or anything close while on it.

Smoking weed before bed, what effect will this have?

Like I said sorry if any of the questions are dumb, just trying to answer some self-relevant questions that have an effect on me.

Thanks in advance
