      I found that NyQuil helps you be able to program your dreams, and that could lead to a lucid or just being able to dream about anything. This is how I discovered this. I was sick, so I purchased some NyQuil to help me sleep and relieve the symptoms. After reading the dosage instructions I took a drink, later while watching a movie "Pirates of the Carribean", I felt myself drifting into an alpha like state, I was deeply relaxed but still alert enough to understand what was going in the movie, I remember my last thought before I fell asleep, I was thinking about the time I was at the mall with a friend, and sense I made dream recall a habbit, I remembered everything after waking up about 15 minutes after. Thanks to the NyQuil I was still completely drowsy, After awakening. I decided to try some self hypnosis and said to myself three times "At the beach", without realizing a suddenly entered a theta state of deep sleep. And after awakening once again to a sound of a cannon from the movie I was watching, I remembered everything, from the thought to the end of the dream. I experimented with NyQuil many other times, and I get the same outcome. Then I stopped using NyQuil for awhile and this didn't continue. I guess some how perhaps NyQuil allows you to concentrate on one thought. Anyone else experiment with nyquil at all?

      honestly i dont like to take any kind of vitamin or pill to make me help LD better. i dont think its worth the risk of side effects and what not (nightmares). i'd much rather do it naturally. maybe use a chocolate bar

      I agree with Casualtie, you should really be careful using chemicals (certainly ones as intense as NyQuil) when attempting LDs. You might find yourself becoming dependent on them.

      What is NyQuil? Any collective name for it or another brand name?
      Is it like an Anti-histamine or a Hypnotic Sleep aid? Those make you really drowsy and supress REM-sleep.
      I wouldn't recommend taking such heavy duty medications. Only if you are REALLY in need of relief or if you are Insomniac for so long that you're about to totally freak out because you STILL can't sleep after soooo long. Otherwise, suffer a little from disease or restlessness: It'll teach you how to deal with it without the help of Medication. Over-medicate yourself and you'll become reliant on meds to help you sleep, endure pain or disease..etc Don't let your body get lazy and dependant on external help.

      But I have an anti-histamine cough syrup, Promethazine, which I only take in VERY rare cases of REALLY bad insomnia.

      the only ingrediant in NyQuil that would do anything psychoactive is DXM, which is a hallucinogenic. basically, its how people trip off of cough syrup. wouldnt recommend it, but if you're going to use DXM in low doses (youd have to take a couple hundred mg to trip) because it apprently helps you visualize/dream, then i'd reccomend you find something that doesnt also have acepemetiphen (sp) in it, which is tylenol and is horrible for your liver/kidney's. i know there are cough gels that only have dxm as an active ingredient. and this is only if you're GOING to do it, do it healthily.

      Correct spelling is acetaminophen. DXM stands for dextromorphan. Recreational (which is what this use qualifies as) guidelines can be found here: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/dxm.shtml
