So you might want to try playing around with when using the patches. What Yuschak talks about doesn't make much sense to me as heavy smokers who go on the patch to try and quit report crazy dreams (even without the galantamine, which helps keep nicotine receptors healthy). It also seems to me that smokers report having way more vivid dreams than non-smokers and I've read something about nicotine withdrawal causing crazy vivid dreams on its own. Don't treat Yuschak's words as gospel. For example, he says piracetam kills dream recall but there are plenty of people who report the exact opposite, including people who claim chronic vivid/lucid dreams as a result of piracetam megadosing (12g/day).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536455483197919928.post-61676227995832711312008-11-27T22:07:00.000-08:002008-11-27T22:07:00.000-08:00Follow up:Well, unfortunately I didn’t have any lu...Follow up:<br><br>Well, unfortunately I didn’t have any lucid or particularly vivid dreams with the 5-HTP before sleep /Nicotine + Galantamine WBTB method .

My brother was trying to quit smoking years back and I've never forgotten the stories he told me about his dreams when he was on the patch. I had planned to do a little experiment myself, applying a nicotine patch and seeing what would happen, but after further research, I decided I'd probably feel very crappy for doing so since I do not smoke cigarettes.Bennoreply@blogger.com
