Message Subject Experts in Lucid Dreaming: A Question

One more note on dream development, unlike our body which we can see the growth and progress in the mirror. We don't see the neural pathway development of any skill we learn but it is happening over time just like our muscles building over time.

Where we see the results is in the dream content. We see more dream recall, the details and fidelity of the dream state improve, the sensory-replay becomes rich and vivid, we start to become more self-aware and fears start to dissolve and dreams we want become more regular and natural.

I've seen some people go from the wildness of their subconscious with zero dream control, no self-awareness, sensory-perception issues and poor recall to Neo in the Matrix level control within 2-3 weeks of dream training so some adapt really fast, where others I've seen take slower to develop but get results along the way.

Savor each new result and improvement, that's the intrinsic reward of growth when you see your dreaming start to bloom into something you want with all those little gains becoming one solid dream epic.

I don't know if you have any experience in this area but I have heard that psychedelic compounds (mushrooms, LSD, etc.) 'develop' or I guess 'reopen' or 'stimulate' old, lesser used neural pathways in the brain. I will admit to having used these compounds but my lucid dreaming is trash. Although the following few nights I will wake up with 'profound' thoughts, those will slowly die away as I've had time away from the psychedelic. My dream recall has drastically dropped since smoking cannabis and I have been able to pick it back up when I don't smoke 2-3 hours before bed.

Are these different neural pathways than the ones used for dreams? The brain is capable of so much more than I think we can imagine so I wouldn't be surprised if there were millions with their own individual purpose, but I am surprised that my dream state has deteriorated despite taking substances that are claimed to help develop the brain. Any thoughts?

I'm far from an expert on the subject, hence the reason I made the thread but I can tell you from personal experience THC is detrimental to dreaming period. Which is unfortunate because I personally enjoy partaking in the Devil's Lettuce. As far as shrooms go I can't say. I haven't done those since I was a teen & I ain't in no hurry to try that crap again. But back to THC, if I don't smoke, my dreams are SUPER vivid. Nothing compared to what I'm trying to get back to but still a drastic difference none-the-less. Memory is probably the main factor there if I had to guess.

I find the dream suppression to be a blessing more than a detriment. It's hard to ever feel rested when the first thing after you wake up every morning it feels as if you've been running around doing who knows what all night... even if the specific details quickly fade from memory the general knowledge of the breadth of activities does not. Sometimes I could have a night of dreams that makes me feel refreshed upon awakening but more often than not it feels like I spend all night taming other people's out of control nightmares.
