Given up on natural methods... is B6 right for me?

**lucidpersian** · 03-01-2011 03:07 AM

Was thinking of going to Walmart to buy some vitamin B6.
Anyone have any other suggestions? some african dream root lol.

I must mention, I'm a high schooler without a car or paypal or amazon account to buy some of these exotic stuff. Everything's gonna have to be on the down low at some local store.

Now: are there any other suggestions that people have found useful? I've been trying to LD for months but with school and waking up @ 5 every morning to run 10 miles a day @ cross country has made it hard.

I'm looking into the novadreamer or a homemade lucid dream mask. Any suggestions are appreciated

Heres my suggestion, go to a gas station and get a cash card. You can buy like 50$ mastercard giftcards and use those to buy online.

I highly recommend B6. I've only had 4-5 actual lucid dreams--meaning that I became lucid, was able to change the dream to an extent, and stay asleep while doing it--and all of those dreams took place on nights that I took B6. I've had a few lucid-esque dreams, where I knew, to some extent, that I was dreaming, and even those happened on nights that I took B6.

With that said, I'm not sure if we ever really know how much is placebo, and how much is an actual effect of the ingested substance. If I'm taking B6, it's because I intend to have a lucid dream--the intent might be the only thing that really matters.

Two or three years ago, I became really interested in lucid dreaming. For about two months I thought about it constantly. I read about it, thought about it during the day, did "dream checks," took different pills, etc. I moved, life got in the way, and I forgot about it. Between then and now, I haven't had a single lucid dream. I've occasionally tried the same pills, and I've thought about it on and off, but nothing has happened. I think B6 is helpful, but the most important thing, in my opinion, is really thinking about it and just making it happen. In a sense, it's a big psychological/life hurdle. I see it as a good way to face any issues that you have in a fearless, straightforward manner. Honestly, that's why I recently became interested in it again. For me, I see controlling your dreams, or even making a strong attempt at doing so, as attacking any obscure, enigmatic stress and neurosis you may have with a relatively uncommon level of temerity. I think I kind of regressed as a person when I forgot about it and quit trying.
