I know they say it's okay in small amounts, and I believe them. But they put small amounts in water, then you get small
amounts in toothpaste and small amounts in food and small amounts in whatever else they put it in. They never take in to account
the multiple sources.
Actually they do take in to account the multiple sources of flouride.
<<<Used to work for an environmental engineering firm.
When it doesn't get below 60F at night...in winter...this impacts my lucid dreaming.
And all other dreaming for that matter.
You didn't even spell it right so I'm not going to take your word for it,.
I doubt they take in to account how long fluoride takes to break down either.
My guess is it's gonna build up over time, and it already is since we've been adding it to the water for decades.
Silly me, even I make spelling mistakes.
Yeah, they account for lifetime exposure also. There are so many environmental projects that discuss the impact of FLUORIDE that I can't even begin to name all the agencies that are concerned about it in some way.
View this PDF from the E.P.A. http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/rulesr...onsAnswers.pdf
And you can even find a lot of this info in Australia. Try your local library. They will have many publications on it, including Environmental Impact Statements for public review and comment.
It's been studied to death.
Happy brushing! :D
haha, okay. Well, I'm going to get non-fluoride toothpaste anyway!
No harm in reducing the amount I ingest. But I will check out of impact statements as well when I get a chance.
Guaranteed my local library doesn't have them though.... (it's a piece of shit). lol
i smoke everyday and i have no issues with becoming lucid or dream recall and remember my dreams almost every morning.Quote:

No worries, this is a non-issue for me. I feel every single person has the right to choose what makes them personally happy, and their teeth clean, as long as they aren't hurting someone else directly.Quote:

Alcohol, caffeine, being stressed out, etc. There are a lot of things that could reduce your chance of getting lucid. Honestly, though, it depends on the person. Some things on this list wouldn't affect their ability to get lucid at all. Other things would affect it.
I am half convince that Valerian root make me less likely to have LDs. I know it gives vivid strange dreams, but sometimes the strange dreams will not cause me to RC even though the dreams are way out there. I took it for the last 4 nights just to give it another try, and went from 1 to 2 LDs most nights to only 1 short one in the 4 days. Who knows, but I don't think I like the stuff.
malaria medication!!! makes it so easy to realize you are in a dream and then the second you realize it , you FREAKING WAKE UPP !!! most annoying thing ever.

gid vid about FLORIDE
Impatience- often leads to stress. Big no no
When my mind is running like crazy thinking about anything too heavy, even if it's lucid dreaming. This results in very light sleeping, with vague dreams. A good amount of meditation before bed helps a ton. By that I mean I think about practically nothing for like an hour before bed, except for what I am doing and where I am.
The temperature, if it's too high I tend to roll over a lot and disturb the covers. It's generally a good idea to be slightly chilly, but just enough so that it isn't uncomfortable.
The masturbation thing isn't a big problem if your doing wake back to bed. If your not up for a good 10-20 minutes, your mind won't want to lucid dream at all. All it will want to do is sleep.
If your having trouble falling asleep fast after a WBTB, this usually comes back to temperature or covers being in awkward positions for me. Also sitting awake thinking, like the first point I made, will keep you awake, this is basically what stress does. The key is to kind of let your right brain, (images, feelings) run untamed, but keep your left (analytical, reasoning, judging) brain inactive.
Thanks for this, I've only just got into meditation, but never thought about it helping recall. I shall have to try this :)Quote:

For me coffee and caffeinated drinks simmer me down. I've always had ADHD, but I haven't ever taken medication for it because I find it to be a cop out. However coffee helps me focus, slows me down and let's me think clearly. I've been drinking it for years and i've got quite a tolerance to it so I have came close to overdosing on caffeine products (Not a good thing for your liver), but thankfully I don't drink or smoke so i'm not so worried about any real negative effects.
I would recommend everyone to stop smoking if you're drinking coffee. Very, very bad for your health especially since it effects your Bronchial arteries. You're not able to take in enough oxygen fast enough since the cigarettes slow down your lungs a ton. It's like putting an enormous turbo charger on a car and having it spool a massive amount of psi in an engine that can't handle it. Your heart will be damaged later in your life.
As for other people drinking caffeine it really depends on what you're drinking caffeine with. If you're extremely caffeine sensitive you should only have around 8oz of black coffee a day and around 16oz of green tea or any other caffeinated tea products. Tea is really great for recalling dreams for me because they have tons of antioxidants which cleanse your body and mind. Exercising + Caffeine + Healthy diet isn't going to affect your lucid dreams in a negative way usually. In fact it should promote them if your sleeping habits are good too. Many of the times i've had lucid dreams were when I didn't really expect them. Had a small wild after drinking caffeine. Had a dild while I drank at a party and went to sleep.
We're all different so one thing might not work for another much like lucid dreaming techniques. Hope I was a little informative.
No wonder I've been really struggling to have a lucid dream....Quote:
