Hello /x/,

I am working on a personal project. The details aren't critical, but I guess I could share if there's any interest. I am an unmedicated schizophrenic and as such I have bizarre dreams often enough. However, my question for you is this:

Is there any way to enhance the vividness and strangeness of one's dreams? I would prefer meditative or supplement methods but I'm interested in anything.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

1. Iodine tinctures. Nascent, Lugol's, or SSKI. These are for vividity/lucidity.
2. Melatonin. Also for lucidity. However, it comes with a warning. Search for exogenous in the archives. At the same Time, I ran into a guy here who's been using melatonin for 15 years straight with zero ill effects. So maybe it's a 50/50 for now.
3. ZMA. This one is for increasing the vividity of your dreams. Be careful though. Whatever it is that you have on your mind at the moment of falling asleep is what you'll end up dreaming about. So you may wanna avoid any disturbing content around bedtime.
4. Choline bitartrate and magnesium. Same as above, except with zero warnings. Well, save for the magnesium. Magnesium citrate will help make you regular. It'll literally clean out your colon.
5. Calea zacatechichi. This one is for slowing down the passage of Time while you're dreaming. So that way you'll be able to lengthen the duration of your dreams. There might be at least 2 other herbs out there that do the same. However, I'm unable to recall their names.
6. Benadryl. Same as 3 and 4. Except this one comes with a huge warning. It has the capability to plunge your Astral body all the way down to one of the Hell realms. Just like with number 5, it too will induce Time dilation. However, I'm unaware as to the whether the exact mechanism behind it works the same way for both.
7. Galantamine and Huperzine A. 2 examples of lucid dreaming supplements. There's actually a plethora of them out there. Look for the book Advanced Lucid Dreaming: The Power of Supplements.
8. Nicotine patches. It's been ages since I learned about this one, but it might be for lucidity. The same goes for LSD.
9. Chantix. For increasing vividity.
10. Meditation. For lucidity. Specifically, zazen, vipassana, and samatha.
11. Dream yoga. Again, for lucidity. Look for the following 2 books. The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep. And the other one is Dream Yoga and the Practice of Natural Light.

Just watched a video on sleep and this guy recommend boiling an organic banana peel. The peel itself is full of stuff like magnesium (which this anon also mentions ). Basically make a tea from the banana peel and drink before bed. Not only does it provide excellent sleep but some have mentioned that it gives them incredibly vivid dreams
