I wasn't sure exactly where a question like this ought to go, but I am still a noob here, so I figured I'd stick it in this section 
I'm 23 and was recently diagnosed with ADHD, which in retrospect I have obviously had my entire life (how nobody else like parents or teachers ever picked up on it and it ended up being my therapist that did, I don't know). I'm highly distractible/tangential and the same goes for my dream-mind. I just started taking a medication for it IRL, which is supposed to help me focus better and realize more quickly when I've gotten off-track mentally. It's only been a few days so nothing has changed yet but I'm hopeful.
My question is, does anyone think that being on the medication IRL will help my dream-mind to focus better too? Logically it kind of makes sense to me that way - my dream-mind is still my mind, just removed of my physical senses, but still the same mind.
I could be wrong.. but holy damn, if I could be less distractible in my dreams, it seems like that would help a LOT with sustaining lucidity, focusing on lucid tasks, paying attention to my surroundings, etc. The thought of it makes me even more excited about LDing than I already am! A lot of times in my dreams I feel as though I am "wrapped up" in what's going on inside my mind and don't TRULY notice or appreciate my surroundings unless I'm making a conscious effort to do so, and even then I usually don't sustain it for long, which makes sense because that's how I am IRL too.
Anybody have any ideas on this?
Thanks!
