I read a few things about a neurotransmitter within our body called "Serotonin",a high level of Serotonin. makes you have vivid dreams and lucid dreams,they say Serotonin is depleted by REM sleep(and dreams) and naturally restored by dreamless sleep,this might explain for why I never have a lucid after the day I get lucid. |

I am currently taking melatonin suppliments, which is supposed to help regulate sleep cycles. I noticed that my dream time has increased and everything is much more vivid. |

it makes alot of sense because the better I feel the more lucid dreams I have. I have tyroid deseise and when my thyroid levels get low my seritonin is the first to decrease....I know when my thyroid is off because I get really depressed....which has been lately, and also no lucid dreams lately.....I'm going to get my blood workup today because I hate feeling this way. |

Its true a low Serotonin level can cause depression,but a to high level can cause mania and schizofrenia,so its tricky,you need to find the perfect balance of both,and mabey a little more of Serotonin to increase dream rate/vividness |

High levels of serotonin causing vivid dreams seems consistent with people who take antidepressants (which regulate the levels of serotonin in the brain), many have reported experiencing much more vivid dreams than before taking the drug. |

I find your lack of faith disturbing...
*sighs* to bad im not depressed. |

Ok people I dont recommend to much Serotonin...I took alot of food that increase Serotonin,over the day I ate 4 bananas,3 eggs and 1 1/2 liter milk and some candy before bedtime and I think I got overdosis because in the waking world is was being all scared of even the smallest sound..I got all paranoid.. |

hmm I duno if eating foods that help produce seratonin will actually do so, to a degree that would be dangerous. |

It is true that much lack of serotonin very often is common to people who has a depression. |

Are you dreaming?

|
Good information Pandragon. |
|
Serotonin levels are closely linked to Melatonin levels |

Are you dreaming?
It was related to sleeping posture, but i literally had very few dreams, now i have alot, because i remembered the way i used to sleep. Call it dream recall, or dreaming more, whatever, it just works. |

Serotonin is not available in pill form as it cannot pass the blood brain barrier easily(you would have to take massive levels of it for any effect). It is contained in foods with high carbohydrates and also fatty foods which is why people get hooked on the horrible fast food which has no nutrition value but can raise serotonin levels and make you happy. |
