Marijuana And Dreams

[Zilyana]

Lately I've been experimenting with Marijuana and it's effect on my dream vividness and dream recall. From what I've researched the general consensus is that THC greatly slows down the REM process and makes it more difficult to recall dreams.

I generally smoke 2 hours before I go to bed, and make sure I get a solid 8-9 hours of sleep. From there, I wake myself up every 30 minutes and recall what dream I had, then go back to sleep and repeat the process two more times.

So far I've done this 6 or 7 times, and every single time I yield a much higher chance of becoming lucid, and I've even experienced sleep paralysis twice. As far as dream recall goes, it's about the same. It's worth noting that I might be considered a "natural" lucid dreamer, as in I have a few lucid dreams a month even though I don't practice reality checks during the day or formally log my dreams.

So Lucidipedia, what's your experience with marijuana and lucid dreaming?

No experience with weed whatsoever, but we've had a few topics about it in the past. I was going to tell you to use the search function, but that's directly in conflict with the forum code of conduct . So, here's a list:
