      Conclusion - My last post here!

      So I think it's pretty clear what caffeine does for lucid dreaming. Yes, I can work as a trigger but it is also a little tricky. We need the right amount for the moment without causing insomnia. Small doses of caffeine also works great to add with other LDS like galantamine, mugwort... pretty much anything. And obviously the less caffeine you habitually drink during the day the greater effect it has on triggering a LD. That' a really brief summary but that's pretty much all I took from this test.

      I truly appreciate those few of you that bothered to post here and I have really enjoyed seeing your results. Feel free to continue to post here but I'll no longer be posting my trails. Also, if you have any final thoughts on your experiences I'd love to hear about. Thanks again everyone!

      LD for life!

      No problem Xanous. Thanks for raising the OP. I think we are glad we could help.

      I had well above average results using 50 mg of Caffeine @ WBTB. I did not really have any insomnia issues as such, providing my WBTB break wasn't too long.

      I did have a bit of a 'rush' from when I got up out of bed one morning where my heart rate seemed higher/heavier one time; otherwise I was ok.

      I would definitely use it in my regimen again periodically as I always seemed to get good recall and vivid dreams, inc. DILD's.

      I also enjoyed reading everybody's accounts during the period too, including your own.
