      Well I had mixed results with my AJ experiment. I drank 1/2 a cup before bed at 1am. I set my alarm for 7am but woke up at 5am to go to the bathroom. It felt like I had been dreaming for hours but I could only remember flashes of the dream. The flashes were vivid but they were only a few seconds. My recall might have been screwed up because when awoke I immediately started calculating sleep times and how it sucked I woke up after only 4 hours of sleep. Anyway, after going to the bathroom, I drank another 3/4 cup of AJ, stayed up for about 20 minutes and tried some WILD techniques but gave up and just went to sleep. I awoke again at 8:45am and again, felt like I had been dreaming for HOURS but could only remember a few vivid flashes. I think I had one false awakening in there.

      Maybe I didn't drink enough but I eat a lot of sugar during the day and it felt wrong drinking the sweet AJ throughout the night. I think I'm going to stick with magnesium glycinate, b6 and choline bitartrate for my dream aids.

      As I wrote in my last post, I'd given up on apple juice because it didn't really work for me and I wasn't into all the sugar. (I was using concentrate)
      But last night I had an apple for dessert around 11:00pm. I tried to go to sleep around 12:45am (my normal time) and couldn't fall asleep till around 2am. I had to wake up for work at 7am. Well right before I woke up I was having some incredibly vivid and trippy dreams! One was my Dad and my teenage nephew smoking a giant joint together and it had a weird cigar sticking out of it. (I've been sober for 10 years and rarely come across pot these days) In another part of the dream, me and someone else took a copy of the entire earth out into space and were somehow shooting energy beams from it. I was concerned that the people back on earth (the real earth was back where we took this earth from) would be confused. This all made sense to my apple affected dreaming consciousness. Haha. I have another apple waiting for me. Probably eat it for dessert this weekend sometime and then go for a WILD in the morning!

      I thought, well give it a shot, it won't hurt. So I took 1 glass apple juice before going to bed and half a glass in the middle of the night.
      I also did listen 1 hour to binaural beats so maybe that's involved.
      But I could remember 5 dreams, two very long ones with full details. However no lucid one this night. I keep the aplle juice in my routine for a while...

      I bought me some Simply Apple, I'll edit in the morning if I notice anything. Drinking roughly 8oz before bed.

      It's difficult to tell if this works or not. I'm guessing you need pretty good dream recall to begin with; when I drank glasses of apple juice before bed, I didn't notice too much of a difference.

      Hm, has anyone tried orange juice?
      I tried Tropicana orange juice before bed, and nothing really changed. Normal dream recall. Anyone else try it, though?

      I had apple juice every night the last weeks. I had two LD's and many recalls.
      My conclusion about A'juice is that it has some effect on your dreams and recalls, but the effect is small and Apple juice is not THE key for LD.
      Still I keep Apple juice in my routine untill I found a better drink.

      I won't try orange juice to much, it's very bad for your teeth when you drink it before going to bed.

      Holy crap.

      After reading this and drinking around 500mL of apple juice (sunrype from concentrate) before I went to bed last night, I had one short lucid dream and I was able to recall five dreams and most details in them. Gotta try this.

      Peanut butter works too, I've heard?
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      My sister just purchased a juice from the store that she claimed was incredibly high with antioxidants... I'm going to try to get some of that juice and some apple juice not from concentrate. Ill start with the apple juice and then use the special juice... I'll probably have the results within a week

      So what kind of juice works? From concentrate or not from concentrate? Im going to go buy some. Oh, peanut butter also works great. A year ago, I remember eating some peanut butter and I had an LD. How much should you take?

      Even apple-flavored mineral water works - which clearly states it's just concentrate. Funnily enough, I discovered that independently and made AJ a part of my technique (posted here, if anyone's interested:http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...58#post1207758). Orange juice MIGHT work, too. This one time I devoured a whole orange in the middle of the night and then had my first LD in years.

      Hey everyone, trying apple juice tonight, just downed a peanut butter and banana sandwich and washed it down with milk, but will be drinking apple juice right before bed and in the midst of the night.

      I am SO interested in all this stuff, having my first OBE 4 nights ago.

      take care guys

      Tried apple juice nd I can tell I had quite more detailed dreams. The only problem is I am having a little trouble targeting my REM periods so my recall last night was terrible (I didn't remember them till morning)

      I drank two glasses of apple juice before bed last night at 11:20, and either had no dreams at all or no recall. It may just be because I was overly tired and didn't wake up between dream cycles. Bleh.

      If the random dream I had a few nights ago was correct, though, chocolate milk is my maaaagical dream fluid. And I think I'm trying pomegranate-blueberry smoothies tonight, actually. For the lulz.

      I'm pretty sure somewhere in this thread someone suggested that 2 apples were the equivalent to the amount of apple juice you would want to drink

      I should try apple juice. Too much makes me sick though, lol

      Actually, the last 2 times I had crazy dreams(the past week) was after eating a lot of beans (Bush's baked beans to be exact). We like to cook up beans and hot dogs... call it "weenies and beanies". Night of I had an interesting dream, but don't remember much of it... had 2 dreams I think. The next night, I had a lot of left overs(3 plates of beans. They're so damn good!) And I had the wierdest set of dreams ever. I don't know if they were seperate, but I remember 3 different scenarios

      Next time we have that for dinner, I'm going to have a lot and see if I get anything. Would make for some cool LD's if I can remember to get lucid, lol

      Sorry this hasn't QUITE been on topic
