I've never used vitamin b6 before, I'm going to take 300mg tonight mixed with some nachos made of cheddar cheese. I will be sure to record my result tomorrow. I am aware of the risks of taking to much B6, and don't feel like anything negative is going to happen. Please list any comments or passed experiences below.
Mmmmm nachos XD
I just got some B6, 200mg last night. I had a very long, interesting dream. Most nights I only recall snippets of the dreams I have rather than what seemed like an hour worth of dream. Took me 3 pages to write it all down.
I'm taking more tonight (including 5mg of Melatonin). I'll let you know how it goes as well. B6 has been reported to work best for dreaming.
Only got 2 hours of sleep, I do remember having one dream. It was a little vivid, but with 2 hours of sleep you wouldn't have even started climbing to the summit of the REM period. I was with one of my old friends that moved, we were playing some zombie game. Instead of controllers we were actually in the game, the level was a lively green place with moss or plants every where. There was some sort of mystical gold with a giant dinosaur/dragon skull lying next to it. There was a puddle over the gold though as if you could stand on it but you would barely get your shoes wet. We were trying to get a achievement, all the zombies spawned around the mystical gold. The challenge was to stand on the gold and survive, I think we failed, and he left then the dream faded. I do remember having another dream, I'm not sure what happened, but i know it was repeating one. I hate those kinds of dreams, there not even worth remembering and get boring around the second time through.
I woke up a few times in the middle of the night but I do recall two very long dreams. Well, I did recall them but when I woke up for good, I found I only imagined I had written down notes. B6 is definitely helping though.
I've still not slept since that two and half of hours of sleep I got last night between 1:30-4:00, I'm fighting not to go to sleep to insure i stay asleep tonight. Tonight I'm going to be taking 300MG still, but i'm not mixing it with the cheese from the nacho's and cheese. I will still be eating the nacho's though because they contain a chemical called tryptophan, I will be taking one of the 100MG pills before during and after eating them. The human body takes the tryptophan and turns into serotonin which can also allow more vivid dreams. Tryptophan is contained in a lot of different foods, but it highly concentrated in some cheeses specifically cheddar cheese. Luckily not only does vitamin B6 help with nerve function to help you have more vivid dreams at night, but it also allows tryptophan to be transferred into serotonin much more easily. I'm hoping these combinations of chemicals will allow me to have much more vivid and possibly lucid dreams. I'm looking forward to dreaming up the results for the dream views community, and will be sharing them with you first thing in the mourning. Happy dreaming!
What's funny is that Tryptophan is turned into Seratonin and Seratonin is turned into Melatonin. :P
My new signature isn't loading... ?
I woke up these mourning thinking that i have had no dreams. Moments later I got a thought rush of 5 -7 dreams, some being dream fragments, and some being semi-long detailed dreams. I only got 5 hours of sleep though, my pet bird woke me up. I still feel like that i would have more dreams with a full night sleep of 6-9 hours with some more deep REM sleep. I will be taking 300mg of b6 next week and record those results as well. Please look at my journal entry to read my descriptions of my dreams.
What are the risks of taking too much vitamin B6? :panic:
If you take 300mg+ for a month or so you could possibly suffer nerve damage, I'm only going to take the 300mg every 2-3 days or twice a week. The nerve damage could be very painful, or it could numbness in the hands and feet. You could also feel a slight need-like sensation, as if your foot or hand was asleep. I haven't felt any different since i started taking it, but i have noticed more vivid dreams.
I don't plan to take such high dosages. Though, since taking it I have noticed a very prominent increase in dream vividness. I'm getting lazy about typing out my newer dreams on DVs but I have them written down. I'll stockpile then add them all at once. :P
I've started only taking 200mg doses, It increases dream recall GREATLY, i recall probably every dream i have whenever i do decide to take it. Dream vividness has been increased slightly, it also feels like i was actually there instead of just spectating if you can understand what i mean by that.
Awesome!! Thanks for detailing this! Hope you get some good long deep sleep tonight! And have long, vivid lucids too!
Because this thread does not follow the research guidelines I am moving it to lucid aids.
I find that simply 100 mg works well enough for me. :)
Then again, I haven't taken a 200 mg dose before.
Why not just take a banana or 2 and some cheddar cheese before going to bed? It's less than 250 mg and not dangerous. You combine tryptophan with vitamine B6.
It doesn't really follow this thread category either then, its suppose to improve dream recall and vividness. It should not be labeled as a lucid aid.
How about just put it in the General Dream Discussion topic? It's a discussion about dreams in general. Fits perfectly. Anyone with me? :breakitdown:Quote:

Hello DreamViews community
Im starting my B6 experimenting tonight for the first time. I work nights so i wont be going to bed till 6am.
My method will be to down a glass of water before going to bed, wake up around 11am for a piss (experience tells me this will happen). Then take 200mg of b6 before returning to sleep to practise a WBTB.
About me: been practising LD'ing for 1 month with no major breakthrough yet, im stocked up on all the other suppliments (B5, niacin, choline, 5htp, ginko belloba) however i have only had semi lucid unstable LD snippets. I bought my B6 suppliments 10 min ago from holland and barret (UK). I feel like im on the edge of a full on LD breakthrough. Ill post my results when i wake up tomorrow.
Best regards
Benjo
Nothing happened. Ill try again tonight
Does anyone know if it is safe to have Vitamin B complex and Ginko biloba before bed for dreaming benefits?
Hi josh, id just recomend B6 on its own if youve not allready done so. Im on day 4 of trying B6 and my dreams just keep on getting more and more real / vivid. Its not the answer to obtaining lucidity, but definately use it in conjunction with some of the LD'ing techniques to increase your chances. Its increased my dream recall from barely 1 per night, to between 3 and 5 dreams per night!!!
So I've been taking B6 suplement for a few weeks and my, my. I definitely think we have something here.
I had been struggling to regain my dream recall recently so I picked up some b6. I've been taking 200mg at bedtime and I'm remembering multiple dreams every night, quite clearly. Seems to work great!
