Hello all, I've heard of Lucid Dreaming before but only now have I begun to practice dream recall and have made adjustments in my life to facilitate lucid dreaming. However I have a few questions.

- Going to sleep is really hard for me as I cant seem to predict when Im going to fall asleep. I can feel tired and lay down, and repeat to myself over and over that I will "Remember my dreams and be able to write them down in the morning." The only problem with this is I end up not being able to fall asleep right away.

Last night I repeated that phrase for an hour and a half total and after that I dont remember what happened. Do you guys know any easy ways to fall alseep?

- I've stopped smoking MJ because I have read that it supresses REM Sleep, is this true? If the High has already worn off will it still supress REM Sleep? If the high is worn off will it still supress Dream Recall?

-edit-

- Also, Ive heard of something called Dream Rebound, which after a long time of smoking MJ or using other drugs ones dreams will become more frequent, more intense, and longer, due to the lack of REM Sleep due to the supression and the supressed Dream Recall. Is there any substance to this?
