Recently my girlfriend and I quite smoking and we are using nicotine patches for nicotine replacement therapy. The patches are giving us both the side affect of having very vivid dreams. I'd like to start by saying do not use nicotine patches for the purpose of lucid dreaming because nicotine is addictive. However, if you are prescribed them then it will be a good time to do a lot of high quality journaling.

I have gotten lucid dreams a few times from the boost in vividness. However, I lose stability often and it turns into DEILD chains of short lucids. I actually have been preferring the non lucid dreams because they are long at I get very invested in the narratives.
