[Mattorix]

So today i got my self some melatonin i got 100 capsules of 5mg. Im taking them because i have trouble falling asleep knowing i need to wake up at a certain time the next morning so my doc told me it's a minor form of insomnia. Now for my real question. i know Melatonin has been reported too help Lucid Dreaming but i'd really like to hear input from you guys as i've only had 3 Lucid Dreams and 2 of them have been while i've been trying. What i really want to know is how it will most likely affect my dreams Thanks in advance!

Ok I too take melatonin because I also have some sleeping problems, but when I take melatonin my dreams are WACKED OUT CRAZY!!! and I mean crazy, but with melatonin sometimes I remember them and some times I dont, because melatonin is a natural chemical in your brain that causes sleep so taking a few gives you extra, but its different for everyone my friend tok two and he said all it did was make him drowsy so anyway just try it and then see how your sleep was. Hope this helped a little happy dreaming

I love melatonin. Here's proof it works well for lucid dreaming: Dead cats back to life, New powers, and a DC's congradulations. DREAM NONDREAM LUCID Just a side note here, I took around 60 mg of melatonin to cause REM rebound, BUT I DO NOT CONDONE TAKING SUCH A LARGE DOSE. I woke up in the dream in my friend Tom's house, in his room on his second floor. His room was set up differently, but I could tell it was his room. I was sitting on the floor with his door open, when his cat Suzie walked up. Suzie was an old black cat, and she died of liquid flooding her chest last year, so it was odd to see her. I was petting her when my other friends, Julia and Bob showed up and were talking to me. Julia said hi to me, and was carrying Mouse, and greeted Suzie, their other cat, as she walked up. Her brother Bob walked up and started talking about World of Warcraft, "Two people just joined the raid, do you want to watch." I stood up and looked at Julia. Her room looked different and nonsensical for how her house is normally set up. For example, on her wall that normally faces her father's office, there was a window behind her and as I focused on her, she became more detailed as did the window behind her. I became lucid at once and declared "I'm dreaming!" and got the biggest grin on my face. I rushed down their stairs to their kitchen, remembering to rub my hands to stabilize the dream as I ran down, where I met my friend Lindsay. She said hi and waved at me, and she was eating something. I launched a lightning bolt out of my right hand and she said, "Good job on that by the way!" Referring to my power. I then focused and managed to do a Kamehameha, but could only do it by chanting the words. My energy when doing the Kamehameha was a blue, wispy sort of fire, as opposed to just an orb of energy. I then focused on my left hand and shot fire forth from it. The fire was almost a super imposed version of fire, and was almost cartoony. I then raised my hands above my head and started to charge a spirit bomb, and as I did the light caused the unrealistic shadows you'd see in an anime from a large energy mass. Like how everything is black outlines because of the bright lights. As I charged, the "camera" in my dream pulled out and started to roll pre episode credits, like for a cartoon, but sadly they made no sense. I then opened my eyes to launch the spirit bomb, but when I opened my eyes, I woke myself up.

I wish I could get melatonin around here. :/ I was able to try it a few times when a friend of mine brought back a few pills from a trip to the us. They really helped me fall asleep, which is something I had a lot of trouble with when I had early classes the next day.

My personal feeling is that any natural substance that helps you sleep, ergo dream, can only help the potential of lucid dreams. After all, deep sleep is the stuff dreams are made of.
