Lucid Dreaming | Article about marijuana's effects on dreaming

I know from experience that marijuana, especially if I use it on a regular basis, wrecks my dreaming situation. I can't recall many dreams, I really struggle to have lucids, and I can't stay lucid for more than a few seconds if I am fortunate enough to even have a lucid dream. That is one of the reasons I haven't smoked pot in the last six months. According to this article, marijuana dims dream quality because it suppresses R.E.M. sleep.

On the other hand, if you smoke (eat, vaporize, etc.) pot frequently for a long period and then quit, your brain goes through a period of making up for lost time, and you have really vivid and tripped out dreams for a few weeks. I'm too much of an addict to play games with that, but it's what happens. However, after I end a long pot smoking period, it takes me at least six weeks to be able to have long lasting, high quality lucid dreams again.



I consider marijuana a major enemy of lucid dreaming.
