dreams are neat

I have fascinating, elaborate and sometimes awesome dreams just about every night. I lucid dream a few times a week on average, sometimes multiple times a night. It seems like I have been getting "better" at it over the past 6-8 years since I can ever remember having a lucid dream and subsequently researching/discovering what they were.
Anyone consistently having crazy/awesome/fascinating etc. dreams? Anyone lucid dream often? Do you have different techniques you use to induce/control lucid dreaming experiences?
Also I'd like to add I sometimes take melatonin (usually 10mg) and it really seems to amplify the bizarre and complex aspect of dreaming and sometimes makes them more vivid. I don't always take it though, and have crazy/awesome dreams and lucid dreams without it.

I have been taking melatonin now for about 2 months and I totally agree. It seems like my dreams have been much more in depth and vivid than ever before. It puts me into a very quick deep sleep. I love it though.

The claim that DMT is produced by the pineal gland, or the brain in general, is unfounded; it's only speculatory by Dr. Strassman.

I was under the impression it was pretty much established DMT is produced naturally by our brain in such situations as dreaming and near death/end of life experiences.

your anecdotal evidence is your dreams?

Didn't Terrance McKenna used to make the joke "everybodies holding" in reference to the naturally produced DMT inside us all? I am quite certain he did make this joke, I saw it on a video somewhere. Youtube?

Yes, i have had dreams that were nothing but kaleidoscopic hyperspace inter dimensional energy dissention before...... probably at least 50 that were just that.... The Similarity between what I dream, and what I have known to love as DMT is waaaaaay to close to be just a coincidence.
And yes I did say ANECDOTAL evidence, not absolute scientific evidence.

Interesting. And which part of "We lack the proper enzymes" do you disagree with?

DMT is found in minute quantities in humans but there is no evidence that it's produced in the pineal gland or has anything to do with dreams or the death process, that's all pure speculation.

was this before or after you ingested DMT? now that i've smoked DMT a number of times i sometimes have dreams where i have similar experiences to those afforded by smoked DMT but that didn't happen previously to having tried it.

Even if DMT is produced in our brains (which at this point is not proven fact) it's still very improbable that one chemical is solely responsible for producing the experience we call dreaming. There's a lot more going in there.
Some people just want to believe what they want to believe though... and people are generally attracted to simple answers. DMT- yup, that explains it all.. easy enough.

OMG i didnt know such flamage could arise from my seemingly non aggressive words....
I Dream therefore I am. I don't KNOW that dmt causes it, I just suspect it. I love you all nonetheless of how or why it does occur.

I always have to correct my friends on how DMT already found in your body does not make you trip, in your dreams or otherwise.
The only thing i suspect is that it is released in measureable quantities when you are born and when you are on your deathbed. But this is completely unfounded (that i know of).

a few weeks ago I had a very vivid dream, and when I awoke, i was having vivid hallucinations of an earthquake happening in my room.
I could feel the bed shaking violently and the flag on my ceiling was turned into a piece of the roof cracking open, until it turned back into a flag and i could move and tell that it was all a hallucination. no one else felt such quake.
I can now beleive DMT is involved with the dream state.

you know i think this "dmt found in your body" thing is just as bogus as dmt making you dream
unless someone here can pull some DMT out of their piss or hair follicles or dead skin or nails or can extract DMT from a dead relative
