A lot has been said about vitamin B6 contributing to making dreams more vivid, and even being a help in reaching lucidity. Well, I tried last night.

The recommended daily does is 2mg. I took 150mg, and nothing happened. Dreams were no more or less vivid than usual (intensity and recall have been so-so lately), and I came nowhere near getting lucid.

In a few days I'll take the whole 300mg pill and see what happens (or I could just try an overdose of avocados , rich in B6 ). The chemist tells me that this is not risky (in the short term, in any case), as the body just eliminates whatever excess vitamins it happens to be carrying about.

I'm not a big fan of chemicals, but reading Huxley's Doors of Perception recently HAS given me an urge to do a bit of experimenting, even if it's very unlikely that a vitamin pill will have any effect close to that of Mescalin...
