Up until last night, I've never had more than 1 lucid dream per night...but up until last night, I never took a zanax(spelling?).
My mom gave me one last night because I had worked a hard 8 hours (as an electrician) with only 4 hours of sleep the previous night. I knew zanax's would help me relax (as if I weren't tired already! and possibly achieve a WILD.
Well, I know it's really hard to do a WILD when you're going to sleep for the first time that night, but I gave it a shot anyway. Man did I come close....I would lose awareness, become part of my thoughts...begin to see whatever it was that I was thinking about, then I would snap back. I came so close several times before I said "screw it I'm just going to sleep".
I didn't know what effects the pill would have on my dreaming. I assumed I would sleep so heavily that I might not even remember a single dream. I woke up at 4:00 am (roughly 6 hours after I fell asleep) and not surprisingly, I didn't have a single clue as to what I dreamt about those 6 hours. I was like "Oh well, guess zanax's just knock you out too much".
After I fell back asleep though, I found myself on a school bus (I graduated already). I was like "I'M DREAMING!". So I stood up and started floating around the bus. People were giving me strange looks and I was just smiling at them. Then, I found myself in a school gym (timeskip) still lucid. All my school friends were there, and once again, I started floating. Then I started flying. They kept asking me how I was doing it, but I just smiled and kept flying. Then, I fell to the ground. All the sudden the dream began to fade. i looked at my hands to stabilize the dream, but my hands became wavery and distorted, and I woke up. It was a false awakening, but when I realized it was a FA, i woke up for real.
When I woke up, I stayed perfectly still and close my eyes. Almost immediately I was sucked into my own thoughts. They became clearer and clearer. I snapped back to the fact that I was actually lying in my bed, and I opened my eyes. But to my amazement, the room I was seeing was not my room. I was like "OMG I just WILD'ed". I tried to move, but my body was really heavy. I could see my hands in front of my face, but I could also feel my hands lying flat on the bed. I rolled trying to escape my real body, but I ended up rolling my real body and opening my real eyes.
After that, I couldn't reach that stage again because of my excitement....but...after I fell asleep, I found myself in another dream. Instantly I became lucid. I was on a dirt road with my family inside of this strange vehicle which we were using to chase these evil guys off our property. Unfortunately, I lost lucidity right after I achieved it and fell back into my dream.
All in all, it was the craziest night for lucid dreaming I've ever had. It seems that zanax had some kind of effect on me which made becoming lucid easy, but keeping it hard. And even though I was lucid, it was a low level of lucidity...I guess because of deep, relaxed state I was in made staying alert very difficult. Also note that I drank 2 cups of coffee one hour before I went to sleep and I smoked weed (like nearly every other day lol).
After I told my mom about these lucid dreams, she said she would give me a half of another zanax pill (last night I took a whole one). Hopefully, half a pill will still allow me to become lucid, but without the low level of lucidity I experienced last night.
I'll let yall know how it goes.
