Uhhh.... does that really work? I've never heard of antihistamine, and wikipedia doesn't tell me it has anything to do with dreams. I didn't know what Chamomile was either, but it turns it I just didn't know the English word for it.... apparently both are used for sleeping aid though..... but do they enhance your chance of getting a proper dream and remembring it...?

A lot of antihistamines you buy (ie benadryl) for allergies contain the same active ingredient in sleep aids, diphenhydramine. I've noticed I dream vividly whenever I take allergy medications. Meds in general can cause dreams to happen more frequently, however, I'm not sure of the exact science behind it. Chamomile, it's a plant used in certain teas, and is considered to be a dream pontentiator. Just down double the dose of your allergy medicine containing diphenhydramine (not sure if that is spelled correctly) and you should get something. 2-4 teaspoons (I'm guessing here) should be about right. Don't worry about getting other weird affects as 2-4 teaspoons is hardly anything. Or just read "How to remember your dreams" here: www.lucidity.com/This is one of the more "out there" sites on lucid dreaming, but I couldn't find the other, more generally accessible site. I posted it a while back in this thread if you want to dig.

Did you take any meds or drink any tea? Haven't been on any meds for about four months now aside from a couple Tylenol once, so thats out. I've recently developed an addiction to Arizona Kiwi Strawberry tea, though I've only been drinking that once or twice a week and never around when I go to sleep. I also checked that I wasn't running a fever fairly often during that time, sense I usually have really strange dreams (usually involving alcohol or some drug I've never been on) when I've got even a slight fever.

Ok so I had this dream back in April I think, but I finally got around to typing it out today because it's so long. I doubt anyone will read it, but in case you do, be warned! It gets progressively weirder and weirder as it goes, until by the end it's just flat-out bizarre. Anyways, here it is:
I was driving in a bright yellow pick-up truck with some friends, looking for a place to 4-wheel. There was a construction site where a building was to be built. The workers were on break and all sitting in their white trucks eating their lunch. We were going to plow through it but one of the workers beckoned us over to him and asked if we wanted any pizza. We said sure, thinking he was going to give us some but he pointed us to a place where we could get some. Bummed, we drove off. Then I was with my parents and a large man dressed in a black suit who was some sort of body-guard for us. We were walking down a street with houses lined up to our right along it. We were trying to get to the beach on the other side of the houses. Seeing a gate, we entered through it, thinking it was a public access to the beach but it instead led into someones back yard. Then a pizza delivery boy came and asked if we had ordered pizza. My dad said yes because he didn't want to tell the kid that we weren't supposed to be there. He paid the kid and took the pizza. But the gate closed and we were now stuck locked in the back yard of these strangers' house. The owners then came home and we heard a gunshot from inside. Our body guard guy went to investigate but he never came back. I then ventured around the corner to find him sitting in a chair outside unconscious with his gun disassembled. I looked inside and saw a boy, maybe 12 years old or so, dead in the living room. The owners and presumeably his parents had shot him. I shook our body guard awake and we ran away with my parents down the beach. I was then at the trial for the boy's murder. I don't know how to explain it, but my parents' characters were no longer my parents. They were some other people but were the same people who had been there with me, if that makes sense. The dad was accused of the murder and because Judas, the evil man who had really killed the boy, had twisted the evidence and pulled strings to frame him. The dad knew he would not be able to be found innocent (even though he was) so he twisted the story to include Judas and his evil accomplices so justice would somewhat be fulfilled. He sacrificed himself to bring them down with him. The next scene was animated like a cartoon and the dad was laying in a coffin with darkness all around him. He looked straight at me and said something to the effect of "I always say the right thing" (insinuating that he said what was necessary to bring justice). He then leaned back into the darkness of the coffin and disappeared. Next I was with my roommates Josh and Arean driving. We came to an aquarium where a new breed of shark was housed. There were people above the tank of water but we were parked next to it, looking through the glass at it. The shark was huge and had two mouths, one inside the other - not like "Alien" though because the inside mouth was almost as big as the outer and didn't protrude nearly as far out as the ones in the movies. Anyways it jumped up and ate a man looking at it from above then escaped out fo the tank. It then transformed into an extremely fat man and got into our car and sat next to me. I contemplated trying to kill it with explosives that we had in the car but I decided not to. Then, just as my parents were no longer in the dream but their characters were, I too ceased to be a character in the dream, but I now dreamt through the eyes of a boy the same age as the one who was killed in the beginning. The boy was then standing there across from the shark-man and without even touching him, the boy killed the shark-man with his mind, knocking him down on his back. Blood streamed out from his folds of skin and the shark-man melted into the floor. The boy absorbed his powers and became stronger himself. The boy was then at his mother's wedding as she was about to kiss the groom. The boy's father had been sentenced to death and now his mother was getting married so soon... to Judas, the evil man who was responsible for the boy's father's death. Somehow he had escaped the law. They kissed and Judas looked over to the boy and gave him this evil grin. He was coming for him and destroying everyone close to the boy. I did not see this happen, but after that Judas killed his new wife and was now after the boy. The two were in a huge cavern and Judas told the boy that he was about to kill him, unaware of the boy's vast powers. In a burst of energy Judas then suddenly turned into a giant creature. His body was that of a snake, his chest a large blue rib-cage that looked as if it had been flattened out - the overall form was similar to that of a cobra. His arms and head remained human though. He now stood maybe 50 feet high. Judas towered over the boy, laughing, saying that the boy stood no chance against him. But to his surprise the boy transformed into a similar creature and they began fighting each other viciously in their new forms. The boy ultimately killed Judas who fell to the ground.

I had a dream last night that I was at the beach w/ a bunch of my family members. Rosario Dawson was also there and I guess we were dating or something. I thought it was real.

Last night in my dreams I killed a woman with my pocket knife and beat a guy to death with a fire-poker because they were trying to kill me and two young children. It was pretty intense.

Last night I dreamed that I was in an airplane that crashed into the ocean. It floated on the surface for a while, but then began to sink. Everyone inside was freaking out and rushing to the exit, and I was the only one who thought it looked cool.
It completely sank, then began to fill with water. I eventually had to get my little sister and swim to the surface. Kinda lame...
Anyone lucid dream on a regular basis?

That is pretty intense. I'm not gonna lie. I haven't had any vivid dreams as of late, because I've been exhausted.

One time I dreamed I was trying to help somebody (into the doctors office, I think.) And they were kicking and screaming as I tried to grab them. I finally got angry, punched the person in the face and woke up to a bang. My knuckles were bleeding because I had punched my bedpost.

Dang I had a crazy one last night. It's quite detailed but I'll give you folks the truncated version by skipping a lot of the earlier details.
I was sitting shotgun in my friend's car with two other guys in the back. We were joking around and laughing and having a good time. We came to this giant concrete bridge structure that went across a bay. It had a bunch of on/off-ramps and other roads connecting to it and winding all around it. It was a vast structure. Anyways we were driving over it and took some of the secondary ways, moving fast up and down them. It felt as if we were on a roller-coaster. But the one we were on abruptly ended before we could stop. We launched off and splashed into the ocean. Our car was filling up with water and sinking. Before we could get out what I can only describe as an explosion of darkness filled the sky, turning everything black. I heard a voice saying, "for men there shall be darkness, and for women there shall be light." At that instant what appeared to be a nuclear explosion from the land re-illuminated the sky. Our car sank to the depths of the ocean with us in it, where it was once again dark except a bunch of neon DNA strands about one-to-two feet tall that danced in the water. I was then somehow reincarnated as an unborn child, floating there in the womb, again in darkness but a certain comfortable darkness. And no, I do not do drugs!
