Hey, thelegend, welcome to DV! I can't say I've ever heard of Lion's Mane before, but that's great that it helped you with recall. Maybe it has loads of B6 in it or something. I'll look it up later. |

So first off, I'm new to this site, so hello all. |

Thanks, I've done the B6 thing before, as well as mugwort, both work very well at making my dreams way more intense. Sometimes to the point of waking me up, which isn't ideal. But these past few months, it's more the recall I suppose, I seem to be able to remember hours of dreams for sometimes days afterwards. If anyone else decides to give it a try, I really hope they get the same results. |

So, you mean B6 vitamin helps with your memory, also recalling dreams? I don't know much about those vitamin supplements, I think I would prefer to look for some foodstuff wich provides it, but sounds as something interesting to try. |

You shouldn't take any supplement. I'm not saying they are bad or that they harm you. It's like you want to do 10 km daily and instead of running you take the taxi. When you become able to do it without any external help, you will accomplish more than just intense dreams and dream recall. |

The greatest capability of the universe is the incapability to not create
I'll have to disagree with the 'shouldn't take any supplement' comment. I referred to Lion's Mane as a supplement yes, but all it is is a naturally occurring mushroom in capsule form. Not taking something that nature offers us to enhance our lives, that's like saying, don't take vitamin C, the payoff of getting sick will be much greater than not getting sick. At least in my opinion, but I suppose it comes down to personal choice, just seems weird to tell others what they should and shouldn't do. I was just sharing my experience knowing that there are others out there who struggle with memory and look to ways to enhance it, naturally or otherwise. |

Hmm, and what about taking not just B6 but all B-vitamins, something like B-50 COMPLEX with choline ? |

Yes, quite possibly, but be careful with the Vitamin B complex, too much of certain Vitamin B's can be bad, unless you are lacking in them. |

Your body doesn't need any external material. Trust me. Unless you have a very severe conditions. like an advanced cancer or other advanced disease. Doing it by yourself will make you better. |

Thanks for that post! It was very timely, from my perspective, since I am strongly considering getting Lion's Mane. |

So ... is this the real universe, or is it just a preliminary study?
Supplements are replacements for stuff that should have been contained in food (or produced inside the body from food), but was not. They "supplement" the food. Therefore supplements should be considered alongside food. |

In my experience there is no substitute for intent, strong desire, and practice. Plus excellent sleep conditions and mindset (being well-rested, happy, not stressed or anxious). It's really difficult to sort out supplements that do and do not increase recall or affect dreaming, because of the overwhelming affect of intent and conditions/mindset -- so controlling for the placebo effect is all but impossible. |

I'm not missing it for a moment; you are talking about dreaming. But you explicitly stated: "Your body doesn't need any external material." And that is patently false, whether you are talking about life in general, or specifically about dreaming. |

I started taking it as well: 300 mg in the form of dried fruit body. It's the cheapest form I found on the internet (300 mg, 60 capsules, 17,30 €) from what seems a reputable source. From wiki: |

I hope you are staying away from herbal tea. Any herbal infusion is also technically a supplement, and exactly along the lines of what we're discussing here: a naturally-growing plant (or in this case fungus) that can have beneficial physiological or psychoactive effects when supplementing the basic diet. Coffee, tea, herbal infusions, and so forth fall into that category just as readily as lion's mane. So put down that cup of tea, before you violate your own principles! |

Hey, I don't doubt that you feel empowered by 'doing it by yourself', but to tell everyone what they should and shouldn't do is what I have the most issue with. You can't say that what I chose to do is wrong. It may not be right for you, but that doesn't mean the same applies to everyone. It's pushing personal beliefs on others. |
