Anyone have any instances where Vitamin B6 helped them with having more vivid/memorable normal and/or lucid dreams?
As I found a 100mg supplement of only B6, so I'm gonna see if it really does have any effects.
So many vivid dreams last. I mean, they were probably the most vivid dreams I've had. They've been running through my mind all day.
In the middle of the night, I was slightly awoken. Something must have gone off in my brain when this happened.
I quickly drifted back to sleep. I found myself in a chair in the ground floor of my home, which I spend quite a bit of time in. It was eerily dark, missing the usual glow from various electronics. My living room and dining room had fluorescent panel lighting like my kitchen, but they were all turned off. Looking closer, some of the panels had LEDs lining one or two of its corners.
These were no ordinary LEDs. They were that certain blue that I fancy, a specific wavelength that interacts with your eyes differently and gives them a blurry look. In fact, it's my favorite color of light. I remarked to my brother and his friend, who happened to be there, that I found it really interesting. I then heard a strange screeching-insect sound from the corner of the room, and was freaked out a bit.
I found myself in the same chair, but during the daytime. The blue LEDs and panel lighting were gone, and my house was more or less normal. I remarked to my family that I had just had a strange dream. I'm not quite sure what happened after that.
Later, just before being awoken, I had another dream. I was at a theme park, about to get on a water ride. I saw some friends of mine and joined them in their point in the "line". There wasn't actually a line or even other people, but that didn't matter to me. Walking up concrete stairs, I fell and "broke my nose". Quite unlike actually breaking my nose, there was a part at the front of my nose that I was now able to move which I assume I was not supposed to be able to move. I then ate a Swedish Meatball sandwich.
Later in the day, while think about these dreams, I realized something. They all have something in common. They were all vivid, and they were short. But there is something more to them.
They all had very, very obvious ways initiate a lucid dream.
In the first dream, a scene that I see frequently was changed drastically but was still recognizable, and had something that always catches my attention. (The blue lights)
In the second dream, I had a false awakening.
In the third dream, my attention was drawn to my nose after I was tripped under unknown circumstances. My RC of choice is to pinch my nose and breath in. (Also, from my experience, Swedish meatballs are larger than two centimeters in diameter, and I'm pretty sure the Swedish word for sauce is not pronounced "sauce-ka")
I think my subconscious was actively trying to contact me.
Last nights dream: Smoking weed in a siberian bounce house.
Two words reverberated through my head: Zastava Borneo. Too bad it means jack shit.
I had a space marine dream.
The emprah is proud of me
Today will be a good day.

I can say I have before.

Obviously an Indonesian communist uprising is inevitable.
I had a really weird sort of sleep paralysis coming out of a dream that was like Trouble in Terrorist Town (if you know it), but it went on for days, and it was in real life. I was waking up and was super scared that I was about to be killed by the traitor (bad guy who is trying to kill everyone else, but you don't know who he is until he starts attacking you), and then sort of woke up IRL and had a few seconds of a horrible struggle to be able to move my head. It was scary.
I had a dream that I was a government agent of some secret sector that specialized in killing people in their dreams. It was pretty cool.
Last night I dreamt I was watching this documentary about medieval knights... and fuck it was disturbing. These two knights were taking part in this jousting tournament and the one who lost had his intestines and guts cut out by the other and was forced to lie face-first in them on the ground. Then all these white worm things started to come out of his intestines and he was eating them and they were all going up his nose and OH MY GOD fuck fuck fuck how did I think up this stuff while I was asleep?!
I woke up feeling physically sick

good thing I've been absent from them for a bit. wouldn't want to get caught up in all that.
has anyone ever yelled in their sleep?
I hardly have a history of doing weird things in my sleep, but I've yelled in my sleep maybe two or three times in my entire life. I realize that it has only happened when I'm not sleeping in my room at home, and it's also when there are other people in the same room or bed.
This past weekend I stayed over at a friends house with another buddy of mine, and I ended up passing out on the floor at around 3am. At ~10:30am or so I sat up quickly and yelled "WHAT!" at the top of my lungs. My friends said that's the loudest they've heard me yell. I think I was having a bad dream about having an argument with my mother, and it was something about financial aid and college. That's all I remember.
Anyone recommends any good e-book about lucid dreaming?

