Melatonin.
Melatonin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many melatonin users have reported an increase in the vividness or frequency of dreams. High doses of melatonin (50mg) dramatically increased REM sleep time and dream activity in both narcoleptics and normal people.[22] Many psychoactive drugs, such as LSD and cocaine, increase melatonin synthesis.[22] It has been suggested that nonpolar (lipid-soluble) indolic hallucinogenic drugs emulate melatonin activity in the awakened state and that both act on the same areas of the brain.[22] In a 2005 editorial of the British Journal of Psychiatry, Ben Sessa suggested that psychotropic drugs be readmitted in the field of scientific enquiry and therapy.[23] Melatonin, being two endogenous hallucinogenic indoles like N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), is likely to be research priorities in this reemerging field of psychiatry.[24] I take one every 2nd night and have the best lucid dreams, I used to use a brainwave generator to induce lucid dreaming but it always left me feeling like I hadn't slept, with melatonin I feel like I got twice the sleep and wake up without needing caffeine to get me going.

A 2mg pill of melatonin used to help me sleep well, and I usually didn't wake up at all during the night, but that doesn't seem to happen anymore for me. I've considered upping the dose, but I've heard there's some addiction potential to it.
5-HTP used to help me sleep before too, but not any more as well. I guess I'm destined to be an insomniac forever. I can't say I've had any kind of dreams out of the ordinary when I've taken melatonin though. 5-HTP is another story, though. I've had some TRULY disturbing dreams on that.

I'm pretty sure all the lsd/mushrooms/ayahuasca/cactus I've done/do is another reason my dreams are so lucid.
I know weed definitely kills dreams for me, after i stopped smoking I started to get really lucid again. I used to take melatonin years ago but I built up a tolerance and started taking more and more until it did nothing so now I'm just taking 1 every 2nd day and if I start to build a tolerance again I'll start taking 1 of every 3 days etc...

melatonin is awesome.
bevvy - you can buy it at a natural health store. just look at the ingredients and make sure you are getting only melatonin and no added shit. no that expensive. 10-20 bucks a bottle, i'd say. i take two before i go to sleep a few nights out of the week. can't say i've noticed different dreaming, but yeah, puts me out and i stay out until morning. i've also taken it at the last two shambhalas i've been to. get a nice 6-8 hour nap and helps relax my body after partying.

Ok, wow, I had some insanely fucked up dreams last night. Did some melatonin and smoked a doob before bed. It made me feel like shit, and those were some of the most bizarre dreams I've had since I stopped taking 5-HTP. Some of them didn't make sense, and some were just.. I dunno, fucked up. No more melatonin + doobie for me.
