I remember reading somewhere that there is a chemical that is released when you wake up from a dream that causes you gradually forget your dreams, so you don't think that that is what actually happened in your life. I wonder if there is an inhibitor for that?

I believe you forget your dreams in the first five minutes when you wake up, to remember them, simply keep a notebook by your bed and as soon as you wake up, write the dreams down. Also when your ready to go to sleep, keep saying, I am about to go to sleep now, I will remember all of my dreams, keep repeating until your asleep.

Yeah I do that and have hundreds of dreams written down, but I'm wondering about the chemicals. For example mental meditation to focus versus taking nootropics to focus.

Can I order some of these chemicals please. I'll take a months supply to be going on with. Are there any SDRT (Selective Dream Recall Tablets), as I'd prefer to forgot the nightmares ... for now?

Good question, maybe Life Mirage knows?

While I'm not remarkably interested in remembering my dreams as I don't have a problem doing use. Various users of smart drugs have since a difference, however the effect varies per person.

If I take a galantamine/choline before bed, I have really awesome lucid dreams, and remember them pretty well--consequently I only get like 4 hours of sleep for some reason, but I feel great all day and totally refreshed.

Flex, how much galantamine and choline do you take? I've tried them both but have never noticed enhancement of lucid dreaming.

Probably more than I should When I go to bed I tak 8mg galantamine, 200mg choline, 3mg melatonin, 200mg theanine, GABA 500mg, 100mg 5-HTP. I take some other nootropics as well at night, but they don't really effect my sleep.

I've noticed melatonin sometimes enhances lucid dreaming but typically makes me feel groggy the next day. Also l-tyrosine, 5-HTP, and taurine combos sometimes work too. Also nicotine is great, though I wouldn't necessarily recommend it due to its addictiveness.

Yeah I got the taurine and tyrosine--it has been working well. I use the galantamine as a replacement for nicotine. I think I know why the galantamine for me works great; I always wake up in like 4-5 hours after I fall asleep when I take it, then I am awake for about an hour, and crash again for another hour or two with intense dreaming. I think disturbing the sleep cycle is a big part of it.

Ever read Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming? In it Stephen Laberge has done studies on that. Waking up a couple hours earlier than usual, engaging yourself in some activities for about an hour, and then returning to sleep for the remaining sleep period. I have used this technique quite a few times, almost always leading to lucid dreams.
