For more intense, vivid dreams that are easier to recall after you awake, take vitamin B6, also known as Pyridoxine, in the hours before you go to bed. Be careful not to take more than the recommended amount as it can be toxic at high doses.
According to erowid.org, valerian and melatonin should be added with B6 vitamins for the best results. See http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=48015 I've been trying to empty about half a glass containing 100 B6 vitamins with 10 melatonin-pills, and 10 valerians. Unfortunately the result was quite disappointing, I must say. I did dream, yes, but not more or different than I usually do. I slept all next day away. This recipe is a quite heavy one to your body... love, -wolf-
dill pickles seem to work for me. the really good kind you can't hardly seem to find any more. but then so do a lot of odd combinations of things, and i don't mean just of things to ingest. trains going by in the distance when not loud enough to wake me up are the most often probable cause of my dreaming, almost always in a positive way, about flying saucers. don't mind me, but my mind does seem to work in somewhat 'e.t. alien' ways. always has. always glad that it does. =^^= .../\...
Does it take a while for your body to get used to it (vitamin B6) or is it supposed to work the first night?
B6... I take that and I was told to take it in the morning, or otherwise it will be difficult for me to sleep at night if I took it in the evening.. And anyway it did not do much to help me remembering my dreams.
Probably. Under all circumstances I guess it's not healthy as a habit. I've been trying it in 3 turns. First times I just ate 10-15 pills or something like that, beacuse I thought it would be too extreme just to empty half a glass. Then second time, I ate some more, and the effect was still disappointing, so third time I just ate a lot of them. I'm a big man, and I will not recommend it to girls having no weight. My dreaming was weird, but it often is, and it was nothing unusual as such. So it's true that you'll dream, but you probably don't need such big dosis then. There's no reason to eat so much B6 as I did - that was stupid. I was completely wasted all next day. Not even high or something - just wasted... love, -wolf-
That's probably right. I must have been misinformed, since I've been told that B6 is one of the few vitamins that are not toxic in high doses. My former post was irresponsible, I admit. That was not ment as a recipe or as a request (and that's also the reason I wrote that the effect was disappointing, and didn't live up to my expectations). I should have stressed, that I haven't researched possible bi-effects of B6 enough to know, and therefore I should have warned about it. I didn't - that's my stupidity, and I apologize. So let emphazise: I don't recommend it. love, -wolf-
Actually these high doses that I mentioned earlier only make your dreams weird, while you're asleep. They knock you out and you sleep. And know, let me say, it was a misunderstood experiment. The main reason why not taking big doses of B6 is - like pressed_rat mentioned, because it's toxic. Another reason is because it's boring just to sleep on it - dreams are dreams - no unusually about that. Instead of that bullshit about taking many, many B6-pills that I spoke about before, that I really, really regret, You can do as such if you wanna have a psychedelic experience: 2 melatonins (3 mg) + 100-200 mg B6 (2-4 pills) + 600-700 mg Valerian (7-8 pills). These doses are not dangerous at all, but might not be a good idea if you're going to work the next early morning. You need to sleep 10-12 hours. You will not experience anything in sleep as such - more like in the realm between awake and sleep. It will not work in a quiet room, with no sound & living pictures. It works good if you lay at the sofa behind your TV (Without watching it - but letting the shifting colors stimulate your closed eyes), and turn the volume down so that you can hear something, but not hear so much that you can hear what they're actually talking about. That will stimulate your imagination, and these circumstances will create alot of hallucinations of sound and colors before you'll sleep, and when you'll sleep, you will sleep well! I'm not sure how much insight it will provide - but it's a pleasant soft trip... love, -wolf-
