Thread: A way to LD 'almost' regularly.

I think B5 and choline together would be a better choice.
and these seem to be safer.

I know B6 kept me up all night once.

What a great idea!

I've tried Vitamin B before, but took it before going to bed at night and got nothing. Last night, I woke up about 2:30 to go the bathroom, had a drink of water and took a Vitamin B.

It wasn't an LD, but it was an INCREDIBLY strong, LONG, , detailed, vivid dream the likes of which I haven't had for ages. Does this work long-term?
If it does, it certainly increases the likeliness of lucidity if I keep up with RCs. I've dropped off recently because my recall has deteriorated and even auto-suggestion didn't seem to be doing much. But that was awesome last night. Definitely trying it again tonight.

I don't think it's the Vitamin B. I think it's the waking up and then going back to sleep. That has ALWAYS given me lucid dreams, at least since I started having them. Honestly, in my opinion, that is THE surefire way to do it. I think you're a little closer to awake when you immediately start dreaming (which is what happens to me when I wake up from a dream, then go back to sleep) than you would be if you entered dreamstate from deep sleep. And I've found that my dreams are most lucid and controllable when I feel like I am almost on the verge of waking up. Plus, it's that last dream that's the one you remember the best, so it makes sense that this would occur for the last hour or so of your sleep (i.e. take pill after 7 hours). Plus, i lucid dream the best when it's light out, which it probably would be at that time.

Really, don't even get out of bed. If you wake up right from the dream, try to immediately go back to sleep. You should be back in the same dream, and it should be lucid and easier to control.

It's vitamin B complex pills that has everything not the individual ones.

uh huh, that what we like to call a DEILD. and by the way, if you were to get up, it wouldnt work.

and i was just wondering, what are vitamin b used for besides LDing.

Tried it again last night, didn't work.

Gonna keep trying with it, though, that dream the first night was AMAZINGLY strong and detailed, and it seems highly unlikely it was just a coincidence.

It depends on how much sleep you got. If it still dosen't work you can try fine tuning the time slot to slightly later like an hour later if you slept late that night.

What convinced me that it's the pill was the fact that I was in a dry spell of bad recall even in the mornings for weeks. And then have a 1 to 1 transfer of memory into an LD (miracle) complete with back up plan when it did not go my way as expected.... Then stopped the pill for a while and bad recall again. But the pill cannot be taken consecutively within a 6 hour period or I'll have cramps in the head.... Does anyone know what causes it? Maybe it's too strong for me.

I bought some Vitamin B6 recently and could only find it in the womens health section of the health food shop, most of the brands with pink labels. "For the relief of PMS symptoms. May also relieve the severity of morning sickness" so there ya go :-)

They used to give B12 shots to people detoxing from alcohol.

My B Complex bottle says B3 is essential for a healthy brain and nervous system, B1 and B2 release energy in the body, B1 is also required for normal development, physical performance and well-being, B2 can assist concentration and maintain normal mood and memory, and B12 is important for maintaining normal cardiovascular health.

So now you know.

I took them after 7 hours of sleep... But 1 a night is just not enough for me so I din't take anymore to test it further since it makes dream incubation difficult....
