medication stopped my lucid dreams - Propranolol -
I've lucid dreamed for most of my life, and so have most of my family. I've experimented with controlling my dreams a little bit when I was young, but for the most part I've just let them happen.
I probably have a lucid dream once or twice a week that I can clearly remember. during these dreaming, I know that I'm dreaming and can change things if I want to, although I don't tend to take the lucid dreaming very far just moving past boring things the dream wants me to do or asking to do something slightly different. I'd say that most nights I'm aware that I'm dreaming but just don't care much about the dream its self and just go back into dreaming normally.
Recently, I started taking Propranolol Hydrochloride 40 mg twice daily for migraines. Since starting the medication, my lucid dreams completely stopped. I'm talking about the wildest things happening in my dreams, and I wasn't realsin that I was dreaming at all.
It was really strange I felt like id lost apart of my life. all these hours where I was conscious and thinking were suddenly gone.
I stopped the medication, and about a week later I had my first lucid dream again.
Has anyone else experienced this? Also, is there anyone else who doesn't actively try to lucid dream but naturally does it anyway?
