Thread: 5-htp or B6?

Galantamine has a pretty high success rate.

5-htp is the precursor to Seretonin.
Taking 5-htp will suppress REM for the first 4-5 hours of sleep, resulting in (hopefully) REM rebound in the remaining hours. It's not a direct lucidity aid, but obviously can help condense your dreaming hours into one large chunk, which is handy because your dreams will be longer. This will allow you to focus your lucidity efforts during the rebound.

Galantamine works on a completely different process, and is an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. Acetylcholine (ACh) is a vital brain chemical for the formation of memories and similar processes. AChE breaks down ACh.
During sleep AChE levels increase, and this is one of the reasons we cannot remember our dreams, and why our mental functioning in dreams is reduced. Galantamine blocks AChE, allowing for higher levels of ACh... giving us that increased mental performance, and hopefully lucidity. Galantamine also modulates nicotinic receptors in such a way as to make them more sensitive.

A good combination is taking 5HTP before bed, waking up after around 5 hours sleep, take some Galantamine, and return to bed. As such you should have a long period of REM with increased mental functioning.
