Thread: Supplements or Natural?

LD sups (essentially 5htp, Galantamine+choline, and AlphaGPC, and even more important : the yuschak's book) associated with a WILD/DEILD methodology brought me back to the LD game.
I am far from being a noob, I had my first LD 30 ago, but these two last years, I was less and less able to DILD so I decided to go to the 100% WILD.
The fact of reading the yuschak's book and starting LD supps at the same time I started to seriously go the the WILD/DEILD game strongly helped me to have many LD again.

I consider certain supplements as a very good WILD aid, but it doesn't only help to LD, it also enhances most of the LD, in therm of length and stability.

Natural vs supps?

I think we play with our brain chemistry when we practice WBTB, and even with some classical LD techniques.
I also think our brain chemistry changes when we are in a LD, sometimes the LD makes our brain chemistry change, sometimes some chemical changes in our brain make us getting lucid.

Indeed, I don't consider LD as a 100% natural phenomenon as we have to force it, and it results in some chemical modifications in our dreaming brain. (and for so called natural Lucid Dreamers, their brain is different)
So, if you use caffeine to wake you up in the morning, vitamins to help you for your daily schedule, nicotine to stay calm (and because you need it), alcohol to be cool when you go out to see friends, eat hamburgers and french fries because of the good smell, I don't see why not cleverly use supps for enhancing your LDs, if you do it with the knowledge it deserves.

Using supplements, AND reading books about how it works and how to use it safely and smartly can result in a better knowledge about the dreaming brain.

That's was my two cents about LD supps.

Only one of those things do i do (eat something because it smells good). All the others I don't use because they are not needed for life. Nicotine especially. But if you want to compare lding supplements to a drug that slowly kills you because of a temporary fix, go for it. I don't think they are that bad

Haha. I didn't mention the alcohol. It actually is good to have a little of it every once in a while. Probably not the best idea if you are only doing it to be cool. What are ya gonna do to he cool next? just joking (a little)
