That's awesome! My dreams are never that vivid anymore.

I've heard that heavy smokers don't really dream at all, but when I smoke I tend to have extremely long and vivid dreams.

I'm not there yet, I definitely dream sometimes it's just foggy most of the time and if I don't write it down when I wake up, which is almost always the case, I dont remember it . But if anyone can confirm I'd like to know, I've heard that everyone dreams every night, the only variation is who can remember what.

Yes, everyone dreams. Remembering them is a skill you have to develop. Keeping a dream journal is a good start. Taking note of feelings, recurring images, people, etc etc. Setting mental intentions as you're falling asleep is a good thing to do as well. Could be anything. As simple as one image or symbol, as complex as a whole scenario. Basically fantasizing your way off to sleep.

My dreams are much more vivid and memorable when I haven't been smoking. I rarely remember dreams when I am smoking. I still have them but the memory of what happened disappears as soon as I wake up.

I rarely have black sleeps, substances or not. Only when I'm dead exhausted tired do I have no dream recall.

I was interested in lucid dreaming for a while, but I'm a pussy when it comes to the thought of having sleep paralysis attacks. I've had some minor experience with those and they suck, so I guess on some level I consciously try to drift off and not remember anything when I'm falling asleep.

I dunno that lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis are related, are they?

The way to lucid dreaming is def by being really good at remembering. The more you remember, the more aware you become while you're dreaming that you ARE dreaming. Because you'll pick up on recurring symbols, feelings, places, people, etc. and that's when you'll be like "Oh shit!" and then get control of things.

The first time it happens it's definitely really scary/overwhelming. Like the lights suddenly turn off; everything disappears and goes black or out of focus. It's like you've never been more aware of your surroundings so to cope it all just fades away. That's when you either wake up, or turn the lights on and bring it all back into focus. It's pretty cool!

Who am I to disagree?

Sleep paralysis I’m sure is the explanation of 99% of alien encounters

Idk if there's a connection but I feel like for me it's a fine line between fairies, and losing a little bit of control, and demons. I feel like everytime I've had sleep paralysis I was fucking around with my dreams. Even as a kid.

You may be right in a way. I think based on what is actually happening in the brain during lucid dream states and sleep paralysis. I can't explain my understanding of it without Googling to fill the gaps, and I don't feel like doing that right now.
