Dreammaxxing thread p2. Just ate a bunch of swiss cheese and some grapes. How do I maximize lucidity and control and shit from here? Is weed a bad idea?

Weed will stop you dreaming completely. Don't use weed.

Debateable. I think it varies, because I'm a stoner and I smoke before bed and my dreams are incredibly vivid and long like movies nearly every time. Only on rare occasion do I have no dreams and I don't think it's related. It probably varies per person and just how high you are but I haven't done enough proper in depth research into the subject.

Look up the many methods of reminding yourself you're asleep like making it a hobby to press your hand against doors (in dreams you'll phase through) or put a mark on your hand and get into the habit of looking at it (it won't be there in your dream)
Also start a dream journal if you haven't already. One of the most important parts of lucidity is being able to recognize common themes or landmarks.

And don't give up hope too soon. The beginning is the hardest part because you'll often achieve lucidity and immediately wake up because you get too excited. Just keep trying and you'll progressively get better at it
