Vitamins to take to help with lucid dreaming?

I've heard that certain vitamins can help with lucid dreaming. What I DON'T want are vitamins that will make my dreams more vivid. I don't want my dreams to start becoming more vivid until I've learned to control them, because vivid dreams have the potential to be much more frightening.

So basically, I want vitamins that'll help me lucid dream without making my dreams more vivid. And if it's impossible to find a vitamin that accomplishes this, I'd prefer one that increases the vividity of my dreams as little as possible while still increasing the lucidity.

Sort of an oddly specific request.

I don't know of any vitamins that might increase your chances of becoming lucid without having a possible effect on the dream content itself.

Vitamin b6 is known to cause vivid dreams and nightmares, so I can at least tell you to stay away from that one. You don't need to take supplements for lucid dreaming, so if you're worried about having vivid dreams, my advice is to just not take anything at all (specifically for lucid dreaming I mean, taking vitamins in general is a good thing that is beneficial regardless).

Really though, you shouldn't let fear get in the way of possible progress. There's no reason to be frightened of your dreams.

Never knew about this, thank you for telling!

I have to take vitamin b sample pills every day. Now this might be an explanation to why my dreams are so utterly vivid

I love how vivid my dreams are, though.
