Hey, so do you see potential for the racetams in inducing lucid dreams or enhancing NLDs?? I haven't seen many accounts of people having luck with that but the idea is intriguing.

Something additional I noticed -- I feel slightly more anxious than I typically do. It's not bad at all, although I can't help but think, "Hey, you did just hit your NMDA receptors like 8 hours ago..." Or perhaps it's all in my head. Wait. Of course it's all in my head.
Wow, that's a lot!! I never would have thought you could take that much without problems eventually showing up lol. I still really don't. >.> Bodybuilders are nuts though.

They've all had some kind of effect in me so far. Piracetam made me dreams much more detailed and vivid, and it actually changed my waking consciousness the most too. It made it feel like my peripheral vision was actually just another part of my central vision, like I could focus on a much large space at once. That probably helped a lot. I tried aniracetam specifically for dreams once but it gave me insomnia and weird nightmares. So far noopept has been the one that's seemed to help rebalance my neurochemistry the most so far (except for maybe piracetam at the very beginning), and I have noticed some sort of improvement in dream quality since I started taking it. It's hard to put my finger on exactly though.

The only others I'm really interested in trying right now are nefiracetam, coluracetam, and sunifiram. I haven't gotten around to trying any of them though. A lot of people do report increased dream vividness with them, so I wouldn't doubt they could be helpful. I bet they where they would really shine though is in helping you train your awareness better while you're using them so then you can push your own dream potential further. They really can lift the fog, so to speak, even if you don't think you have any.

Also, I think you'll be fine. Just don't do it too often lol. But those receptors can take it from time to time. And you can always take some nootropics to balance things out in the meantime.
