      So, since the start of November, I've been drinking a shot of apple juice each night before bed (except for one). So far this month I have had 5 Lucids and some pretty darn vivid, long, in depth, dreams. Apple Juice has had a very noticeable effect for me, but not so much the lucids as the increase in clarity.

      I suggest everyone try apple juice, even if you already have lucids on a regular basis.

      Decided to bump this thread because apple juice works. I had a big glass an hour before bed last night and remembered about 6 dreams, 3 being very vivid. I was going through a bad recall peried but the apple juice pulled me out of it

      Not sure if this has already been brought up, but what about apple sauce and regular apples? If they contain the same stuff, the higher consistency would cause it to work its way through your system more slowly and have the same effect for a longer period of time, right?

      I am definitely going to try this tonight! No wonder little kids have so many dreams, they always drink apple juice!

      Also, if I keep drinking apple juice almost every night, will eventually my dreams not be as vivid because my body has gotten used to drinking apple juice all the time?

      One more question. How early should I drink a glass of AJ before gong to bed?

      I don't think its effect can be lessond by drinking it all the time because I think its because some vitaman or protien in the apple juice but Idk because I'm not sure thats why it increases lucidity. Also next time edit your posts into one.

      Yes, I've heard apples work too. A lot of people said that 2 apples were the equivalent of a cup of apple juice.

      I've been trying Apple Juice the last few days and It's worked for me. The First night i tried almost 16 oz. I had a glass and then read that apple juice helps, then before bed had some more and remembered 2 very full very vivid dreams. (usually remember only 1 full one and a bunch of splices). Then last night I tried only 1 glass (8 0z) and only remembered one really vivid dream. Also had a false awakening of me going to drink more apple juice in the morning wearing a fedora on top of a bowler hat. (of which i only own 1)

      Haha. So maybe the more you drink, the more you dream and remember?
      Well, here's how last night went.
      Drank about 5oz of apple juice before bed; woke up at 2:45 and drank about 4oz. Then went back to sleep woke up at 5:15, drank less than 4oz of AJ, then went back to sleep. Woke up at about 7:15 a.m. And in between 5:15 and 7:15 I kept waking up. So I didn't dream long.
      I only remembered a fragment of each dream, and I only had 2 dreams. So I guess I need to drink more AJ. But the prob is is that I get so sick to my stomach, but I love apple juice.

      This is really interesting, because my dream recall is usually pretty good and my dreams are usually extremely vivid. I usually drink apple juice a lot. Over the last few days I've had a dry spell for dream recall, and I also didn't drink any apple juice during that time because we were out until yesterday.

      I've not had an LD yet, so I can't speak to the effects of apple juice on lucidity.

      Just reporting that this worked for me as well, i ate an apple before bed and remembered 1 long vivid dream. but i only slept for 5 hours. i probably would have remembered more had i slept longer! actually thinking back, two days ago i had my first extremely vivid dream in a long time and i remember eating it apple right before bed! o-o
      This definitely works!

      Hmm, I have been continuing to drink the AJ before bed and in WBTB. I've been drinking about 7oz before bed.
      I got into another dry spell, can't remember anything in 3 nights so far. Will try again tonight and see if I remember anything.

      Wow, I drank a glass about 20 minutes before I went to bed and in the morning I remembered 3 separate, long dreams! Placebo? maybe. But it works!

      I have a wierd feeling that it's just a placebo effect, but AJ definitely works for me too.
      (Have I posted here before?)
      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.

      Apple juice usually has large amounts of Vitamin C, which helps with the synthesis of neurotransmitters. Could that have any effect on dream vividness? I got that info from Wikipedia, so I don't actually know anything for sure.
      I don't usually think, therefore I mostly am not.

      could it be perhaps just the high sugar... giving the brain/memory some fuel? Forgive me if I sound naive - in any case I will certainly give apple juice a try.

      Holy crap... I drank 10oz of apple juice when I woke up at 3:30AM last night. I had 4 LDs!!! Thats more than I have been able to have in 4 months! Thank you for the tip about the Apple juice!

      EDIT: I drank 20oz of AJ before I went to bed too.

      I will also repeat the same thing today, and post my results tomorrow.

      I tried this apple juice technique last night and I recalled 3 dreams, but not LD unfortunately. I'm gonna try it again tonight.

      Do many of you users these days use this technique regulary?

      Also I've seen dark chocolate be mentioned a few times. I'm gonna pick some up tomorrow, but how does the dark chocolate idea work? When do you eat it? Before bed? During WBTB?

      Well I did a combo of peanut butter, celery, some choline in a pill (100mg), and apple juice before bed.
      I woke up a bit later than I expected (I deprived myself the night before because I had to be at work at 3 am; First part of the WBTB was 4 pm-11 pm). I meant to get up at 10:00, but I stayed up for a little under an hour, and I had a very nice LD. The weird thing is the SP sounds were like a lawn mower. lol
