I would say its the caffeine, and it depends on your tolerance to it. I don't know much about this. |

I heard something about coffee being bad for lucid dreaming or dream recall, so I thought I'd check in too check if this were actually true. I've had instances that drinking coffee in the evening might have caused bad dream recall, but I wondered if this is always like that. |

I know of some people who are experimenting with Caffeine as a Lucid aid.These people are already addicted to caffeine. What they are doing, is depriving themselves of the caffeine, and putting themselves into withdrawal. |

Wouldn't drinking coffee before bed keep you awake? So, I can't imagine that it would be good for lucid dreaming or dream recall. |

My mom always has a good sleep after drinking coffee. Her blood pressure is low and it can be normalized by caffeine. So, reaction to coffee is dependent on physical features. |

caffeine can have both a positive and negative effect on sleep & lucid dreaming. If you are doing wild many people recommend you have some coffee or tea before, as this will keep you conscious longer. But with mild which requires you to fall asleep, not so much. |

ive always found that caffeine is too much for me and i drink it all the time about 6-7 cups a day. But i will say i heard that the same detrimental effects are credited to nicotine aswell and the experiment outline a few posts above can be tried wth cigarettes) |

I think it would have to do more of the individual. |

I was recently wondering about this. I usually don't drink much coffee at all, but we bought an espresso machine, so the last few weeks I've been having one a day, and correspondingly my recall and lucidity went to crud. The last 2 days I haven't drunk any coffee, and have been lucid on both nights. Coincidence? |

I find that caffeine actually increases my recall, in small doses. Like a coke before bed will give me crazy dreams, so I think it depends on the person. |

A large amount of caffeine before a nap gives me insane sleep paralysis. By insane I don't mean hallucinations, I mean it just lasts a really long time, probably like 3 minutes. |
