Lucid Dream Pills:
Galantamine and Choline

There are two highly effective lucid dream pills rated as the best way to control your dreams through the use of herbal supplements. These are Galantamine and Choline. Let's look at these two dream pills individually and the effects they have on dream recall, dream intensity and the likelihood of inducing lucid dreams.

Galantamine (RD: 4mg)

Galantamine is a natural extract from the Red Spider Lily which improves cognitive function and both waking and dream memory.

The effects of Galantamine were discovered more than 3,000 years ago by the Ancient Greeks, when Homer described its effects of dream recall. It has also been used in China for centuries as a memory enhancer.

Today Galantamine is used to treat Alzheimer's Disease for its memory-enhancing properties. A common side effect is highly vivid dreams.

Choline (RD: 200-500mg)

Choline is an amino acid found in common foods like bananas and potatoes. The brain naturally converts it into acetylecholine, which causes greater awareness in dreams and vastly improved dream recall.

Perhaps the best way to experience a night of memorable, vivid dreams is to take both pills in combination. They do work well together. Just bear in mind that Choline pills are large!

Galantamine and Choline in Combination

Take your pills after 4-6 hours of sleep. That's quite important. Otherwise you may find it difficult to enter a deep sleep required to feel refreshed. What's more, your REM periods grow longer toward the end of the night, so this timing makes the most of your active dream phases.

Taking Galantamine and Choline vastly increases your chance of Wake Induced Lucid Dreams. As you drift back to sleep, you'll be treated to lots of hypnagogia and emerging dreams scenes. Focus your mind by incubating a lucid dream and entering the dream world consciously.

Precautions

Both Galantamine and Choline affect your brain chemistry, and in rare cases, side effects may occur. These may include sweating, nausea, vomiting - and, in high doses, diarrhea, loss of appetite and weight loss. If you notice any of these effects, you should discontinue use.

If you suffer from sleep paralysis, Galantamine can also increase the risk of micro awakenings. Indeed, this pill is more likely to create wake-to-lucid-dreams and sleep-paralysis-to-lucid-dreams.

However, if you fall asleep and miss the opportunity to get lucid, don't worry, because you will still embark on a night of highly vivid dreams. There could be further opportunities to become spontaneously lucid in these high-intensity dreams, especially if you are doing frequent reality checks.

Finally, these pills are intended for occasional use only. Trace amounts will remain in your system and a build-up will create unpleasant dream intensity. So, take them sparingly, perhaps once a month for some fascinating dream fun!

Galantamine & Choline Review

I asked my partner Pete to write his own review of taking Choline and Galantamine supplements together, as he's been taking them with some frequency lately:

"Over the past six months, I've tried these pills about a dozen times, perhaps fifteen. In every case, I've found a noticeable increase in the vividness of my visual imagination. It's hard to explain, but let me try:

Think of a bear, juggling a large number of grapefruit. As you read that sentence, a sort of faint invisible image of a the juggling bear appeared in your head.

Now, think of a lovely, furry, brown bear, juggling a large number of shiny yellow grapefruit. Watch the breeze ruffling through his fur, causing it to shimmer in the sun. The grapefruit are cascading over the bear's face, his expression wrought with focus and his tongue sticking out with concentration.

The difference is the second bear image would have been much more vivid. This increase of vividness is the specific effect that Galantamine pills have.

Do These Pills Facilitate Lucid Dreaming?

I have not been able to achieve any Dream Induced Lucid Dreams (DILDs) while under the effects of these pills. But I have, in each case, been able to achieve a Wake Induced Lucid Dream (WILD) effortlessly and easily.

I find the best results come when I leave the pill bottle in the bathroom. If I have to get up in the night to urinate, I will then take one pill and go back to bed. At that point, I lie very still and start telling myself the story of my upcoming lucid dream. In a way, I am dictating the rules of my dream, constantly reminding myself that I am in bed dreaming, and most importantly that I am the absolute master of the entire (dream) universe. With this procedure, I have been able to achieve a lucid dream every time.

The one problem is that if you're not very tired, or perhaps have not exercised in the day before, taking one of these pills before going to bed will make it difficult to get to sleep in the first place. Not impossible, it may just take a bit longer than usual, getting to sleep with all the visual fireworks going off. I recommend trying them either way."

You can buy Galantamine and Choline pills separately on Amazon. Taken together (and after 4-6 hours of sleep) they can significantly enhance your dream life. Just take them sparingly and, ideally, when you know you have a chance to sleep in the next day.
