I'm taking many many supplements these days. Whey protein, amino 1000, B complex, Multi-V, Vitamin C, Creatine, GABA (Gamma AminoButuryic Acid), and 5-HTP ('m not depressed, my mom just reccomended I take 5-HTP because she thinks it's a "miracle drug"). Anyway, as some of you may know GABA, at high doses, can really give you wild, even messed up dreams. I take about 2-4 grams per night, depending on how tired I already feel. Last night I think i took about 3.5grams right before going to bed. I also took a 5-HTP about 3 hours before going to bed, which is also known to alter your dreams. Anyway, big mistake at first, and almost satisfaction in the end. I couldn't fall asleep til 2:00AM, and when i finally fell asleep, it was only about 20 minutes and it ended with a nightmare. It was pretty crazy, I was alone the whole dream, it was dark, rainy, and it ended with lightning and me falling on the ground and i woke up jumping and my heart racing. What was weird was i saw pure white in my eyes for about 2 seconds before waking up. I woke up and felt scared shitless so i watched tv for about a half hour before trying to sleep again. It took almost another hour to fall back asleep (partly because my body wouldn't let me, and partly coz i was scared), at about 3am. All i know is all night i had the most messed up dreams, and when I woke up I could remember about 5-6 of them, which is a record for me. I woke up about 5 times this morning, because i hit the snooze button every 10 minutes. It's unexplainable, but every time i woke up i felt a different feeling, but i can't explain it. It almost felt unreal, good, weird. I felt like a new person today. I have been taking GABA for about 2 weeks and just had different dreams for a while, but last night I took 5-htp for the first time and that's what caused the crazyness. It's almost inner-reflection, because every dream had to do with someone i've been thinking about lately, each one in a seperate dream. One about who i'm secretly in love with, one about who i want to kick his ass, one about my best friend, and so on. I just thought i'd like to share this with anyone even though it's probably a pretty boring read. Anyway, give feedback if you'd like. I'm going to try the same thing tonight and see if i get same or different results.
