There are various foods and drinks that you can consume which seem to have some effect on sleeping and dreaming. Note that for most of these there is no explanation or scientific study of how they work, and some may simply be placebos.

Don't go overboard with the consumption of any of these, as overdosing could have nasty effects (well, milk should be safe unless you're allergic). Don't experiment without accumulating enough knowledge first. The authors in no way encourage the use of legal or illegal drugs.

* The amino acid tryptophan, which can be found in warm milk amongst other sources, is a precursor for the hormone serotonin, and has been proven to help you fall asleep.
* Vitamin B6 and others of the B group are important for neuronal functions.
* Melatonin is another hormone with neuronal effects.
* 5-HTP or L-5-HTP is a supplement that is related to serotonin, which some claim has induced lucid dreaming on approximately half the nights it is taken.
* Caffeine is useful in WILD Techiques as it helps the mind stay focused and think vividly. Please notice that caffeine is an addictive substance and may have negative effects on your health.
* An Amino Acid Blend made up of 2000mg L-aspartic acid, 4000mg L-glutamine, and 300mg L-theanine can substantially increase your odds of having a Lucid Dream.
* Galantamine - acetylcholinesterase inhibitors extract from plants such as Lycoris radiata (Red Spider Lily) or from chemical synthesis.

Some people who practice Lucid dream (LD) or Out of body experience (OBE) use Galantamine to increase their odds to achieve LD or OBE. By taking small amount of Galantamine (around 4 to 8 mg) after 5 to 6 hours of deep sleep and practice the induction technique such as Meditation, MILD or WILD many people report more sucess with Galantamine.

There also report that taking Galantamine without proper induction technique will not lead to LD or OBE but will result in only a vivid dream instead. It should also be noted that due to a long half life Galantamine will stay in the body for a period of up to and over 48 hours, as such it is advisable to space out the use of Galantamine over a period of three days so that the body does not build a resistance to the drug ruining its effectiveness.

Some people report mixing Galantamine with other Nootropic can enhance the degree of lucidity but this is still controversial since some mixtures may work for some people, but lead to failure for others.

Thanks for the tips you guy and 1 gurl, Anway I'm noticing something strange. When I first read about drinking apple juice to help you with lucid dreaming...I was excited and if it was a placebo affect I wouldn't really care.

Anyway I have done this technique twice, and both times I got the same result. I always had a sad emotional dream when I drink it! The first time, I was crying because my friend died.

The second time, I don't remember my dream, but I remember waking up in the middle of the night crying!

It's hilarious I know, but could there be any explanations for this?

ive tried both and grape juice worked as good or better than apple juice

Its more likely the state of mind you've been in recently, combined with the impact of more vivid dreams. If you're feeling emotional, consciously or unconsciously, it will impact the circumstances of your dreamscape, right?

I had no lucid dreams, but thanks to that apple juice i just got a major boost in dream recall, i was literally writing in my dream journal for about half an hour.
crazy.

I love apple juice and drink it all the time! But my dreams are still blurry short snippets. Oh well.

i must say it works i bought some apple juice at college its 275ml i think and i had 2 apples when i came home i had 4 realistic dreams i had a nightmare that wasnt even scary just dramatic but its beacause it was so real is what scared me i was kinda lucid in my nightmare too its werid

Haven't tryed this more than once and occasionally. Have to get back to this; This topic's getting longer and longer and I suppose that has a good reason.

I'm gunna go to the supermarket now and get some applejuice as well as some apples.
Perhaps neutritional substances in apples are responsible for your successes. As we know most fruitjuices are made from concentrate, in which alot of the actual nuetrition is lost.

So I'll be trying both apples and applejuice. (preferably REAL applejuice from pressed apples)

yeah man i heard that apples are best about 2 apples but when im older dont think my parents will let me do this but my idea is to blend like 5 apples together thats the real shit

^^^

Your parents won't let you blend apples? ROFL

yah haven't you heard? Apples are the new trend of hallucinogenic drugs these days. Watch your teens closely and check for any signs that they might be doing apples

Well can ppl here who tried applejuice, wether it worked for them or not, post here wether they drank Real applejuice, Homemade applejuice or applejuice from concentrate?

I've been eating 2-3 apples before bed for about 2 days now, And i usually blink for about 5 seconds in bed, and when i open my eyes only to find out that 3 hours have passed!... I know it may seem a bit far fetched, but it actually did happen... Can someone explain to me?

Got a butt-load of applejuice today. So psyched to try out this method!

This has happened to me once when I was a kid. Well at least all I can remember. I woke up in the middle of the night, and I looked at the clock...

1 A.M

* Blink *

2 A.M ( Wtf?? )

* Blink *

3 A.M ( I'm trippin balls.. )


And then I fell asleep, it literally felt like a blink. I still remember it till this day...it was very weird.

well, just to add more to the thread.
I had a couple of lucids dream after a bit of a dissapointing week long dry spell last night. Oddly enough i drank apple juice during a WBTB.
Not sure it was the apple juice that did it, as there are so many factors that could have influened it, but still glad i had one.

I'd been out last night celebrating with friends.
Drank A LOT, so got home quite drunk lol
Got to bed at 4am. Woke up soooo thirsty at about 8.30 am. Drank about 3 glasses of apple juice and 2 glasses of water (luckily doing this stopped me having a hangover this morning!)

Anyway went back to bed and had 1 short lucid dream, followed by another longer one.
Assuming the alchohol caused quite a bit of REM rebound.
That combined with the WBTB technique could have been enough to cause the LDs.

Just interesting that apple juice was involved, maybe it had some impact, maybe it was just placebo. Who knows.

Damn. Ok, I switched to real apple juice last night. Well, more real than Motts. I went to Tropicana. And I had all these crazy vivid dreams. In the last one, it was vivid visually (I remember like every single detail, it's ridiculous), I could smell things, hear things, and we even killed an alligator and started cooking it and I could smell and taste it. I got lucid at one point, and I managed to lose all visual cues but then get them back. Unfortunately it was a post-apocalyptic-zombie dream so I lost it pretty quickly But damn. Even if it is all just placebo...

Everyone buy stock in Tropicana. It's the only thing that's going to survive these markets, because I'm about to buy SO MUCH!
Yea I just had another ridiculously long and detailed dream. I had every sense in the dream, but I wasn't lucid. It felt like it lasted 6 hours. This is either some damn good juice or a fantastic placebo.

Hey Shift,
So how are you using apple juice?
Before bed? WBTB? or just throughout the day too?

Sorry if you've already posted this by the way.
The only success I've had with apple juice (but also the only attempt) so far was in a WBTB, so im guessing you do the same?

Also, love the fact that placebo or not, this is a really nice healthy, natural lucid dream practice.

I don't do it throughout the day, although I'd love to (AJ rules...). I drink about one half to one container of applejuice (about 1-2 cups) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...tL._SS500_.jpg during brief awakenings after about 5+ hours of sleep.

I think the OP linked some article about how the effects run through you pretty quickly, so during a wbtb is the only time you'd actually get results. I dunno may want to go back to the first couple of pages and check it out.
Yea, delicious, and reasonably healthy. I don't drink enough fluids anyway and I hate drinking, so this sort of kills two birds with one stone

I had about 12 oz. of apple juice and I'll be going to sleep soon. I'll do a WBTB after 4 hours and have another 8 oz. of apple juice then sleep after 30 minutes, I'll report back the results. If it works I'll do it in the 2 days I take off of Galantamine/Choline/B5. Presently I do 2 days on GalantaMind 4g and 2 days off.

holy crap, i gave up apple juice when i was like 5, but i gotta go get some, the results seem amazing.
