For lucid dreaming?
I read something briefly and found this to be quite interesting..
In my entire life I've had 3 true to life lucid dreams and it was such an amazing experience.

A friend of mine swears by mugwort for lucid dreaming.

She gathers it from the wild, dries and uses it. She is an experienced lucid dreamer and says it helps her almost as much as Dream Root (Silene capensis) and is more convenient.
Mugwort is something online herbalists carry for cheap. If you avoid legal highs places it can cost as little as perhaps $6 a pound.

I have tried mugwort about 3 times and no luck. I am still willing to experiment with it though. I have tried smoking the dried herbs.
I also took galantamine one night but nothing. Again, im willing to try it again in the future

Mugwort is a staple in my changa mixes, it adds an edge to it that it would otherwise miss. Very dreamy stuff even before you add other alkaloids.

haven't tried mugwart i don't think - how much dosage is used for that, and is that just used as a capsule?
i've tried a few things, including some dream herb (was it calea z or something?), the dream water thing from wal-mart, vitamin b-6, melatonin, and a couple other things i forgot. the calea z was mostly a dud. the dream water was also mostly a miss, though it enhanced dreams slightly. THAT SAID, i did once, ONCE, start to float outside my body from it then got excited and snapped back into my physical one. it was the first time i ever had an out of body experience, and the sensation of having two left legs at once, lmao. i never knew that was actually possible to feel - when you start to go "out of body", you can still feel your physical body even as your dream body exits, so it's like you're feeling two bodies at the same time. though they feel a bit different too. the dream body feels... vibratey? sort of like a sensation that you always feel, but never really notice because it's just a part of the bundle of sensations you usually feel clustered together, not separate from the rest. if that makes sense.
almost as if your dream body and physical body are usually totally overlapping each other, so you are always feeling your dream body, it's just you never notice this or what a dream body feels like until it's apart from your physical location. that said, this was only the vague impressions i got from like... 10 very exciting seconds before it all came snapping back together. 
vitamin b6 and melatonin do seem pretty good for enhancing dream vividness and weirdness though. as a bonus, it's good for general wellness and covid prevention! >_>b

I took melatonin for awhile a few years ago, but quit because the dreams, for me, were uncomfortable.
I did switch over to magnesium though. No lucid dreaming, but boy does it help with sleep.

hmm, i've never noticed an uncomfortableness to the dreams myself. i used to have bad d reams as a kid and teenager, but no longer. i think how unpleasant your dreams get has to do not with what you take, but with your own life situation - your dreams are the way your deeper self communicates with your conscious mind, warning you of things that need to be looked into, or offering insight into your life situation using symbolism.
for instance, my own dreams were often fraught with nightmares in my overbearing, highly conservative and religious family, despite how much i loved them and thought it was what i wanted. then i hit puberty and discovered i was gay, and things got even uglier for me, both in waking reality and in my dreams, until i accepted myself for what i was - at that point i stopped getting nightmares except for rare occasions, though mostly ordinary dreams.
once i moved away from my family entirely, my dream life stopped getting nightmares entirely and my dreams took on much more interesting aspects - sometimes i'd interact with people from other worlds entirely, helping them out, going on adventures, that sort of thing. my dreams are far more peaceful than they ever were as a child, where i'd often dream of being chased by things like giant tornadoes or attacked by house sized spiders. or as a teen where i'd dream of driving a car down a road and not being able to use the brakes, losing control and trying not to crash. (feeling helpless and out of control in my life, perhaps? it was a very common dream theme.)
