Crystals have some sort of energy that if used properly, can have certain healing effects...and some crystals supposedly help with dream consciousness/awareness.

It's going to be some time before I can obtain other crystals that are said to assist in lucid dreaming. But if I get them and it works (like if I get lucid dreams every night) I'll let you know. A placebo can't be so powerful to have lucids every night...when I currently get a lucid maybe once in two weeks without crystals.
I believe placebos can affect every aspect of the mind. Subconscious, conscious, awake, or asleep. Since the subconscious is what controls dreams it makes sense that if your subconscious is 100% positive that crystals will cause a lucid every night, then they can.
