So I have been having a difficult time remembering my dreams for quite some time now. Last night I decided to take some vit B6 after having read this thread the other day. Guess what. I had almost my usually normal dream depth that I used to have. Strong, realistic, full color, looooong, emotional... ect ect.

I had taken 1 - 200mg Pyridoxine Hydrochloride timed release tablet about 20 minutes before bed. I am going to continue the rest of this week doing the same. Then possibly upping my dose next week. Anyone know of the dose range of B6? Like how much is too much?

Well, I tried them, but I felt sweaty and overstimulated when using them (nonsmoker here).
They are also expensive and rather unhealthy. And they didn't really work.

Galantamine is a better solution and a new Galantamine supplier popped up recently in Europe: http://vividream.co.uk/
DMAE UK supplier: http://www.bulkpowders.co.uk/dmae-powder.html

But what I learned from taking loads of supplements for lucid dreaming: they won't do the job for you, it's only a supplement. No practice, no lucid dreaming. Just popping some supplements ended up in disappointment and less EURs in my wallet.

At one point in my life, I was unable to have a non-lucid dream. I tried! I wished for my dreams to STOP being lucid Since then I've been wary of trying lucid dreaming again. This time I'm ready. Given that previous experience, I'm pretty sure getting into lucid dreaming again would be effortless... If only I could get into dreaming of any kind first.

Are you smoking cannabis? Afaik, everybody dreams, but not everyone remembers or is aware. 420 is a dream killer, try DMAE (cheap) or galantamine (expensive) for a better dream recall, stop 420 if you indulge and keep a dream journal. Daily meditation is said to facilitate lucid dreams & OBEs as well.
If you are weird as me, try to sleep 3-4 sleep cycles á 90min, then wake up, pop 400-600 mgs of ibuprofen and go to bed immediately. Near lucidity/weird dreams guaranteed (if you are me). Ibu seems to have an effect on the REM phase.

I know everyone moves their eyes rapidly at some point every night. i don't know if everyone actually dreams. i'm almost convinced i don't dream, there's nothing to suggest that I am. my dreaming has always been a little weird. even when I saw dreams, they were often strange and not in the ways you'd think. for example, here's my first and only lucid dreaming experience...

Stephen LaBerge (born 1947) is a psychophysiologist and a leader in the scientific study of lucid dreaming. In 1967 he received his Bachelor's Degree in mathematics. He began researching lucid dreaming for his Ph.D. in Psychophysiology at Stanford University, which he received in 1980.[1]

I have access to propranolol and I have plenty of b vitamin supplements (including b6). I also have cigarettes. Reading the thread, do you think I could get a stronger effect than b6 alone if I took b6 and propranolol and smoked a cigarette before bed?

6. Propranolol (Pr)
Propranolol is a prescription drug characterized as a non-selective adrenergic beta
blocking substance. It is typically used for the treatment of hypertension,
migraines, and stage fright. Propranolol is classified as a lipophilic drug and can
easily penetrate the blood brain barrier. It has also been shown to significantly
inhibit the secretion of melatonin from the pineal gland at low doses (10 - 40mg)
[4] and can lead to depletion of catecholamines within the brain if large or chronic
doses are used [8]. The dosage of propranolol used for all tests supporting this
paper was 40mg.

Experimental Investigation – Test Subject
A male, 40 years old, experienced in the techniques of lucid dreaming, was used
for this analysis. The subject was well accustomed to using supplements, under controlled
conditions, for the purpose of lucid dream induction. The subject has no reported
illnesses (mental or physical) or history of illness. The subject does not smoke and
abstained from drinking alcohol for a period of at least 6 hours prior to each experiment.

Experimental Investigation – Method
On each experimental night, the subject slept naturally for approximately 3.5 to
4.5 hours before the testing period. The subject was awakened and then ingested the
prescribed supplements for that night’s test along with approximately 6oz of water. The
subject then immediately returned to bed and targeted falling to sleep approximately 45
minutes after the ingestion of the supplements. He reported the results by filling out a
detailed questionnaire the following morning which included rankings on dream
vividness, recall, lucidity, quality of sleep, and so on. The results were then compiled at
the end of the study.

Galantamine resulted in lucid dreams when used either alone or in combination
with nicotine. When galantamine was combined with propranolol, a significantly higher
success rate was reported.

Bupropion and propranolol both resulted in a small increase in odds of becoming
lucid when used individually.

A 100% success rate was noted
for the amino acid blend as well as the galantamine/propranolol combination. See Table 1
for a complete a summary of results.

It's progress?

Drugs in the LSD family, including psilocybin and tryptamines actually stimulate REM sleep (in doses small enough to allow sleep), leading to longer REM periods. We do not recommend the use of drugs without proper guidance nor do we urge the breaking of laws.

Physiological recordings like electroencephalograms (EEG) have shown that lucid dreams begin in the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of sleep.[35] In fact, multiple studies led by LaBerge have only shown lucid dreams to occur in the REM stage.

* High-amplitude bursts of low-frequency/theta activity have also been recorded in the human hippocampus in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (Brazier, 1968; Freemon and Walter, 1970; Giaquinto, 1973; Moiseeva and Aleksanyan, 1976; Mann et al., 1997; Yu et al., 1997; Bódizs et al., 2001; Cantero et al., 2003) and LSD given to humans immediately prior to (Toyoda, 1964; Muzio et al., 1966) or during sleep (Torda, 1968) has been shown to promote REM sleep and dreaming.

* The overlapping phenomenology of REM sleep, early and acute psychosis, the temporal lobe aura and the hallucinogenic drug state.

* LSD given immediately prior to or during sleep promotes REM sleep.
