Thread: smoking before bed

I read somewhere that smoking before bed increases dream intensity and I might try it and see if this is true.

smoking a bowl......or what?

yeah , i was gonna reply to this thread but didnt have a clue which one is it.

well i smoke cigarettes and i dont see a difference

Might it be the nicotin?

It would be cool if smoking enhanced dream intensity.. But can you give us a link or something to the place where you read it?

Smoking is bad >.>

It hurts you.

You shouldn't smoke.

(I'm saying this all from a non-Lucid-wanting position. Please ignore my highly un-technical terms.)

well, I dont know about cigs, but the nicotine patches... good lord... I have never had such crazy dreams

I am telling you all this cause i trust your judgement...

Please do not do this unless you REALLY know what you are doing..


I should not say this.. (it might provoke)
..either way...

Chew; Salvia Divinorum.. Do not smoke it!

Chew.. It is sublingual...

And be sure to look me up?

I'm going to bump this thread because I think it's the closest thing to a "tobaccco & dreaming" thread that exists and I don't want to start a new one about something that's so similar.

I was VERY curious about this, seeing as I had quit tobacco and noticed for sure a decline in my dreaming, both in frequency & intensity. I was still toking but that was more of a hinderance than a help, to be sure.

Well I finally put 2 and 2 together and came to the realization (at least for me) that toking and dreaming cannot coexist. Every time I would have even one toke my dreaming would suffer dramatically. Much as I love my tokes I can't have it sabotaging my dreaming efforts, I am putting WAY too much effort into this thing.

So, I NEVER want to EVER go back to smoking cigarettes, it was a real bastard of a battle just to get off the fucking things in the first place. I KNOW that it's a slippery slope to go down to start having one "once in a while" or that sort of thing. Also, I'm not real big on the whole "patch" idea, they are WAY too expensive and I never liked the effect from them at all in the first place.

So, after carefull consideration, this is my solution: I bought a pack of Colt cigars. I will not have more than 1 a night, ever. As I said before I DO NOT want to go back to being a smoker, but I still like to occasionally smoke (I know that this is contradictory) and I wanted to see if it would have any effect on my dreaming.

Last night before bed I smoked about 3/4 of one (boy, was my head spinning!) and the results were obvious. I had 2 of the most vivid (but sadly non-lucid) dreams that I have had in a long, long time. Also, I woke up with the memory STRONG in my mind, not just a vague recollection of BOTH dreams. I journaled them first thing in the morning.

I consider this experiment a success. I now know that for me at least there is a connection between nicotine and dreaming. I plan to do the same again tonight to see if the effect is repeated, if not maybe I'll have to just keep it to an occasional thing.



I'm STILL awaiting the arrival of my galantamine, so when that comes I'll try them together. See if that improves things.

Dude, if you were addicted to cigarettes, you CANNOT, I repeat CANNOT EVER go back to moderatly using them. You will soon find yourself where you were before. You should quit them man. Just my advice, sorry if you don't like it. But I've seen many many people try this. With alcohol, heroin, cigs, coke, anything you can think of. It never worked and they are either still addicted, or quit altogether.


Luckily for me, I don't get addicted!!! To anything!! (trust me, I know for sure)

Nicotine is an agonist for acetylcholine, meaning it enter the brain and act as acetylcholine.

However smoking won't do it, if you want to use it to trigger LD you'll need to put on a nicotine patch before bed.
