For having good dreams what combinations would work best. Looking in the cabinet I have some various supplements. I have some Choline 800mgs, B-100 vitamin supplement, Melatonin, Ginkgo and Ginseng, Vitamin C, I also have GABA. I'm not sure if I should experiment with these for inducing dreamstates of awareness. I'm wondering if these are what I can use or if I should look for something else. Are these good dream aids?
Opinions on this subject will vary wildly. I personally would stay away from melatonin as you will sleep very deeply and right through your stage 5 cycle in many cases.
Personally, having experimented and read the opinions of others, my best suggestion would be Silene capensis (African Dream Root). Though you are not going to find this in your cabinet or in your local Walgreens. You can easily find it on the internet. I wrote a post on the subject some time back. I have since had many positive experiences.
One thing I have learned is to not exceed 3 days as usage, as it will start to impact the ability to sleep.
yesterday I took melatonin (6mg sustained rls.) for the first time and had 2 dreams. While I still have to work on lucidity, I rarely have dreams. I also take a multi vitamin in the morning so maybe the B's were still in effect as well.
