Is there a way to make my dreams more vivid?

[pusga]

I've heard of vitamins, but I already take some of those, and my dreams still look like Minecraft. I've tried looking at my hands and touching the enviromnent (sorry for bad spelling), but still nothing.

1. You could try anchoring your dreams into your emotions more. 2. As you become more aware of what you want in waking life, that'll flow into the dreamstate. 3. Also meditating might help push this along, as the mind becomes quiet the senses are heightened. Yea, I'm sounding fortune cookieish aren't I. Try a variety of methods and see what works. Oh, and I've noticed diet can play a part in dreaming. My dreams are crap after I've eaten a huge meal or a lot of red meat.... which is why I don't eat red meat anymore. However, what works for me may not work for you, so trial and error fellow dreamer... trial and error.

Vitamin B6 can help make dreams more vivid; foods like salmon are full of it, or you could always take supplements. You can also take a few moments every once in a while to simply observe and feel how real everything is around you. The attention you pay to the real world can transfer into your dreams and therefore you'll notice more details and subtleties.

Vitamin B6 Are there any common foods that contain high amounts of Vitamin B6, I mean... I don't eat salmon every meal

[Puffin]

A quick google search gave me this: Spoiler for long post lulz: Meat Vitamin B6 can be found in many common and versatile meats. Chicken, turkey, beef, and pork are all excellent sources of the nutrient. One serving of roasted chicken breast contains as much as 0.64mg of B6 and the same amount of turkey contains 0.54mg. Because meats are easy to incorporate into your diet through simple recipes and even snacks such as sandwiches, increasing your B6 intake by the consumption of meats is simple and effective. Fish As with meats, certain fish are rich in vitamin B6. Cod, salmon, halibut, trout, tuna and snapper are just some examples of fish which contain high levels of B6 and can form part of a healthy, balanced diet. Yellowfin tuna is one of the best dietary sources of vitamin B6 with 1.8mg found in a single serving. In addition to this, it is one of the healthiest sources of the nutrient. A serving of baked snapper or salmon contains 0.52mg and halibut contains 0.45mg. Vegetables Most vegetables typically contain reasonable levels of vitamin B6, but there are some vegetable powerhouses that are B6-rich. Bell peppers, spinach, baked potatoes (skin included), green peas, yams, broccoli, asparagus and turnip greens are all excellent sources of vitamin B6. These vegetables are also, for the most part, low in fat and contain other vitamins and nutrients that are essential for good health. Nuts and Seeds Peanuts, sunflower seeds, cashews and hazelnuts, which contain 0.6mg of 6 per serving – are all good sources of vitamin B6 and can be eaten as snacks or added to popular recipes. Wholegrains and Bran Whole-wheat bread, cereals, bran and other wholegrains are rich in vitamin B6 and are probably already part of your daily diet. Wheat germ contains 3mg of vitamin B6 per 100g, making it one of the most valuable sources of the nutrient. Beans and Legumes Chickpeas, lentils and soybeans are just some examples of vitamin B6-rich beans and legumes. Kidney beans are another good source of the nutrient. By including a single serving of any of these foods with your meals, you can maintain your intake of vitamin B6 and lower the risk of experiencing B6 deficiency. Foods highest in vitamin B6 #1: Bran (Rice and Wheat) Crude rice and wheat bran are the foods with the most vitamin B6.

Practicing dream recall is an idea, but that's an obvious one isn't it? Fish is great for damaging your motor skills. Who does't love eating mercury and other oceanic poisons? Using glasses and verbal commands in LD's help with vividness. I've heard galantamine helps with memory support as well as lucid dreams and vivid non-lucids. As far as I can tell, the prescription and OTC pills are expensive. However; it's extracted from the bulbs of galanthus, or Snow Drops, which is cheap and easy to grow. ;D I'll experient with this eventually.

Actually last night I just had my first induced LD (been trying for about 2 weeks now). The only thing I did different yesterday was I drank a glass of apple juice before bed, and I had apple jacks for breakfast instead of the usual cookie crisp or rice crispies. This morning I looked on the label and noticed that apple jacks has vitamins b3 (niacin), b6, and b12 (25% daily value each). As for the dream, it didn't last very long since I'm a noob still, but it was quite vivid, I felt almost total control, and I was highly aware. Try apple juice and/or apple jacks before bed. I've also been taking niacin before bed over the past month and noticed my dreams are more wild and filled with twists and turns. Just crazy stuff. Not completely sure if it's the niacin or not. With lithium orotate I get really vivid and crazy dreams every time (might be hard to control though). Going to experiment some more later, but for now I'm going to try the apple juice and apple jacks again. I'll let you know if I get another LD tonight. Also, I noticed being in a location you're familiar with (such as your room, or a friend's house) makes it more vivid because you know and see all the details in your dream (like posters, pictures, carpet stains, a little crack in the wall, etc.). Try flying or teleporting to a location you're familiar with next time you LD.
