How would Lucid Dreams unaided by supplements differ from Lucid ones with supplement aid ?

I havent really heard or seen any supplements that help with Lucid Dreaming per say.

There are a few supplements [both fabricated, and natural] which besides their primary purpose, are known to affect; dreams, vividness, consciousness, recall, awareness, etc.

Vitamin B6 : Which is found in apple juice, eggs, grain, etc.. This will help with the things listed above. You can also find supplements of this vitamin at any store.

I went to the local grocery store and bought a 100mg - 100 Tablet bottle for $3.99 - So it's relatively cheap..

The only downside to taking this supplement alone, is B6 [like it says above] has effects which boost awareness, alertness, consciousness, etc.. So it can in a minor form give you energy and/or keep you awake. ... to counter this effect, most people take it with a Melatonin supplement.

Melatonin is a natural occurring chemical in the brain which when released, make you tired/drowsy. Melatonin is the counter part of Serotonin, but that is irrelevant.

The typical Lucid Dreamer takes somewhere around [100mg B6 + 3mg Melatonin] about an 30 before going to sleep. The quantity varies from person to person of course.

If you do more research on this site, you will find all sorts of posts and topics discussing what you just asked. I simply discussed the most popular supplement(s) used by Lucid Dreamers.

Hope this helped... ~Siph~