I don't yell, but I do laugh hard if a dream is hilarious enough (and wake up because of it + wake up everyone else)

Had a dream last night that I was the car driver of queen Elizabeth, it was strange

I talk and yeall sometimes when I'm asleep, but it's all nonsense. My brother said that it once sounded like I was ordering people around in a foreign language that he couldn't place. Another time I kept saying real words, but the sentences made no sense :v:
I'm very amused by this. I guess I have to get a smartphone with a sleep talk app :v:
As far as I know I don't talk in my sleep. My friend though, he had talked in binary code multiple times.
I had my first lucid dream.
I was running through a warehouse like area, there were crates everywhere. Everything was dark and blurry with no lights on. Finally I ran into a back room. I looked around, there was a door way, pitch black inside and looking at it made me nervous, turning around I just saw all the crates stacked up and the darkness.
I walked towards the pitch black and then I suddenly stopped, looking down at my hands. I moved them around (sort of like when you get the HEV suit in HL2) and looked back up, a voice echo'd through "stop." I suddenly willed my self to move away from the door and I walked back to the way I came. There was a light switch there now and I [i]wanted[/it] to flick it. I just turned it on because I wanted it to come on and all of a sudden my vision blanked out as the lights flicked on. Then I woke up in a sweat.
Anyone ever had an experience where you wake up in the middle of the night and hallucinate from just waking up?
For example, I woke up last night and I started freaking out because everything in the corner of my eyes started to darken and everything looked like I was in my living room when I was actually in my bedroom. I couldn't tell the difference because it looked so real. Then I snapped out of it.
In a lucid dream last night, I created a syringe that would allow me to control my dream better. Right as the needle touched my skin, the dream faded to an image of a news article, claiming that the state of Tenessee proved that creating objects to aid in lucid dreaming was not possible. Maybe needles was a bad choice.
Goddammit. I had a dream that lasted two weeks. I hate those dreams. Plus I had like 12 false awakenings, which oddly corresponded with when I would have actually slept during those two weeks.
Having a long dream messes with your mind. Having false awakenings during a long dream REALLY mess up your mind.

What life did you live this time?
Had a another MILD last night. I look at someones smartphone to call a friend after a club and it was like a HTC desire HD but with the iPhone interface. Out of reaction I did the nose test and it passed. Walked around in my dream for a bit and I was unable to go anywhere different because the door trick would not work. So I woke up soon after. Pretty vivid dream though before I wad lucid.
Had a kewl night for dreaming.
I was looking in a mirror, and it was cool.
My fingers were like pieces of wax in a lateral lava lamp.
[QUOTE=Birdman101;34320529]What life did you live this time?[/QUOTE]
Took a tour of a deserted island, accidentally got left on the island. Survived for two weeks before I was rescued.
Not that fun, really.

I think my longest dream is 24-32 hours. I was so confused when I woke up and felt messed up for hours afterwards. I can only imagine what it's like after a 2-week dream :tinfoil:

That's not my longest, either. My record is three months, which is not a record I particularly want to break.
Doesn't really long dreams like that work your brain out pretty hard? I mean trying to compensate the whole time difference from real life.
By the way I've had an interesting dream that lasted a week. Can't really remember any of it, just how long it was.
What do you mean by feeling messed up after these long dreams? Does it feel like real life is hard to grasp, or is it more like feeling sick?

Yeah, it's not a particularly fun experience. Most of that day was just kind of shitty in general. Not because it was a bad day, but my brain was like confused and trying to compensate and stuff like that.

It's hard to explain. You ever had a dream where you woke up and it kind of took you a minute to gather your surroundings and determine that what just happened to you was a dream? It's like that but a lot more...intense. Harsher, I guess.
