      Ginger?

      Ginger was listed in one of the threads here as a lucid dream aid. So, to test this, I took two pills with ginger, 500 mg a pill. I'm already a lucid dreamer, but last night was still pretty amazing. I had some really vivid dreams, and I seemed to be very lucid, and I was able to think much clearly. I even remembered a set task I have, but then remembered that I'm not supposed to do it yet. And in the morning (half an hour ago), spontaneous WILDs started happening. I didn't get to go through any of them, because I had no HI to use as a dream entry.

      I know this might have just been placebo, or I would have had these vivid dreams anyways, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

      Ginger is a root.

      Weather it is called ginger or ginger root, you are buying the same thing.

      Please keep reporting, so that we can ascertain the effect of the ginger pill.

      If you try it too many times, consecutively, your body will get used to it and it will diminish its effects.


      I would use it sparingly, max 3 times a week.

      Alright, then I will wait for a few days.

      I took two ginger pills before bedtime last night. It's so effective that is has to be the placebo effect. It's 6am, I don't have to get up until 8, here is a recap of my night so far...

      I went to bed at 11pm, and worked on autosuggestion to remember a task I wanted to do. I quickly fell asleep.

      I woke up at around 1am and then again at around 3am, both times with lucid dreams that were not very vivid. I remembered the tasks, but I remembered them wrong. Once I started falling asleep again, I started to spontaneously WILD. This early! The weird thing is that I didn't feel any vibrations, I didn't have any HI, but I got a headrush, and my ears were buzzing as I got close to a dream. However, even though this happened several times, no dreams came. Probably because I didn't have any HIs, and without them, I have a bit of a mental block for going through WILDs. I was awake for maybe an hour, until I really started to feel SP set in, it didn't kick in properly, but I could hardly move, just a little. I started getting HIs, but I think I blacked out a little before I entered a lucid dream. It wasn't all that vivid, and I was wandering around the front of my old high school, thinking of something I don't remember. I woke up, and quickly fell asleep again. This is where it got really crazy. I started dreaming again (lucid), but I woke up quickly. I didn't move once I woke up, and a really quick spontaneous WILD happen, and I was dreaming again. I had 5 dreams like this in a row, mostly in the same place. They were short, but the vividity was insane. I had full control, but I had to spin every time I came back into the dream, because I could still feel my real body. But the spinning worked! I could think pretty clearly, so I got lots of tasks and such done.

      I've been awake for half an hour now, and I wonder if I'm still in that REM cycle...

      Whoa

      That sounds awesome! You'll probably have to check it at least a couple more times though to ensure it's not a placebo.

      Keep us posted!

      By the way, are ginger pills terribly expensive?? That's never something I'd even think to look for at a Walgreens. LOL.

      They aren't expensive. They cost the same as any other ordinary herbs etc.

      Ok, I'll try again later this week!

      I'm going to have to take ginger pills again, because I'm nauseous.

      I had some pretty vivid dreams last night, but not all that much more vivid than usual.

      I had 6 pretty vivid lucid dreams last night, without ginger, so I suppose that I can draw the conclusion that ginger doesn't affect my dreams.

      I think someone else needs to try this to be sure. I'll pick some up soon.
