      This somehow reminds me of this thread:
      Does marijuana significantly effect dream recall?
      http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8120

      Somebody mentioned there that you can learn to remember dreams in that altered state of bodychemestry (forgot what it was exactly).
      It's just the exactly other way...

      I'm very bad at remebering dreams. I always know/feel that there were 2 or 4 dreams and have the feeling if I'd think long enough I could remember at least one detail. Most times that is just a person, tool (like an ectroshocker) or some landscape but nomore.

      What if I start drinking tea now (I'd love a cup before sleeping) and can't remember anything at all anymore without the tea?
      I guess getting better with tea will also help remembering them without tea. But who knows...

      I'll try tea for some days

      By the way, what would happen if tea works for someone and he also kicks some weed before bedtime ? Just curious.

      What if it's not mint tea, but normal liptons tea? And what if its iced liptons tea, not warm liptons tea? We should find out the ingredients to both, and see what really makes mint tea work!!!!

      i think its all in your head


      just keep telling yourself that you will remember your dreams


      its basically about priority if you make remembering yourdreams #1 you WILL REMEMBER them

      There seems to be some interesting news on mint...

      I've recently been reading up about the effects of melatonin and growth hormone on aging, and sleep.
      And it seems quite plausible that melatonin and growth hormone are linked.
      And we all know that melatonin 'fixes' our sleep patterns
      And we know that most of these hormones are released from the pituitary, which is governed by the hypothalamus

      What I didn't expect was this:
      Alan Hirsch. M.D., Director of the Smell and Taste Research Foundation in Chicago has shown that several fragrances - including peppermint - exert a highly stimulating effect on the hypothalamus of the brain. Peppermint seems to act specifically on the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus, which regulates many basic drives, including the sense of satiety (the feeling of fullness generated by eating). During his clinical trials, the aroma of peppermint generated dramatic reductions in weight in people who had previously been unsuccessful in any sort of weight reduction program
      [/b]
      So you might have some scientific basis for real effects of your mint tea after all
      Except this indicates better eating habits, and not dream recall or the other stuff necessarily
      The fact that it affects you hypothalamus interests me, in itself, as the hypothalamus is also involved in sleep patterns and aging effects
      But then again, melatonin is also meant for sleep patterns, and not dreams or recall either...

      Just thought this was interesting. I might be wrong about some of it, and I haven't finished researching. Call it preliminary

      [Edit]
      and this...
      Vitamin B-6, magnesium and zinc are also pivotal in maintaining optimal pituitary function.[/b]
      So there we have our link to both Vit B6 *and* zinc. Interesting, methinks

      [Edit2]
      Another link I seem to have come out to, is the broad bean, or horse bean. Eating about 100g of broad beans every now and again - pod and all
      Anyone want to experiment?

      smelly

      I learned somewhere that smell is linked to memory so maybe mint smelling candles with work as well. I think that sented candles would help with past regression in LDing. I think that I will try a experiment with that. Ill post the results later and maybe a lab wright up ohh my science teacher would be so proud.
