The cheapest lucid dream supplement you can buy.

[CharlesCamp]

Hi everyone, this is my first post here, but it's not my first experience with lucid dreaming. I have been lucid dreaming for over 12 years. I recently found a strong supplement to help with LD's. A friend of mine told me about weird, vivd dreams after drinking a herbal tea called Tension Tamer. You can buy this tea at most any supermarket. I picked up some about two weeks ago, and it really works. I drink it every night now, and it works like a charm, for only a few bucks.

Sounds nice! There's sometimes a problem with becoming too dependent on a supplement, but hey, as long as it works and you can afford it, right!

[CharlesCamp]

Nothing can really make you have lucid dreams automatically, you still need to have the skill of recognizing that you are dreaming. Sort of like steroids and baseball, lol. All the steroids in the world can't make you hit a fastball.

i'll buy some today. do you drink it like right before you go to bed?

http://www.celestialseasonings.com/p...tension-tamer] This what you're talking about? Ingredients: Eleuthero, peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, West Indian lemongrass, licorice, catnip, tilia flowers, natural lemon flavor with other natural flavors (contains soy lecithin), hops and Vitamins B6 and B12. I'm not sure which one of these in here would help improve dreams. I know B6 and B12 would, but I take those already, so... *shrug*

[CharlesCamp]

It works, thats all I can tell you. Drink before going to sleep. You will have really vivid and colorful dreams,and it's easy to go lucid. If it doesn't work for you then you only lose 4 dollars. I drink this tea every night and it works great for me. Tension Tamer is the best and cheapest supplement i've tried.

[JackALope2323]

I'm just saying... I'm one who always looks at the ingredients whenever taking anything that's supposed to have some sort of effect. And from my research, you can get the same effect from drinking this tea as you can from just taking B6 and B12 supplements. But, you know, that's just like, my opinion, man.

[CharlesCamp]

Maybe so, but some of these ingredients are natural beta blockers. Beta blockers keep the heart rate low, to avoid the fight or flight you sometimes get in really exciting dreams. Everyone knows what happens when a dream gets too intense, you wake up and miss the good parts. That's why supplements like valerian root, and chamomile give you longer dreams, or i should say they give ME longer dreams. Also these kinds of supplements make the dream more stable and i am less likely to wake up during a lucid dream because i tried to change too much, or fly to much. B6 and B12 don't do that, i've tried them both. B6 and B12 do nothing to curb fight or flight. but thanks for your input.

i just bought some online because it isn't sold locally. i'll boomark this thread and respond with my experience in a few days

[cygnus]

But, you know, that's just like, my opinion, man. the Jackalope abides. EDIT: i was thinking about the 'curbing the fight/flight reaction' bit. that's interesting and i can see why it could help.

[WanderingMind]

Sounds interesting. I wouldn't mind trying it out. Thank you.

[ah19]

Hey Charles - it hasn't arrived yet but I was wondering whether I should drink it before going to bed or during a WBTB.. maybe both ? thanks

[CharlesCamp]

You can experiment with both. Try before bed first. I know for me my most active dreaming period after around 4:30am, and i usually drink my tea at midnight.

[CharlesCamp]

yep, fight for flight is what wakes you up...increased heart rate, blood pressure, and adrenalin is not meant for the dreamworld. Your body will kick itself out of the dream.

Oh, I have some gingerbread tea from Celestial Seasonings. I'll head to the store tonight and look for Tension Tamer, thanks~

I actually came across this thread last night and figured I would give it a shot since I have a store (Walmart sells this stuff in case anyone is wondering) pretty much right down the street from me that sells it. So I went and picked up a box last night which was only like $4 and I came home and drank a big cup of tea about an hour before bed. I woke up in the middle of the night (about 4 hours after falling asleep,) didn't remember any dreams, had to go to the bathroom, and proceeded to go back to bed. When I woke up in the morning I instantly remembered my previous dream and it was a very vivid dream, which hasn't happened to me in years, literally. This was only my first experience with this tea though so I'm not saying it was the tea that did this but I'm sure it had to have something to do with it. I'll keep drinking it every night before bed and see how it goes.

[ah19]

Nice! FatBox you should try having some when you wake up in the middle of the night as well. It is absorbed quickly into your system.

[kookyinc]

... West Indian lemongrass, licorice, catnip, tilia flowers... ... lol. Anyway, the B6 and B12 probably help. Also maybe that no fight/flight thing. However, I doubt it has enough B6 and B12 to have a profound effect. I call mild placebo before anyone gets too hyped. I'm not saying definitely and completely, but I think some of this might be from the expectation that this tea works Jus' sayin'. Try to be objective with this.

[CharlesCamp]

I can't speak for everyone's dreams, but my dream period is always in the early morning, between 3:30am to 7:30am. So when i drink it at midnight, it's in my system the rest of the night. Try changing up from 1 bag to 2 bags if you don't get the effect you are looking for. I use 2 bags in my big coffee cup every night, and my dreams are a circus of colors and awesomeness.

Try to be objective with this. Ok.. well first b6 RDA is measured in micrograms so i'm sure this thing has enough. also if you're not even going to try it then why post? we've already got several people who are saying that drinking this increases their vividness and you a vivid dream makes it easier to become lucid. who cares if it doesn't cause the vividness but if drinking it makes you have vivid dreams then great!

Try to be objective with this. I'm being as objective as I can, I actually didn't expect the tea to do much at all. Not even sure if it was the tea that made me remember my dream so well, but I haven't remembered a dream like that in years...

I just wanted to remind everyone to be objective in their trials.

[ah19]

what trial dude? people have said it works for them so let them use it.. theyre not taking it for your benefit

I never wake from a lucid due excitement, I can control my feelings. I had a lucid where I destroyed the earth, the earth was sinking and I had to fly to the moon before it melted (you might access this dream in my DJ - Task of the Year) I had to force awakening because the dream was so long that I was afraid to miss detail... without herbs, pills or other stuff.... you can do it without the herbs.... you do not need them.

Anyway, if anyone wants to try it, come back and post on this thread. I am done posting on this thread as it seems to have turned into a platform for grandstanding.
