As for dosage, I like the strategy of starting small, noting the effect on dreaming (if any) and gradually raising to the more typical dose. A good starting dose may be something like 15-20 mg of menthol. (Hopefully your drops give you some indication of how much menthol they contain.) See what the effects are, and if they are mild enough, take a few days off between doses, gradually increasing. I find 30-35 mg to be a very effective dose for dream enhancement.
The highest dose I've personally used was probably just under 40 mg of menthol, which was 6 cough drops. This was pretty tedious to choke down! Good luck, and let us know how you do!
