Dreams

Red Rock's Avatar
Several months ago my MD suggested a vitamin supplement program for overall health. Part of the regimen includes the supplement St. John’s Wort. Research on the web indicates that this supplement is a mood enhancer. However, I have also found that it is a dream enhancer.

Now, I know that I normally dream but, since taking this supplement, I awake remembering them. These dreams have been WILD. Some have been very erotic while others have been disturbing, especially those involving my children.

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced similar instances with St. John’s Wort specifically or just dreaming in general.

It doesn't sound like something I would want to be taking.

That sounds like exactly what I would want to be taking.

I always have very vivid dreams and I typically remember at least the basics about the dream and the feelings that come with them. Normally if I wake up, lay still and think about the dream with my eyes closed I remember more about it. I don't take this supplement, I have just always been this way.
