the usual cause of dream recall is a lot of protein within 3 hours of bedtime
if you want to make it happen deliberately, try taking 500mg of tyrosine or phenylalanine right before bedtime. zero sleep, all the dreams

You're an absolute bucket of obscure knowledge! 😂🫂 my dreams are quite vivid enough but should they go bland, I'll try to remember that.
i did this a very long time ago, i think i was still a teenager... was an accident
i can also warn you about taking too much melatonin, that will give you some FREAKY dreams, i mean above and beyond normal
Oh yep, melatonin & I have had our meetings in the past. Not for me 😅 it's almost as crazy as that quit-smoking drug that I can't the remember name of.
oh i think i messed with that one... welbutrin, i forget ... yes, bupropion... yes that one makes some crazy dreams too... was originally targeted at being an antidepressant
was kinda cool actually, but i think i remember the dream effect was too intense, even daily dosing triggered it iirc
Welbutrin, that's it. When I learned that was also an antidepressant I wondered how people can wander around feeling like that all the time.
yeah it's a stimulant... kinda makes you a bit loopy but you basically just know it's the drug and throw it away
i forgot, it was known by some other name in australia and it's a quit smoking drug
it works, kinda, at that... but i stopped smoking because i was having a whole rainbow of problems related to my type 2 diabetes that included tachycardia and muscle weakness, and stopping smoking just eliminated that problem and i feel 1000x better but still have muscle weakness because that is a "type 2 diabetes" symptom... yohimbe kinda helps a bit with the extreme edge of it, the cramps, but my muscle weakness is still stopping me from doing any serious resistance exercise
