Thread: Cannabis-Induced-Lucid-Dreaming ( OH YEA )

I'm sceptical about that melatonin-and-marijuana effecting dreaming thing... Where was this documented? I'm not challenging it as I can vouch for both of the drugs having at least some effect on dreaming; I just always like seeing comprehensive analysis of things like that.

Your experience sounds very interesting, and of course, fun. Once when I was very high on LSA (not LSD), I for some reason decided I wanted to sleep soon, so I dropped a melatonin pill and I almost completely lost control of my body and the hallucinations pretty much doubled. It was overpowering but really interesting. Not only was it almost instant, but I also never expected melatonin to have any effect with something like LSA.

wow, some of these anti-weed posts and "weed is addicting" posts are rediculous. Most of the people saying this, probably don't smoke, or never have smoked lol

Anyway, I've been smoking going on 4 or 5 years. I've stopped smoking since last January, so I haven't had any weed going on 4 months or so now.

I won't start back smoking again until after the 20th, but i definitely believe weed can give you lucid dreams, once you've "woken up" from the sleeping state everyone else is in and you start to pay attention to the world. How can you expect to be lucid in dreams if you aren't lucid in waking life.

i smoke pretty much once everyweekend and its hard for me to get a lucid dream , but i have to admit as soon as you get hight lay down and close ur eyes , when ur heads spinning it feels very similar when ur transitioning into a dream

Ok now I'm DEFINITELY convinced that weed gives you lucid dreams

The key is visualization. You have to visualize yourself into a lucid dream with cannabis. This is probably the most important part because if you don't visualize anything and keep your senses aware you will just go unconscious like normally.

Here is something i posted in another thread about cannabis.

I smoked yesterday. And i think I almost had a cannabis-induced lucid dream. I believe weed can "induce" hypnagogic hallucinations...I say this because this is the second time i've had HH from weed which might have something to do with the 4,000% increase in melatonin. The first time the HH was light and uncontrollable........this time it was more detailed and i could control it.

Anything you focus on while high from weed is increased tenfold. I layed down and listened to the fan and it sounded louder more, clear and lucid. Then when I closed my eyes I visualized something, it was like it instantly appeared in the form of HH. Visualizing when high on weed isn't like sober visuzliing.....it seemed more lucid.

After that ( while eyes were still closed ), I just tried to go to sleep and there was a little box in my field-of-view with moving images....it started to get bigger ..I just observed it, but i can't remember what it was. But i DO know it was just a bunch of random and spontaneous stuff.....AND my eyes was moving around fast as I watched it....so this made me think I was in REM.

I'm going to start taking melatonin supplements again and will probally smoke again this weekend. All this makes me realize how UNlucid I am in waking life. Walking around lost in thought

Also, if you smoke cannabis make sure you take your time. I think you have to get "really" high for HH to appear..... and once you are this high you might experience anxiety or extreme paranoia.

The first time i got HH from weed i was extremely paranoid and scared..almost to the point where I thought i was literally going crazy/ skitzophrenic. You have to breathe and relax and let the visualization commence. The second time was MUCH better...there was still some anxiety/paranoia but nowhere near as much as the first time.

Also my tolerance for weed is really low...i can make a $5 of mid-grade last a whole week and some change.

If you are a heavy smoker, you may need to smoke a LOT more ( maybe even using hashish )...i don't advice smoking a lot...not like everyday all day. It's going to run up your seratonin levels...melatonin levels and everything else.

Every since I had that last experienced...i believe weed helps my ADD..which i didn't think I had until i notice i zone-out a lot while sober..with weed i can pay attention to the outside world more, because it enhances perception.

It's funny how we're are trying to induce lucid dreams through something natural like cannabis, while the others are trying to use 9volt batteries, and wires and shit.

Interesting thread, interesting read. I'm a daily toker myself and i must say the times I've gone to bed monged out'a my face i get HH i think (images i cant control racing through my mind) which i love cus it's like watching t.v as you go to sleep Anyways i'm well up for helping with research so will post back shortly.

As Katt Williams says, 'It's just a plant. It just grows like that, and if you should so happen to set it on fire....there are some effects'

Peace

I've been thinking about this a lot lately but the problem is it makes me sleep in too deep which makes it difficult to remember your dreams. but I have read before that people who smoke alot for a long time and then suddenly stop, have a lot of vivid dreams. I figure if you utilize a few simple LD techniques it can be taken advantage of. but of course my problem is i like to toke anyway but at least for me it is more of a honderance than a bonus to achieving lucid dreams. I was just thinking it would be nice if i could turn it into an advantage rather than a disadvantage. But i think there is a loophole in there to make it work. But even from what i've read in this forum, it seems more like you are talking about hypnogogic images. I need to do more research and self experimentations with and I will get back to you. Becuase what I'm thinking of is more like a workable technique. Kind of like waking up early morning staying up for 90 minutes and going back to bed. what i realize is it is all anout being a light sleeper and unfortunately weed has just the opposite effect. However I think there is a way around it. So if anyone has a substantial technique plz let us know otherwise lets burry our heads in the sand and come up with something.


You there is this technique the yogis are supposed to use where they don't fall asleep but simply close their eyes and tell themselves they are asleep and it really helps like if you haven't had much sleep and you just sit on a chair and just close your eyes and say "I am asleep" repeatedly. if anyone is interested why don't you take this meditation and just try it in different variations and see what works and plz do share
