How's this for "everything possible"?

OK, so last night I took everything I could, here's the list:

Twice my usual B6 (2x250mg)
12mg melatonin (4x3mg) haven't taken any for over a week.
3 pieces of dark chocolate
3 slices of real cheese
An extra V8 (so 2 for the day)
2 glasses of Splash (V8 fruit juice, mostly carrotjuice)

Then while I was on night-duty with the baby I watched the Saltcube video again from start to finish. (couldn't hurt, right?)

Then I swapped out my .mp3 for a .flac (I'd been reading about how compression can reduce effectiveness) and looped the Brainwave Mind Voyages Series XII Track 07 (Inducing Lucid Dreams & OBE) all night.

Results? No lucidity but the MOST dreams I've ever had. Period.

I had 5 dreams total. 3 were absolutely epic, lasting for hours (it seemed) one even for "weeks" (bion!) and 2 "shorties". All were very vivid. The really long one left me feeling messed up upon waking (emotional hangover). I'm going to post them all in my journal later when I get the time to type it all out, I suspect it's going to amount to something like 3 pages handwritten, I've got all my jot-notes from sitting on the can this morning and they add up to nearly 3/4 of a page alone.

Now that's what I call dedication. The only thing you didn't do is wire some electrodes to your head to give you a jolt when you started dreaming. lol.

At least you had some great dreams. Be thankful for that.

BTW, I like your picture of the guy sleeping.

That's Homer Simpson sleeping, iadr ;)


Anyway, nice job on getting that many dreams in one night. Just make sure you don't end up getting addicted to medications :)
