Thread: Should I use 5htp or melatonin to lucid dream?

I don't know this first hand, but I'm not going to risk it lol

I'm not into supplements, I prefer my lucid dreams to come naturally even if it takes longer than having to rely on supplements. At most, I take vitamin B complex tablets occasionally, for instance when I feel my dream recall has decreased, but other than that, nothing.

This has always been my stance as well, although I have reached a dry spell and am tempted to experiment and see what works.

If you DO choose to take supplements, don't slack on any of your natural LD work (if you do RC's, etc.). Let it be just that...a supplementation as opposed to being dependent on it.

Of course, keeping up with RCing is crucial, supplements won't get you lucid by themselves. I only occasionally take vitamins to give my dream recall a little boost, but my lucid-related work is always there.

RC's can be helpful for people, but I don't do those. I've been doing ADA for a while now and find RC's quite annoying.
