      A way to LD 'almost' regularly.

      Maybe you already discovered this but if you take a vit B pill after 7 hours of sleep and go back to sleep...not WBTB, there is a high chance the dream will be a DILD. Happened twice so far when I took the pill at that prime time but it wears off and the dream after that is normal dreaming so that means 1 LD per night/day.

      B6 helps you sleep.

      B12 and B5 are the brain waker-uppers. They need to be taken with other B vitamins to be effective.

      See guide:-
      http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=56235

      I've tried B12 and B9 combo which did work.
      But it does wake you up a bit (like taking red bull).

      Remember, B12 just increases vividness of the dream. You must be the one to elicit lucidity!

      It was a DILD in both cases...and were triggered by oddity not RC. I think the pill increased access to waking memory because in both cases it was because I saw people I knew who were dead in reality and remembered they were dead.

      You can also take a Tic Tac instead. If you believe it to work, there is a good chance it does.

      You are saying the pill working is a placebo? I don't think so...cause I took the pill not to have LDs but to have vivid dreams and to feel better later on cause of the failed attempt. The other pill was taken a week later because I couldn't be bothered with just one LD a night to focus on it.... So no it's not a placebo just a way to have an LD using a pill......if whoever is happy with just one.

      Err... B12 increases cognitive functions like memory, so your dream recall. Not particulary your dream vividness itself, which I believe to be constant. Why would your subcon sometimes generate a less life-like world than normal?
      You just remember your dreams better, including their vividness, methinks.

      I'm not an expert.... but my experience of 'Dream vividness' may be compared to a TV screen...a non vivid dream would be like the contrast and brightness turned down and all I see are vague images that have no story or plot. A vivid dream is when everything is tuned up and I see everything in detail and know what is going on. Then there's bad recall where I only remember bits and pieces of what may have been a vivid dream maybe the tail end at best.... So when I take the pill...I remember most of it. But sometimes it's so bad..only bits and pieces....

      Remember we can't all tell eachother this will do that, and that will do this.

      I drink coffee before bed and have a great sleep.

      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.

      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....

      Yeah it may or may not work depending on the timing and brain chemistry..I think..but those pills are quite cheap I got my bottle of 30 pills for about 10 bucks from a pharmacy.

      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.

      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 :-)
