Hi Torry, welcome to DV, i also write down my dreams in my dream journal pad and then re-type it out on here,i sometimes find that when i re-write it again on here it heps things that i had forgotten to pop into my head again so in that case i like having 2. Not sure about the banana thing but i have heard it said that it helps as the potassium helps in some way but like i said not entirley sure, alot say apple juice but i just take a supplement called 5HTP, nothing bad, can get from holland and barretts just helps with sleep and i have been taking it for nearly 2 weeks now and have had 1 lucid and one near in that time, i have however been trying to lucid for years, i naturally go into WILD in the middle of my sleep but most of the time i get faulse awakenings and i hate those lol, so 5HTP is not a magic pill that will make it happen almost immediatly, you need time, patience and confidence, plus different things work differently with each person ,you just have to experiment and find the right one for you, anyways, good luck
