This is just a theory I have been thinking about. I am wondering if lucid dreams might be caused by a magnesium deficiency. A lucid dream book I have says lucid dreamers have more active brain activity during dreaming than non-lucid dreamers. Another study found more gamma brainwaves in lucid dreamers. This is logical.

But my point is I started taking magnesium suppliments for health reasons a month or so ago. Since starting them I haven't had any lucid dreams. I have been sleeping better, feel better in the day, and have been having very vivid dreams, but no lucid ones. From what I have read, magnesium calms you, and a magnesium book I have says hyperexitablity and hyperactive brainwaves, poor sleep quality, awakening during sleep ect. are syptoms of magnesium deficiency.

Could it be that the reason some people lucid dream is because they may have a magnesium deficency?
