Thread: Using supplements ONLY to get started, is it possible?

Hello! I know that something simmilar might have been asked before but I needed to be very sure.

I've tried now for some time (about 8 years) to lucid dream on a regular basis, I did all sort of rituals to reach that goal (dream diary, meditation, reality checks, various techniques and so on) but unfortunately I've never been able to get across this one point where lucid dreams actually start happening more regularly and not just rarely and at random.

Well I have tried a lot of things exept for one: Supplements.

I understand there are various substances that promise better dream recall and lucid exyperiences and I was wondering something profound: Is it possible to use such supplements (carefully and reasonable of course) to sort of get started?

My idea was to use supplements such as 'galantamine' for example, in order to have lucid dreams and then use my dream as a means to encurage more lucid experience by using self-affirmation techniques (I understand this is even more efective when performed in a lucid dream). Once I enter a dream I will not distract myself by flying about or going after some immature fantasies but I will use the lucid dream to meditate and build up a 'will' to have more lucid dreams; simmilar to daytime meditations actually..

Like that, so I imagine, the dosis of the supplement can be reduced from week to week until its not needed anymore in order to have regular lucid dreams.. is my thinking flawed or could something like that work out?

Thanks for any kind of input!
