hello everyone i just wanted to make siome sort of introduction. im a 19 year old dude from sweden with a great interest for expanding my perspective and knowledge. Despite of how we humans increased our knowledge and understanding, the mysteries that life presents to us are infinite and there is so much more to learn, so much room to grow. I think i am gonna start studying astrophysics this autumn because the universe is so incredibly fascinating, so vast , so complex. However, the universe inside our own minds are just as vast and fascinating, perhaps even more so since it is not bound by the laws wich shape the universe and it shall be explored.
Therefor i want to master the art of lucid dreaming. i've allways been fascinated by dreams because of how abstract and surreal they can be and when i found out about lucid dreaming a couple of years ago i was very excited at the possibilty to consciously explore this world, but after a couple of failed attempts i lost motivation. This time though, im not stoping until i've learned to LD at will. I've hade a few DILDs but i really want to learn to WILD since it seems like a much more reliable option. Also the times when i've had DILDs i've been stuck in ''dream retard mode'' , being unable to think clearly, and i'm hoping that without the lapse in consciousness i can maintain a more productive state of mind.

When i attempt WILD i usually think i'm able to relax my body to the point of me not being able to feel it anymore, and able to keep my mind fully aware but i dont fall asleep no matter how long I lay there. Any1 got any tips that might help with this?

Also i've read that smoking weed is bad for lucid dreaming but does any one know exactly how bad, like if it is just a bit harder or straight up impossible?
