I find that if I double my regular dose of trazodone and mirtazapine before bed, I always achieve a memorable and lucid dream state. It is strange, and often has a plot. I am more able to realize that I am dreaming, and the dreams themselves are more vivid (improving recall). Once I realize I'm dreaming, like this, I can generally try to do anything I want, with a decent chance of it manifesting within the dream experience.
When I last tried it, I spent most of the night at a hotel in a city in Kenya, with my mom and my sister. I was harrassed throughout each day, in different ways, by a character named Gordon. For example, he steals my room key on one of the days. I debated several people, including my mom, claiming that I was dreaming and they were but imaginations (usually they seemed not to comprehend the gravity of this). A variety of people I've known in real life made appearances, sometimes modifying the "plot" meaningfully.
Each "day" that I woke up in, inside the dream, initially felt normal, but I'd inevitably remember earlier "days" in this dream period and conclude that I was dreaming. This happened all night as I slept and occasionally truly woke for short periods. One of the climax events in the last dream was me flying some sort of jet/spaceship to the moon, and it felt incredible, stimulating, and "realistic" (I'd just chosen to do it and the dream world sort of allowed it to come together and do it). Anything becomes open.
Anyone else get this kind of thing with dreams? Especially lucid dreams?
