I started this thread over in the Attaining Lucidity forum, but this might be a better place for it.

DISCLAIMER: This thread is for the discussion of using marijuana to attain lucidity via WILD. Please, do not derail the thread by posting your idea of the pros and cons of marijuana usage (unless related to lucid dreaming). I certainly don't want to hear your ideas on why marijuana is bad (or good even) and I doubt others do too. I will ask any mod I can find to delete your post (if they will) if you decide to do this so as to keep the thread clean for research purposes. Now without further ado...


Basically, WILD is the crowning jewel of lucid dreaming. It requires a state of relaxation that is difficult for most people to attain (I know it is for me). Knowing that, it is also known that marijuana can relax you a great deal. Now, I think it is 100% possible to achieve a lucid dream through a WILD with the aid of marijuana. It is accepted that marijuana affects dream recall to the point of not being able to remember them. I think this is more that being high makes you forget short term, rather than the drug actually suppressing REM sleep.

However, what if we were able to go straight from awake to dreaming via WILD while high? I think there would be no worries we would forget since we are consciousness. I have no idea whether or not you would be high in the dream, but it's worth finding out I think.


So, for anyone who likes to smoke every now and then, I'd like you to give this a try. I think the easiest way is to smoke sometime in the afternoon and take a nap so you might reach REM easier. I suggest a format of the following:

How many hours since last slept:
How high were you (subjective&#33:
Were you able to attain sleep paralysis:
Were you able to attain lucid dreaming through a WILD:

So you might fill it in so:

How many hours since last slept: 6
How high were you (subjective&#33: 5 (being a middle high, 10 being the highest I've ever been, and 1 being practically basline)
Were you able to attain sleep paralysis: No
Were you able to attain lucid dreaming through a WILD: No


I suggest just trying it out every now and then if you plan on taking a nap after smoking. The only thing I see being a problem is a heightened sense of awareness while high, so SP might be very scary indeed.

Post your ideas on how to better the research and whether you tried it!
