Alcohol - If i drink it wipes out my dreams entirely. Very little recall and disturbed sleep. For me a total good nights sleep killer. |

My LDing record, if you want to hear about it, is about 4 WILDs, 1 DEILD, and the rest DILDs.

No dream goals at the moment...just flying and letting stuff happen is kinda fun, and it's hard to motivate myself to try LDing lately.
While alcohol is harmful to my dream recall most of the time, about half of all the LDs I have ever had were because I went to sleep wasted. What often happens to me when I go to sleep drunk is that I wake up after five to six hours because I'm dehydrated, drink water, and then go back to sleep. Sometimes I have trouble falling back asleep but when I do I often have a WBTB. I'm not sure if any of y'all have experienced this too but going to bed drunk, when done correctly, has been the single most effective method for me when it comes to inducing LD's. |

Maaan I've been having drowsy allergy tablets for the last couple of weeks before bed. The number of dreams I could recall fell in correlation with this. I'll take them in the morning from now on and see what happens. |

Reality Check
Spoiler for lucid dream goals:
I think so... In some hours I have a party with Mexican people. Is my closest neighbor's birthday, so I will drink 5-6 beers and then announce I'm leaving, then I will drink like 8-9 "last beers" with the excuse we are door to door neighbors and just walk 20 feet and fall in bed So drunk lucidity for me tonight, for sure |

Pot makes DR almost impossible for me. |

when the full realization that I am dreaming washes
over me its like the gift of a superpower or a new world where anything is possible
Man, I am so glad I found this thread. I have been taking OTC sleeping pills off and on for the past 5 years. In particular I have been taking like 1 pill every night for the past year. While I get to sleep pretty quick, and usually sleep for 8+ hours, I notice I get really crappy quality sleep. I am tired and groggy when I wake up and most of the morning. I also don't seem to remember many dreams and those I do remember are just short disconnected pieces. After reading this thread I decided to not take the sleeping pills last night. At the moment I was taking Advil PM which has 38mg of Diphenhydramine citrate. I also didn't take the 3mg of Melatonin I usually take and took 200mg of L-Theanine instead. Let me just say the results were dramatic. |

That's not a 100% stopper for me . I've had different outcomes of dreaming with alcohol . I remember having a 3-4day fest of drinking and loosing the recall completely , but there were also times when after some amount of drinks my dreams just went crazy . Not only so vivid but i don't know how even to describe them . They seemed to be beyond my fantasy(which i believe is really wide) . So alco overall is not so good for dreaming , but you may have different outcomes. |
