      if I have the supplements, will I need a lucid dreaming induction device?

      Hello, I have purchased all the supplements recommended in book the Advanced Lucid Dreaming - The Power of Supplements, such as galantamine + choline etc.

      In addition to all this, will I still need a lucid dream induction device? Or will the supplements alone easily allow be to become lucid?

      Thanks

      and if I do need one, what is the cheapest and easiest lucid dream induction device I can use?

      Honestly, you don't need any of it. Using it now while you're (probably?) inexperienced will give you the impression that you cannot dream lucidly without it. I think a better solution would be to stick with reality checks and consistent dream journalism. One technique (that I have yet to master) that I've been practicing for about 6 weeks is all day awareness and self reflection reality checks, and recently I've been seeing the results.

      One thing you have to remember is that this isn't a skill that will come with a few days or by buying some pills and a sleeping mask; if you don't have the self awareness to use those products, they'll seem useless to you and you'll (most likely, again, I don't know how experienced you are) lose hope and fall out of the habits like I did almost a year ago.

      A couple of things I would recommend reading on this forum are the dream views academy, more specifically sivason's dream yoga class. (Dream Yoga (Sivason)) While this is a topic that takes dedication, reading through the lessons and people's responses have helped my self awareness immensely. While I have yet to incorporate the lessons into my daily life, I have noticed improvements in the vividness and lucidity within my dreams, even though I haven't been having lucid dreams on a more frequent scale than around once a week; but again, in due time; in due time.

      Still, reading around the forum and working in various aspects of techniques that you can work into your daily life would be greatly helpful.

      Supplements and devices are just an aid. They may help you become lucid easier. But if you don't know how to become lucid, they will just get you in the state from which is easier to become lucid, but you have to make the transition yourself and you need to know how to realize you dreaming and all that stuff.

      So supplements and devices by themselvs will not get you lucid. You need to read tutorials, practice RCs, mantras and daytime awareness.

      Hope this helps. Happy dreams
