Thread: I can't think during my dreams

This may be true with some supplements/some people, but it's not a universal truth. I started taking GABA(gamma-amino-butyric-acid), and it helped he have my first lucid dream, as long as you don't become dependent on them, they can be a great jumping off point, you learn the feeling of lucidity, and with more experience it becomes easier to replicate that feeling yourself. I almost never take GABA now, as I'm having 2-3 lucids a week naturally, but if I do take it on a WBTB attempt I am guaranteed a lucid dream.

EDIT: just wanted to add, keeping a dream journal is not necessary, it is possible to have a few lucids per week without one, probably more. If you have a Lucid dream I would definitely recommend writing it down though, as this will "solidify" the memory in your mind.
