      Supressing the amygdala

      From Science of Dreaming - Section 2 - Robert J Hoss


      "Reports using PET scans indicated a greater sense of control over the dream (lucidity) when

      the medial frontal cortex (involved in consciousness) was active, and a greater sense of the

      dream being out of control when the amygdala (involved in emotional processing) was more

      active."


      I'm wondered if that would mean suppressing the amygdala in some way, would be a viable way

      to gain more LD control (as opposed to the more common approach of increasing awareness).

      Apparently Propranolol can suppress the amygdala -

      And then found this -

      But I, and I'm sure most people interested, would like a more common supplement to do the same suppressing trick as propranolol.. Thoughts?
