I didn't get lucid but I had less than 7 hours of sleep anyway, so I wasn't expecting it.

In my prior post you may remember me pissing and moaning that I'd been having bad dream recall before my WBTB. Last night, I had 3 vivid dreams before the WBTB, one of them very long and movie-like. I'll have to post that in dream snippets.

One interesting effect was that after drinking the AJ, it took me a couple of minutes to fall asleep (whereas it usually takes 5-10 seconds.) It could be a simple matter of the high levels of fructose and, secondarily, glucose in the AJ getting the brain into sort of a primed state before sleep and making it more aware during dreaming. I really don't know, but it worked on me!

My protocol was one cup before bed, then one cup during WBTB. I was also paranoid and kinda brushed my teeth after each time I drank all that sugar, ha ha...

Many thanks to RareCola and paigeyemps for this idea! Amazing. Highly recommended to anyone who's curious, at least as an experiment.

Edit: There is no dancing apple, but there is a dancing you-know-what!
That's awesome, glad you had some luck with it! I'll have to go and read your dreams. You know, I've never actually tried drinking apple juice during a WBTB. I've stayed away from drinking anything during my WBTB as it seemed to actually kill my lucid success. Not sure why.

Oh, and here's your apple!
