hey, I'm new to the forum. Looking forward to participating.

I have had strong dreaming for most of my life. Crippling nightmares as a child caused a dubius relationship with dreams. Over time that changed to an appreciation of dream-fear and the not-scary dreams.

Mostly my dreams aren't scary the way they were as a kid. Mine are kinda like random movie moments played out in front of me. Like DC's are putting on acting school performances for me. Rarely does any of it make much sense to me.

Anyway, the reason for the title of the thread is I took my usual dream enhancement stack before bed last night and went to bed looking forward to sleeping in. I let the snooze alarm play a few times before stopping it. An hour after I reset the alarm I woke up due to excess light from the window. I put on a sleep mask and was able to sleep soundly for another hour. All during the morning hours I was having decent dreams and several of them. When I woke, I was feeling very good and went out on my scooter to enjoy the fabulous weather we had today. Suddenly I'm in a state that John C Lily would describe as +24. Think of it as highly relaxed yet focused state with a hint of euphoria. A headache later in the day made that fade and a redbull reduced it as well but it feels like it's still there. It was a fantastic day. I can only hope to recreate that feeling in the future and more reliably.
