On Ebay there are lots of things that say they can help you lucid dream, like this African dream herb. But I found something this morning that really caught my attention. It was about how the Egyptians achieved lucidity in there religions. The person that is selling it is one of those people that do magic, please don’t just put don’t buy it because of that because I don’t believe in magic but well you know it worth a shot. This Egyptians lucid dreaming kit has been brought over 100 times and she has no negative feedback. Also I sent her a email and it has got nothing to do with sleep paralysis and she has 4-5 lucid dreams a week even though she stopped using this method because it has sunk in. She also said that out of them 100 people everyone has lucid dreamed at least 3 times a week. Now for the price, the price is just £15 or $25 thats pritty good. But I am still not sure about it, I would like to get some views off you guys first.
You can use whatever you think it will help you but take Buddhist for example, they are practicing lucid dreaming for so long and they don’t use anything but they own power of the mind; meditation and focus…
I would suggest to not buy it. My reasons are simply these:
While you may have lucid dreams, you’ll be dependent of this kit instead of your own willpower.
You might get to the point where you rely on kit so much, it’ll be the only way you can lucid dream.
Also, after taking it for some time, it might lose its effects.
So, while supplements are a good thing, the best way to lucid dream is with your own mind. It just seems a little too good to be completely true. I’d recommend getting some experience with LD’ing before you try any supplements.
From a down to earth perspective, people on sites like that often recruit other or make dozens of profiles to boost their own reputation. It may not be an unreasonable price, but you should also do research into what specific kind of herb it is. Take the popular St. Johns wort, for example. Many people on perscription medications would face serotonin toxicity from this supplement (literally-brain poisoning). Just for your own sake, always make absolute positive assurance that it won’t impact yourself. Don’t just take the word of people on the internet (ironic with this post, I know).
Also, MagykKatte’s reasons are perfectly reasonable in that the advantages of acheiving lucidity with your mind alone outweigh taking supplements. I know this amount of work never sounds appealing, but I really do believe that it’s a beginner mistake to try and find “quick fixes” to acheive lucidity. What Db-FTS said is perfectly true. Tibetan buddhists were among the first historically documented lucid dreamers, who’s success was revered by stephen Laberge, who we can thank for bringing lucid dreaming into mainstream knowledge. I recomend doing it the good old fashioned way
