I drink quite a bit of green tea and I also take capsule supplements.
I can't say I've had the same amount of luck as everyone else here, but glad to see it's working for you!

all right, no more triple shot green tea for me. Usually caffeine isn't that hard on me but I couldn't fall asleep at all.
On the other hand, something about the combo of the tea and audio aid game me SP, felt it in my legs within minutes, spread to my hands, arms, and eventually my neck and face. First time experiencing SP.
Between that and the caffine, I couldn't fall asleep untill around 2:45, so I only remembered one dream when I woke up, which was around 9:30 :?
quick question...
I finally got around to buying some green tea extract and 5-htp. The green tea is 250mg each and the 5-htp is 100mg, but I'm not sure what amount of each would be good. What amounts have been working for you guys?
Green Tea is life.
Would drinking Green Tea work too? Because I'm drinking it now, but I wonder how much of it one would have to drink. I'll try tonight and if I remember, I'll post the results.
I'm going to try drinking some green tea later tonight (not immediately before I go to bed). I'll report back tomorrow.
edit: No affect whatsoever on my dream recall or lucidity. Maybe if I drank it right before I went to bed (which might not be very good, with caffeine and all)?
I checked out the 5-htp. I haven't used any yet. On the side of the bottle it says "do not use if you are under the age of 18". anyone know anthing about that?
Green tea is a stimulant that when take at WBTB time can help in staying awake long enough to enter a WILD. I drink green tea all the time, at work first thing in the morning to get going, then later in the afternoon when I need a pick me up, and then during the night when I want to enter a WILD. Even though I drink decaffeinated green tea, it is still very effective.
The most effective way to use green tea for becoming lucid is to combine it with something like Sleepy Time Extra herbal tea, and drink it after you've had a few hours of sleep, and then try to enter a WILD.
The green tea will help you stay awake long enough to enter a WILD while the Sleepy Time Extra tea will help you relax and bring on dream images. This is one of the most effective methods I've found for becoming lucid, take one thing to help relax and go to sleep along with something else to keep your mind awake..
Very interesting, I ought to try this. Is it ok if someone younger than 18 takes it though?
This is very interesting. Who is the manufacturer and what was the dosage? Is it the EGCG that's effective?
I also wonder if it's the little bit of caffeine that's doing the trick...
i've been drinking about 5 cups green tea every day for about 7 years... never had special or pectulair dreams or dream states ..... but i never drink green tea before sleeping
drinking green tea during the day will help with dreams at night. recall mostly.
try Valerian Root, as tea, it tastes and small like shit but you will get lucidity, worked first time.
I tried a cup of Yerba maté during WBTB and I think it kept me a bit too awake to enter the dream state. :boggle: When I woke up this morning, I felt as if I had already had 2 cups of coffee. From now on, I'll save the teas containing caffeine for the morning and early afternoon. :-P
Yerba Mate is good for doing things in the day but doesn't really do anything to help in the dream department
