Hi all,

this is what happended last night

Last night I had this dream where some person (fellt like a friend/aquintance) was in my bedroom when i walked in. He looked as if he had drunk way TOO much because he was puking all over the room (looked a bit like the excorcist).

I was getting really angry and kicked/dragged his ass around, my mum came in and I started to complain to her about his person. I looked at him again and then I knew something was wrong with the whole scene. The bedroom was my bedroom, but different so I asked myself is this a dream? Not sure of it I touched the wall but I could not go through it then I thought maybe if I walk into the wall.... Well did it and I went right through it .

The scene went black and I ended up somewhere else but I could only hold one for what felt like a couple of seconds...Woke up and the rest of the night had some short vivid dreams

I also had a similar dream. In witch I was standing alone in a warehouse type building. The fact that I was standing alone. Made me do a reality check. So I asked myself "Am I dreaming?" and it clicked. I was dreaming. No longer then 3 seconds later I awoke .

I heard this is common among beginner Lucid dreamers, and is a definite sign that you are close to full on lucidity.

Long Live Lucid

Well I'm not a beginner but someone who is starting trying to achieve LDs/OBE again after a very long period of using drugs

I used to smoke pot/hashish because It allowed me to fall asleep when I had personal problems. After a time i got used to it but lately I deceided to stop smoking and now the dreams, LDs and hopefully OBEs are returning

Respect to you, Eric G.

Well...I've done a lot of reading about the effects of Marijuana on LD's, and from what I gather, there are none, in fact, I've read from more than a few people that Marijuana before bed actually increases activity in REM state thus perhaps increading change/length of LD's.

What can I say, I'm a pot head....I have smoked pot for at least 5 years every single day, in large quantities heh.....

I'm new to LD'ing, and so I cannot say for sure if this effects u, but I've had one very long LD *my first one...well, was long for me, being my first one*, and soon after a very short one.

But as I keep a dream journal, my dreams are getting more vivid and longer every single day.

Perhaps its all in the mind set? If you tell yourself pot can hinder your LD performance, than I'm sure it will, just as if you tell yourself pot can help your performance, I'm sure it will also.


I'm pro pot, always have been, its in my culture...It's not for everyone, that I realize, but how it can effect your dreams, and your LD is something I find interesting, and eager to learn more on.

If nothing else, I'll be the pot head on this board, who will let you know if it effects MY ld's, in time, once I get better lol.

Mmm hashish....I smoke a lil of that too heh.

I think

But I see it this way. Ten years ago I made a desicion to smoke weed/hashish.

In those ten years I tried to quit smokin' a couple of and i did not succeed.

Now (couple weeks ago) I've made a firm desicion te really stop for more than one reason. Most importants is that i want to remember my dreams and I want to have LD's and OBE 's in the future again.

At the moment i als feel better. When smoking my consiousness felt "numb" My head is much clearer now and my inspiration (to design websites animation etc) seems to come back.

And I also want to work out again... physically I feel much better now. I feel like woken up.

cheers,

Well there are some strange FX I had when smoking weed years ago.

I mean I had these strange experiences between waking and sleeping. Hearing voices, seeing light, body paralyzed stuff like that, but I NEVER succeeded to get out or have a LD.

I also felt (many times) as if there was a presence in the room. Sometimes it felt sexually, sometimes very positive and sometimes very negative BUT I was always aware that I was still in my body, maybe it was some kinda trance state, I really dont know

Although I deceided to stop smoking, I am certainly not against it each his/her owns

Had some great ideas when smoking, too bad I lost them all!

cheers
