This seems to be working well for me with several lucids now after taking it. It isn't a guaranteed lucid maker, and I don't take it as such. What it does is relax you and generate alpha brain waves, as well as increase dopamine levels. If I take it at night, and wake after sleeping about 7 or 8 hours I usually remember 2 or 3 vivid dreams, then if I take another 200mg capsule and after staying up a couple of hours go back to bed for a couple more hours I often become lucid as I have a couple of times this week. The WBTB is important as well as sleeping enough to where you shouldn't be really sleepy, then take more Theanine which makes me sleepy enough to fall back to sleep. I think the Theanine's part in this is to make me sleepy enough to go back to sleep but since it promotes alpha brain waves, keeps the sleep light enough after waking to not sleep to deeply, making it more easily to become lucid. |

Im interested also! |

I have been using l-theanine to help me fall asleep, but I haven't noticed any of the things you have mentioned. |
|
You can find L-Theanine at most Vitamin shops, also you can probably order it online from Amazon. I got mine at my local vitamin shop. Theanine is an amino acid taken from green tea, but you would have to take a lot of green tea to get the concentration of theanine of theanine extracts. |

Do they still sell theanine at stores because I talked to a lady at gnc and she said that they only sell it mixed with other herbal stuff because it was banned to be sold individually. |

Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

I can probably look online. Maybe they just don't sell it in store as an idividual ingredient. The lady said people were taking too much of it so it got banned to be sold by itself. |

I drank green tea then took a mid day nap. It had to have been the l-theanine that gave me wacky dreams within minutes even with multiple wake ups if I went back to sleep in a few minutes I would dream again. Had a dream someone gave me a lake house and another dream that someone has a wedding over a dark swamp with wood panels you stood on and it was really hard not to go in the water. |
