I thought it might be a good idea to put together a log where I detail my use of supplements and experiences. The supplements in the beginning that I will be using can be found in the Advanced Lucid Dreams book which many of you are familiar with. I plan to experiment with all of the supplements laid out in the book, except for L-Dopa, which seems to be the most dangerous from my perspective.

I have only been able to achieve lucidity through the use of WILD techniques and I have never used supplements for the purpose of dream manipulation before.

First Log:

The substances I used were 4mg of nicotine gum, a b-complex vitamin (which included 50 mg of choline, 110 mg b6, and various other b vitamins), and 1,500mg of L-Tryptophan.

I began the night by taking 1,500mg of L-Tryptophan for the purposes of causing REM-rebound. In the future I will be taking 5-HTP instead of the tryptophan (I'm just waiting for it to come in the mail).

I woke up after six hours of sleep and took the b-complex and began chewing the nicotine gum. I chose the gum since it absorbs faster than the patch.

I used the LudicdRemix track and my normal meditation afterwards. After falling asleep an hour after waking I did not have an LD, but I did have an extremely vivid journey/quest style dream. My dream recall was better than usual as well.

I think I failed to attain lucidity due to how groggy the L-Tryptophan made me feel, which made concentration more difficult.

Most of my logs will be done on the weekends, since that is when I can spend the most time sleeping. Please feel free to comment and leave any suggestions for supplements you would like to see me test out.
