Are there lucid dreaming pills?

There are lucid dreaming pills on the market for a long time, these pills are made with multiple ingredients that improve your sleep, recall, awareness, and more.

There are multiple brands that have been focusing on this product for a good while, but there are also pills that improve your recall, awareness, and more with only 1 ingredient and I will go over all these pills.

Top 5 lucid dreaming pills

These are in order from my best experience to my worst experience and this is based on my opinion. You may have other experiences with them.

  1. Huperzine-A
  2. Galantamine
  3. LucidEsc
  4. DreamLeaf
  5. Lucidimine

Huperzine-A

Huperzine-A is a natural compound from the Chinese club moss “Huperzia Serrata”. This lucid dreaming pill helps with your memory and learning, it is better called as a brain boost. I have used this supplement for a long time because it helped me get lucid a lot.

  • Vivid dreams.
  • More awareness in dreams.

Negatives of huperzine-A

  • Diarrhea.
  • Heavy head (not a headache).
  • Restless sleep.

How to use huperzine-A?

When you are using Huperzine-A use at least 200mcg to a maximum of 400mcg. When you take more than 400mcg you probably feel nausea and maybe struggle to fall to sleep.

I recommend you using this an hour before bed or during a wake back to bed.

Galantamine

Galantamine is a natural compound from the popular Caucasian snowdrop. This lucid dreaming supplement increases your memory, recall, dream intensity, and more. I have used this product for some time and have seen great results, but it felt less powerful as Huperzine-A, and that’s why it is in second place.

DreamLeaf

DreamLeaf is another lucid dreaming pill created by lucid dreamers and instead of 1 pill you have 2 different kinds of pills, you may remember these pills from The Matrix. The ingredients of these pills are valerian root, mugwort, alpha GPC, choline bitartrate, and huperzine-A. This pill is almost identical to LucidEsc and has the same results as mine, but instead of using the pill once you have to use one before bed and the other in a wake back to bed. Have used them for a short period of time and stopped using them, because it was an effort for me to do one before bed and the other when I woke up in a wake back to bed. The reason was, that the pills are pretty big and require water, and I don’t have water next to my bed.

Lucidimine

Lucidimine is a lucid dreaming pill that uses galantamine instead of huperzine-A. The ingredients of this pill are alpha GPC, choline CDP, Choline Bitartrate, and galantamine. This is by far the most unique lucid dreaming pill out there because it has galantamine combined with other ingredients such as alpha GPC.
