Yep, it was an awesome movie. * The more I thought about it afterwards, the more complex it became! lol *I'm getting the DVD next week so I can watch it again and again.

hahaha I searched "why are you wearing that silly man suit" in google and this was the second result lol

edit*
And to make thisd relevant, that propel stuff is really good, thought when I work out I just like water, but I just drink propel all the time I have 2 big 24 apcks in my garage lol, ill have to start drinking them before I go to sleep

Yeah, man. Down a propel like 15-30 mins before you go to bed, and set your mind to remembering your dream activity, which I'm sure you already do if you are an LD'r. And feel free to let us know if you notice a change like I have. Now the only different variable is, if you have alot of it, and you drink it everyday, the fact that you have so much b-6 in your may mean you are naturally experiencing denser dream activity than I am, cause I only end up drinking a couple of them a week. Hmm...Thats very possible.

First thing in the morning, I'm going to the drug store and buy some B-6... I'll test it out and see what happens.

Or it could simply be placebo.

Well.. partially it is.. partially it isn't. B-6 definetly plays around with the mind. Anything below 50mg is most likely just placebo effect.. but down 500mg and you WILL feel the effects the next day (a zombielike feeling). If you do have an LD with a good amount of it in your system, the dreams will be very very strange. But its not going to give you LD's every night.. even if you down 500mg or more. Another effect is that it'll make sleep lighter.

Remember at to high dosages it can give nerve damage.
There is a vitamin dosage list at DV somewhere..look it up!

Well it helps a bit is my experience but not a big deal.

For dream recall there are better methods then vit b6.

I'd like to update my post.

1. High dosages, all studies show the damage to be temporary. The high doses I took short-term were hit-and-miss, and included side effects the next day.

2. I've noticed that a smaller dose taken more long-term is MUCH more effective. From what i've heard a couple places, B6 increases seratonin production and since dreams burn seratonin, more seratonin is good. I take 50mg time-realeased twice a day. This past week I started it and the first 3 days, it did nothing. Then I started to have faint recall. Now my recall is very vivid. The only side effects I've had from this longer-term low dosage is better dream recall and daily memory.

Thats about it.. i'll keep you posted.

how much b6 is in propel

Well There is 25% of your daily recommened value in propel i mean.

In propel there is 25% Vitamin B6

The 25% is how much is in one bottle of your total daily value. So in other words drinking 4 bottles of propel will give you your daily recommened value of B6

4 cups of cereal also has 100% B6, im gonna try that tonight.

I've been taking 3mg melatonin almost every night, and 100mg B-6 tablets a couple of nights a week.
Wow.
Lol. Vivid dreams like a mofo. If I got more sleep, I'd probably not be so tired while jumping up for work that I'd have enough time to write down the ones I remember.
Heh...Guess thats what I gotta work on now.

I've been drinking this stuff for a long time and it just so happens to be loaded with vitamin b-6(200%) and b-12(195%). Those numbers are per serving * 4 servings in a bottle.

Tastes great too by the way. =)

try waking up in the middle of the night, and pop 2 multivitamins, and some ginsana for a lucid-brain supercharge.

recommended daily values are only based on the minimum for survival. something going beyond daily physical would seem to require more

Well your digestion system is just out totally shut down during the night, so that wouldn't really work

And about your other post: It's allmost impossible to overdose B6, you would have to take 2 grams. Taking 2 times the advised amount of B6 is still certainly heathly.

digestion slows but is not shut down

You could allso grind the pills and sniff them up

Or just half an hour before you went to bed, how long does B6 'work' anyway. I think kindof long doesn't it?

It should work in around 6-8 hours shouldn't it?- this is how fast it takes to digest it n' stuff. It could be quiker since they are so small.

Could omseone point me in the direction of some food containing vitamin b?

bananas
But you'd have to eat so many in order to get the same dosage as a pill, it would be pretty pointless.

Yeah I kind of noticed that too....

But those pills have like 50 times what you need not to feel crap n shit. But it's impossible to reach that with banana's, true =)

Guess I will have to get sum pills anyway... Just makes me look like someone with aids : (

i take 200mg B6 tablets about an hour before i go to bed,and 200mg is 10,000% the daily percent and i have yet to notice any side effects other than really increased recall and vividness...i know recall at least two full length and highly detailed dreams a night...i also take it wtih 2-1mg melatonin sublingual tablets and those also help.

Last night I took
6mg melatonin
1.35g valerian root
800mg b6

At first it was easy to fall asleep but then about 2 hours later I woke up and I could not fall back asleep for about an hour and I woke up about 5 times after that. I also noticed dream recall very bad and I remember close to nothing from last night. I think I had to much of everything. Please do not call me crazy for taking these high doses, I was just experimenting and I researched a ton of each before taking. Tonight I am going to try 3mg melatonin, 900mg valerian, and 200mg b6.

What food is B6 naturally found in, if anything?
