Anybody here into nootropics for dream enhancement?
I'd like to hear about experiences and/or reviews.
galantamine: Two big thumbs up. Amazing, realistic and enjoyable lucid dreams. While taking galantamine I actually looked forward to falling asleep. Dreams were very interesting, detailed and vibrant. Lucid dreaming was attained on multiple nights. Wish that it was not quite so spendy, though.
But again with the usual disclaimers... everyone's different, your choices are your own, etc.
Anybody else have experiences to share?

I don't like to dream so I guess I'm saving money.
@codeWhisperer Interesting! I hadn’t heard of such a thing. 🤔
As a rule, I'm skeptical of anything labeled "suppliment" because if it's not a food or a drug, there's no way of knowing how safe it is for consumption or application. Doubly so for anything that claims to alter mental states.
The human brain runs exclusively on glucose, so I suggest apple juice before bed.
Cannabis use tends to make dreams harder to remember, if that helps any
@Pungent agreed. Each person must decide for themselves.
Galantamine is interesting to me because it is currently used (prescribed) for other brain-related things, such as treatment of cognitive decline in moderate cases of Alzheimer's. The fact that it has such a positive and dramatic effect on my sleep and my dreams makes it doubly appealing (for me, for others it may not have the same result or benefit)
YMMV. 🙂
@Pungent As for cannabis, not a user (yet)
My own experiences thus far:
Huperzine: For me, a terrible, horrible, no-good-very-bad experience. First time use, I skimmed along in a dream within a dream. Kept waking up into (what I thought) was my bedroom, in my house, only to find that I was actually still asleep and dreaming. Then it looped. When I finally woke up "for real" it was to a state of confusion (am I really awake now?) and mental exhaustion.
Waited a couple of weeks, tried it again, same experience.
