OTHER METHODS
Food and Drink
There are various foods and drinks that you can
consume which seem to have some effect on
sleeping and dreaming. Note that for most of
these there is no explanation or scientific
study of how they work, and some might just be a
placebo.
Don't go overboard with the consumption of any
of these, as overdosing could have nasty effects
(well, milk should be safe (not for allergics)).
Don't experiment without accumulating enough
knowledge first. The authors in no way encourage
the use of legal or illegal drugs.
Warm milk includes the amino
acid
tryptophan
which is a precursor for the hormone serotonin,
and has been proven to help you fall asleep
Vitamin B6
and others of the
B group
are important for neuronal functions
Melatonin
is another hormone with neuronal effects
5-HTP
or
L-5-HTP
is a supplement that is related to serotonin,
which some claim has induced lucid dreaming on
approximately half the nights it is taken.
Plants:
Artemisia
vulgaris
Hypericum
perforatum
Korean
Ginseng
Salvia
divinorum
Valeriana
officinalis
The following can be used to create a (more or
less) lucid dream-like state:
Dissociatives & Hallucinogens: (Again: Not
recommended!)
Amanita
