Hello,

My name is John and when I was a child (almost 20years ago) I often had nightmares and only rarely I had joyful dreams. I remember myself saying one day I had enough of it and I didn't want to dream anymore, the odd thing is since that day I do not recall even dreaming. I know I obviously dream since everyone does but I would like to explore my mind in my dreams and the first step to this seems to me to get dreaming, and actually recalling little things. I have to say that just sometimes I actually do remember dreaming (or is it fantasizing?), the only times this happens is after I press my snooze button for 10 minutes for just some resting. I'm just not sure if I'm getting back to a state of sleep and thus dreaming or if I'm just fantasizing while I'm awake and resting. I cannot find alot of information about people who have the same as me, so I was hoping I could get help here. I sometimes use 5-HTP for faster serotonin recovery (in doses ranging from 100-200mg before bedtime) but even then I don't recall having dreams, while others recall dreaming extremely heavily on this supplement.

I'm open to all suggestions that can help me get on track with actually noticing I'm dreaming so I can go from there and explore my mind and train on lucid dreaming.

Thanks
