Thread: Green Tea Alpha Power*

I had been looking into foods that effect the mental state in hopes of locating a food that would "truly" alter the chances to lucid dream. With this I came across something so i gave it a shot, and was surprised with the results.

I found that green tea was long used by zen Buddhist's, because they understood that it had an amazing effect that allows the mind to be in a Relaxed Aware state. It actually lowers the Brain waves associated with Beta and boots those for Alpha state in most people depending on the strength of the tea.

Green Tea also contains caffeine that helps people be Alert and Awake, but in green tea it has a strange effect as it combines with l-theanine "Property of the Tea". This gives the drinker a more "aware" state rather then alert like you would expect from Coffee and here's where the magic starts. With the Alpha state of brain wave activity, and the aware state of mind given from the combination of Caffeine and l-theanine, you can have an interesting combination of relaxation & awareness.

This state of relaxation & awareness is perfect for lucid dreaming and most certainly WBTB or WILD.
I have been taking about 5-6 cups a day of Green Tea, and one cup 20-40 minutes before I go to sleep. Its been 4 days since I have started and I have had 2 spontaneous Lucid Dreams; both "Mid-day naps", and very Vivid Dreams at night.

I have also found that citrus will boost the effect of the tea, so I would recommend drinking some kind of juice after your tea for a boosted effect. Personally I have been drinking apple juice because of the benefits to lucid dreaming anyway.

I would love some people to give it a try and post some results with a combination of Green Tea + Apple Juice / Sleep or Nap.

Hopefully we will get some good results

Nice thread, thanks for posting. I love green tea. Eating berries/other antioxidant rich foods might be more effective than drinking apple juice though...didn't know if you knew that or not.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that berries are also very good like you say. Just don't eat them before the tea or it ruins its unique taste

Man, I wished I liked tea Like my favorite cartoon character, Iroh

Maybe there is a way to make tea tasty even for someone like me? I mean, without using 10 pounds of sugar

Try pomegranate honey instead of sugar. What don't you like about tea? There are so many different flavors, you can't find one that you like?

Green tea's great, but the problem is, I'm one of those people who just can't sleep after drinking caffine.
I have decaf green tea, but even that seems to keep me awake..

I just don't like the taste. I've only tasted two or three flavors though, so who knows, there might be one for me

Ok, I'm gonna try with some honey

I'll try this tonight. Will post the results tomorrow.

Good Luck

That's a very informative post. Thanks a lot for sharing. A natural way to induce lucid dreaming is much better than lucid dreaming pills with side effects. I would prefer a glass of apple juice or green tea any day to lucid dreaming pills.

Alright, sorry it took me so long to get back. Didn't have access to a computer yesterday.

I tried green tea again another night and it seemed to work very well. I think my recall had gone from 1 to 4 in that night, which is really damn good for a school night. Yesterday I didn't get a chance to have green tea before bed, however I did steal a few swigs of my mom's in the morning. Holy crap was I ever aware. I've been practicing being aware so that I can hopefully get better at DILD, and I think for about half of the school day I was almost always aware. That stuff really works.

Today I drank a cup when I got home. I'm going to try to take a cup right now and atleast one before I go to bed. I'll post results tomorrow.

Green tea is majorly used as weight loss remedy. It is also used as in treating skin aging & diseases. Extracts have been gaining popularity as key ingredients in skin care preparations designed to treat skin as an anti-aging compound. Green tea polyphenolic compounds have significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and recent studies suggest that these extracts help mediate ultraviolet radiation damage.

I didn't recall any dream last night when I tried this :/
