Nice on the WILDs! I see this sparked a conversation so here's my two cents. I understand your reservation about using galantamine and agree it should be limited. I have used it myself when I wasn't all that proficient in lucid dreaming. I recalled a lot of dreams but only had 1 lucid out of the few days I tried it. Galantamine alone will not bring a lucid its merely an aid. But it's not as simple as chugging apple juice every night either. That stuff is pretty potent and should be used with caution. I have been thinking about keeping it around myself but for the opposite reason. To BREAK a dry spell. I don't like tough tortillas.

I've been using a small bit of caffeine to become lucid the past week. While I realize that it's good to not rely on it too heavily, I also do not see anything wrong with it. It still requires a great deal of awareness to become lucid regardless of what you put in your body. It's still YOU that's doing it. All this other stuff are just aids just like any technique or mantra. Still, I appreciate playing it safe and see the wisdom in doing things naturally.
