Hey, folks. I had an account here before the site changed so I'm kind of familiar with the place and I don't need any big explanations. I'm looking for your advice for a variety of dream induction techniques which I'm combining to try and form a stable, fool-proof method.
First is the obvious one, dream recall. I've started a DJ again. First I wake up and immediately focus on key elements of the dreams, then I scribble them down, later writing out a few short paragraphs.
Then there's meditation. It's pretty simple stuff; I'm just trying to relax and focus my mind before sleep for both mental clarity and dream motivation ("I WILL ATTAIN LUCIDITY!").
Finally, mineral supplements. I know it's more a hormone than a mineral, but I used to be prescribed melatonin and I could get hold of it again, but going back and forward to doctors is so hassling. Instead, I'm looking into a combination of magnesium, tryptophan and zinc; used together, it's apparently known as "ZMT". I've read a few anecdotal reports of its effect on refreshing sleep and increased dream vividness. I know tryptophan's psychological effects on dreaming are disputed, but I have depression anyway, so it can't hurt. Despite living in the UK (things are difficult to get over the counter - no dangerous painkillers! Shock!) I'm still able to get hold of all three.
I suppose in summary what I'm asking here is one, do any of you have experiences to report on ZMT or any of its constituents, and two, what do you think of the combination of dream recall, meditation and mineral supplementation?
WILD is also something I'm looking into practising. Thanks for your time, and I look forward to reading responses...
