      gingko biloba and dream recall

      hey everyone, not sure if anyone posted anything on this subject before, lol but o well. i've been taking some gingko before i go to sleep, and it really improves my recall and really increases the vividness of the dreams. a little info on ginkgo would be: that it increases blood flow to the brain and extremities (fingers, feet ect) , acts as a stress reliever, and is just good to take to stay healthy, and to keep healthy. anyway, the dreams i remember from taking gingko, i dont have dream "blackouts" where i am in one dream and then im instantly in a completely different dream. i dont space out between periods of dreaming, instead its like i dream a whole bunch of sequences and notice the major change in the dream that leads to the next sequence. really made me rethink my idea of what "seperate" dreams are, lol which i am still thinking of.

      so considering everything, i'd say gingko would be good to experiment with to see if it changes the vividness of dreams, or increases recall. you can get gingko at your nearest GNC (general nutriution center). i probably spelled nutriution wrong, o well you know what i mean.

      Hello,

      Ginko Biloba is wonderful for dream recall as well as inducing LD. I've used it for years and can tell a difference on the occasions I've stopped taking it.

      Other supplements that help are: Valerian, Mugwort, Mullein, Kava Kava, Dittany of Crete, St. Johns Wort, Calea Zacatechichi, Salvia Divinorum, Scutellaria Indica, Licorice Root, Vervain, Jasmine, Honeysuckle, Datura, Bee Pollen, Hops, Scullcap, Mimosa, Lavender, Damiana, Withania Somnifera, Passionflower, Chamomile, Cardamom, Gotu Kola, Ibogaine, Verbena, Rose, Cinnamon, Marigold, Nutmeg, Peppermint, Holly, Yarrow and Anise.

      You can find many teas with a combination of these herbs.

      While I have nothing against herb usage in world of dreaming ( I occasionally use herbs myself) , remember that no herb can replace training and work. So, if someone reads this and spends his week's salary to buy herbs, you have been warned

      but most of those herbs taste horrible. Gotta do more mixing I quess in order to "enjoy" the tea
      Jujutsu is the gentle art. It's the art where a small man is going to prove to you, no matter how strong you are, no matter how mad you get, that you're going to have to accept defeat. That's what jujutsu is.

      gotu kola

      i have a male gingko tree in my front yard, but i'm not sure of what i can do with it besides make tea from the leaves, because im not sure how much gingko tea would effect dreams. i guess i'll have to try that sometime.

      yay someone agrees with me!

      I've just got to mention one thing... I have read that taking over 60 mg of ginkgo biloba for a long period of time can increase the risk of hemmorage of the eyes and brain... Soo... yeah. And you should not take it with other blood thinners. AND it may cause more bleeding than usual...
