Dreaming on aderall and Weed

i was wondering if smoking pot will effect your chances of lucid dreaming severely or can it still be done if you smoke pot in the day? and would taking aderall before bed help focus on your dreams?

One of my good friends smokes pot every night before he goes to bed. We were talking about lucid dreaming one night and he told me that since he started smoking pot he can't even remember any of his normal dreams. It's almost like pot took his ability to recall his dreams down to 0. So even if he did lucid dream, he couldn't remember it. As for the Aderall, I'm not sure.

Weed screws short term memory - so work it out.

My mate said the same thing, smokes weed every day and cant remember his dreams at all. I smoke weed like once a month ( by once I will smoke it like 3 times in one week of the month) and I have 0 dream recall as well.

When I was a frequent smoker, I could never remember my dreams. But once I stopped, about 3 weeks later, I could remember them again. Between getting stoned & lucidity, I pick the latter. In most cases, it's way more fun.

i smoke it every day and recently i have beem having a lucid dream almost every few days, and i can almost always remember my dreams! However i smoke a relatively small amount before i go to bed, quite often if i have had a night of heavier smoking i can't remember my dreams either.

I smoke almost every day. And it helps my situation with dreaming ALOT.

When I started smoking frequently my nightmares and vivid memories of my dreams started to fade (this is what i personally needed as i could not stand having very vivid dreams anymore.. because it was making me very down and exhausted) I now remember my dreams, but don't have VERY strong ones that make me feel crappy the next day / week.

When i don't smoke weed at night, my dreams are incredibly vivid, and very easy to lucid dream. When I do smoke at night, I wake up the next day feeling a lot rested, and I don’t have any emotions from the dreams themselves.

I'm pretty sure it will depend on the person, and how strong they have been dreaming for their whole life.

look,

I smoked everyday for 2 years. EVERY DAY! I didn't recall a dream the entire time. It was sad. I stopped smoking and two weeks later I had my very first lucid dream. I flew like Neo or superman or Goku. I prefer Goku :) but what I'm saying is that lucid dreaming is far better then pot and I've had some darn good pot, but I've had far better lucid dreams. I have grown more as a person in the last 6 weeks then I have in the last 2 years. Drugs aren't worth it man. You don't need aderall or other "drugs" to have lucid dreams. You only need the will to learn to become lucid.

also pot impedes your body's ability to enter R.E.M.; REM is where you dream, no REM no dreams.

P.S. sober for 6 weeks first lucid in the first 2 weeks and I've had 12 Lucid Dreams since quitting

it will be pretty much impossible to fall asleep if you take adderall, so to me that seems out of the question. your probably not going to remember any dreams if you go to bed high from weed, however i would say that smoking weed after you wake up after you record your dreams in a journal has its benefits. i use it to reflect on my dreams and get another perspective on them.

either way you never need drugs to lucid dream. if they help you, then it's probably a temporary fix. i almost had my first WILD on a psychedelic, long before i had enough practice to do it while sober. i got scared right before i entered my dream and stopped for the day. took me at least a week to get anywhere after that.

all in all, practice is the best thing you can do :)

Had a friend that said he used weed so he could see something from a different angle and in the end he smoked so much and seen so many angles that he was always confused :lol:

I smoke frequently in highschool (every night ) and I couldnt remember a single dream I had and it seems that its the same for almost everyone based on the other replies so I would say no to using mary jane or any other mind altering substance when it comes to trying to be lucid

if you smoke weed you will not remember your dreams. what I do is I will smoke for about a week everyday.. then stop for a week or 2 and during that time my dreams are a lot more vivid and easy to get lucid!

Not correct. You can remember your dreams after smoking weed. Lucid dreaming is just a lot harder. You don't need to smoke for a week straight for that to happen either. I believe that even just 2 days with smoking will work. And you will see results in your dreams change within the next day even.

i have had some very vivid dreams while high from weed, so it IS possible i assure you(especially if you specifically train to remember the dreams you have while high). just because most people hardly dream while going to bed high doesn't mean weed always hinders dreams from happening. the question i'm wondering is if anybody's managed to dream or even fall asleep with aderall still strongly in effect without using more drugs than aderall or weed(any more drugs added to the equation might skew the dream).

I used to smoke a lot when I was younger and I remember telling people during that time that I didn't think I dreamed at all. I couldn't remember anything. I stopped smoking and my life improved greatly. It's not worth it at all.

With adderall, I can go to sleep easily because I actually have ADHD and need it. But I don't really think it affects my dreams at all. I can't even remember them sometimes.

You want something that will help? Go to the local pharmacy.

Buy some melatonin. You don't need a lot. Cut the pill into quarters or eights. A 3mg or 5 mg will do. Take before bed.

You're welcome. ;)

PS only do this once or twice a week. Or it will stop having its effect bc (I think) your body will just stop producing the melatonin you need to REM bc it sees you are getting it from a different source. Never read that anywhere, but I know how to body works and I know melatonin is produced by the pineal gland in our heads to regulate the sleep/awake cycles to it sounds pretty accurate. :)

I think smoking pot is not good habit, It can effect lots of problems.

Ill tell you this, I smoke alot of weed. I'm in a strange situation where I came into alot of money so I just buy spirutal books, alot of good weed, and food. I smoke every day, pretty much all day. At first I didn't remember my dreams but now I smoke as soon as I wake up Intill 8 pm. I stop after 8 pm and fall asleep around 9 or 10. I lucid dream every night, as well as remembering non lucid dreams. Some nights I have multiple lucid dreams. All while staying very very very high! :D so yes it's very possible!

I was actually really excited to see this topic, because it happens to be my favorite combination of recreational drugs. I think that alot of the reaction to any mind altering substance is unique to each individual, awake or asleep. For me, it IS very hard to fall asleep with adderall in your system, but it CAN be done. Me personally, I have to be in a completely quite environment with NO outward stimulation in order to sleep...and I do dream, almost always lucidly, in this state.... Personally I've found that it is easier to GAIN lucidity, but that it isn't as deep or REAL as when I'm "sober". Both have their benefits, guess it depends on what your goal is. Would love to discuss this further, and know if you've experimented at all what your experiences have been :) :)
