I've never heard that.
Do you believe that they will? Belief is the first step to becoming lucid. Practice including recognizing yor dreamsigns and reality checks is the second step. :)Quote:

Nuts or Lucid Pills, probably are equally effective.Quote:

yadeyadeyadeya. Alot of theorising of wether nuts may or may not help: I actually just was reading wikipedia on Tryptophane and found out that Nuts, Bananas and Milk are excellent sources of Tryptophane.
And Tryptophane is the natural precursor of the neurotransmitters serotonine which partially regulates sleep. Serotonine makes us Happy, Energetic and more focussed/sharp, which is why when you're suffering from emotional depression you feel lifeless, miserable and sometimes very dissociated from reality/woozy/clouded and out of focus. So more Tryptophan means more resources to convert into Serotonine.
I can imagine that sleeping with a higher than average Serotonine level will cause you to have more vivid, memorable and linear dreams. So maybe this is worth some experimentation; Pre-load up with tryptophane rich foods like nuts before sleep.
Serotonin actually supresses REM sleep, but you may get more vivid and longer dreams later in the sleep cycle because of the REM rebound effect.Quote:

Alot of people have found help in the substance Choline, whereas I have found help in (rediculously small amounts of) Anti-Cholinergics found in the Flower who's name shall not be mentioned. This is because choline causes vivid dreams and anti-cholinergic substances surpress choline resulting, eventually, in a massive choline rebound: The most maniacal nightmares I've had since childhood.
Maybe I might try experimenting with a mix of Tryptophan (Supplements, bananas, nuts, milk), Anti-cholinergic Flower who's name shall not be mentioned-Tea and Mild MAO-inhibitors like those found in Chocolat(cacao) and Passionflower right before bedtime.
