      Exclamation Green Tea

      Hi everyone, I was wondering. I drink green tea every night before bed, and I was wondering if it would affect anything with recall or attaining lucidity. I have been in kind of a dry spell, and looking for ways to end it.

      Thanks!

      I drink green tea at least once a day and it hasn't really affected my lucid dreaming in any way that I can tell.

      I tried to find other threads about green tea and really didn't see much but I did find the following about "peppermint" tea:

      Green tea contains EGCG, which is supposed to improve memory. It's cited as a useful supplement by dream researcher Thomas Yuschak and is also an ingredient in the Dreamboost product. I personally take it in tablet form, as I don't like the taste of green tea.

      last night i had a double-shot of green tea and in teh morning i had 2 very vivid dreams, andthat night i tried concentrating on my penial gland and my body felt weird at times like everything was flowing in it in a tranquil way, try them either way, no better research than through experience.

      Chamomile tea will help you sleep.
      This was that cult, and the prisoners said it had always existed and always would exist, hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R'lyeh under the waters, should rise and bring the earth again beneath his sway.

      This is very interesting. Who is the manufacturer and what was the dosage? Is it the EGCG that's effective?

      I also wonder if it's the little bit of caffeine that's doing the trick...

      drinking green tea during the day will help with dreams at night. recall mostly.

      I tried a cup of Yerba maté during WBTB and I think it kept me a bit too awake to enter the dream state. When I woke up this morning, I felt as if I had already had 2 cups of coffee. From now on, I'll save the teas containing caffeine for the morning and early afternoon.

      Yerba Mate is good for doing things in the day but doesn't really do anything to help in the dream department
