My dreams are far too entertaining, on the whole, to want to mess with the format. So I've never really bothered to do things like take "dream enhancers" (i.e. St. John's Wort) or learn to lucid dream.
Mostly let the narrative flow, because it's my mind attempt to consolidate past or predicted events with other possibilities.
the only dream enhancer that I know of is fish oil and I had mixed results
I do take Omega 3s.
it's doing somethhing but not enough imo
Yeah, straight-up fish oil.
I learned it because child-me entertained the Venom Spiderman arch of the 90s far too seriously.
I take it for other reasons, though.
the best way to control a lucid dream is to stay calm but good luck lol
And my dreamscape is the one place where I have absolute control.
yesterday my mind was so confounded my head started hurting for a solid 30 seconds
during the nap I had
and the very short lived lucid dream
My life is so boring, I look forward to the inspired chaos of my dreamscapes.
I can feel my left lobe surging with immense electrical activity as stupid and retarded as that sounds
I got way too excited yesterday
usually I fair better with lucid dreams
take it easy and fly away
not yesterday
maybe the heat fucked me
Thing is, I used to dream increadibly vividly, before I started on my current medications in '06. The trade-off was worth it, because it helped me level out, but since then I've been slowly but surely getting my dream powers back.
ehhh
for me regular vivid dreams are more rare
however lucid dreams half of them have overrealistic vividness to them
I can phisically feel the texture of cobblestones and other crap I touch
medication for what
hyperactivity?
No.
Ah, aye... mostly I go for the "earned my sleep" state.. but when I do the dreams I manifest are all the more hyperreal.
Depression.
Understandable
But also I couldn't get a full night's sleep.
I haven't touch midn altering medication yet
I hope I can go without it
just vitamins and minerals
Only things I go for is nicotine (vape in the modern), caffeine and a touch of wine.
sometimes I come home HANGRY but i aint taking no chillpill for that
ill just eat like a horse
oh yeah
Thing is, before getting on those meds, I once had a moment while trying to fall asleep (was attempting to learn meditation at the time), there was an incident where I ***felt*** the dark side calling to me. It was a really fucked-up moment, and ever since, I've never really been able to meditate.
maybe all that coke I drank 5 years straight must have fucked my head
