So, I finally officially tried the Galantamind! But on its own. I didn't down the two supplements together because I wanted to test to see how the Galantamind felt. I'd already tried the Choline prior to going to bed before, and it did increase my dream recall/vividness.

I followed all that I've read on this forum as advised above. I woke in the middle of the night with the alarm and downed one capsule (4 mg) and tried to immediately lay still to fall back into sleep, but my heart began thumping out of my chest. (I'm a nervous freak of nature and suffer panic attacks, ugh) I was so angry with myself. I tried deep breathing to calm down my heart. I read in the "Advanced Lucid Dreaming" book the it has its peak at 1 hour. Well, I wasn't able to fall asleep till way past one hour after ingesting due to my idiotic nerves
I totally know what you all mean about SP now. I've had vague experiences without this supplement (never ever had SP as a kid, either), but I felt the entering and would try moving my fingers to see if I could. I'm happy to say I had no scary visual SP *BUT* my experience for SP was pathetic. I only got as far as realizing it was very difficult to move my fingers and it didn't seem important enough to try to move. I felt lethargic and heavy. I have vague memory of 'hearing' something but I can't remember what it was.

I didn't enter a LD at all But I did have a very lengthy dream with none other than Gloria Estefan & boats/water. And visiting her mother (??) It had good continuity, and pretty good vividness but I now know for a fact how important combining Galantamind w/ Choline is. I'm already condemning myself for being too much of a chicken, now that I have to wait a couple of days before trying again

I also did wake with a tad bit of a headache. I'm doing as instructed and downing Piracetam.

Conclusion: Quite a bit affected my results. I didn't immediately fall asleep when first going to sleep for the night, and therefore ended up taking it about 3 hours after falling asleep. I slept in, which I could tell also affected the outcome. Last but not least, I didn't take the important concoction of galantamind & choline together, which is the key. Now that I know how galantamind feels on its own, I won't freak out next time and will report back the full effect in two days when I try again!
