Alright, so I'm a toker, simple as that. Or, at least I cut back on the toking because I'm very aware of the effects it has on dream recall. Even though I had my first lucid dream while I was in my stage of smoking, I don't see how it would help me out so I just decided to go cold turkey, for two reasons.

1. Obviously to improve my dream recall. I haven't smoked in over a week but the strange thing is my recall has been fluctuating. It's really weird and I thought it would significantly improve over the course of this week, but I've felt like I've been trying too hard with lucid dreaming and maybe that's what's holding me back. Thinking too much, losing sleep, loss of confidence, etc. so I'll see what happens, I'm gonna play around with what's wrong with the rise and fall of my recall. But let's move on to the next reason.

2. I've gone cold turkey before when I knew I needed to stop and after about 2-3 weeks I suffered from withdrawals. I think some of you know what these are and where I might be going with this. Vivid dreams. Now it could be possible that my dream recall is shotty right now due to the fact that I haven't smoked in nearly a week and a half and I may be showing symptoms, such as sleeplessness but that really isn't an issue. What I do experience is crazy, wild, vivid dreams that nearly seem real, and this was long before lucid dreaming entered my mind.

I wanted to experiment with this idea that not smoking for maybe another week or two can lead to a sudden, temporary, exponential increase in dream recall due to the withdrawals and possibly induce some lucid dreams, and as I stop smoking altogether, just leads to an even better recall than I had while smoking. My recall was above average while I was smoking so why can't it be exceptionally well after I just leave it altogether.

Tell me what you think and I definitely wanna hear from all you lucid stoners that might be on the forum whether you still toke now or maybe you don't. What's your experience with bud and dream recall?
