Thread: Vitamin B6 and me!

Hi there fellow Lucid dreamers!

Today I purchased a bottle of 100mg B6 vitamins, have been struggling to recall my dreams lately and have read these can help! Anyone else tried these?

Thought I would create a thread and update with my experience while taking these vitamins.

(Not sure if this is the right sub-forum for this, if a mod/admin could put it where it should be that would be great!)

**Thread moved to Lucid Aids**

I have moved it to Lucid Aids. B6 and other supplements are discussed here, I guess for both lucid and regular dreams.ok, so melanie got to it just before I did.

I have used 100mg B-complex, which has 100mg of B6 among others. On first try, I got 3 very vivid, detailed, long and interesting dreams. Not sure if it was placebo effect, because nothing like that happened since.

But I have noticed, that I have on occasion better recall (could also be coincidence) when I take 50mg instead of 100mg.

But it is one of the vitamins, that should help you with recall.

Great thing to help you remember your dreams is a dream journal. Not sure if you keeping one, but so many people report recall getting better, when they start writing their dreams down. Happy dreams

I think we were both attempting it at the same time, gab.

Thank you for this. I may have some supplement questions for both of you.


Keep this thread updated with progress.

Will do! thanks guys.

Night 1

9:20PM: Take 2x 100mg vitamin b6.

10:20PM: Go to bed and try to go to sleep, feeling a bit restless

10:30PM: Try and do a WILD but my mind is wandering too much

11:00PM: When I fell asleep (I think)

2:40AM: I wake up and can vividly remember the dream I was having, I think it must have been a few minutes long, the colours were very in your face real. I write the dream in my journal, I write a lot for such a small dream.

2:50AM: I go back to sleep trying to put myself back in the dream. No such luck.

4:30AM: I wake up again but couldn't remember anything.

7:45AM: Wake up and remember another short dream I had, Jennifer Lopez was in it ...

My first thoughts of B6 are great, I am going to keep using them before bed and hope I get more vivid dreams. Will probably drop the dose to 100mg though.

Be carefull with those. 100mg tablet contains 1000% (one THOUSAND ) of daily recommended dose of some of the vitamins. As Auron says, may lead to nerve damage.

I have had better luck with 50 mg dose. And it's not a silver bullet either. Many other factors, so if dreams are not so vivid, may not be the vitamins fault.

Night 2

9:30PM: Take 1x 100mg vitamin b6.

10:20PM: Go to bed and repeat to myself "When I dream, I will realize I'm dreaming.

2:00AM: Wake up and can't remember anything.

4:00AM: Wake again can remember small things, but not a full sequence.

7:50AM: Wake up and write a dream down, it wasn't very vivid but was really random. While writing it all I could think of was "wtf did I dream about this"

Not sure if I should stick this dose out, or go back up to 200mg.

That's way too much b6 to be taking that often. It can lead to nerve damage.

is it best to take a vitamin (B/Complex) pill just before bed or around 4-5 hours after falling asleep?

I have read 1-2 hours before bed. I have also read nerve damage could occur after taking 500mg a day, for an extended period of time.

However I have stopped taking them for a few days.

Not sure if this is just me but, i try to shy away from any drug/vitamin for dreaming i just think that stuff is not something to mess with. I would suggest sticking to herbs or any other natural form of helping induce dreams or dream recall.
