Researchers from the University of Adelaide has found that taking vitamin B6 could help people to recall their dreams. The study included 100 participants from around Australia taking high-dose of vitamin B6 supplements before going to bed for five consecutive days. The results show that taking vitamin B6 improved people’s ability to recall dreams compared to a placebo,” says research author Dr Denholm Aspy, from the University’s School of Psychology.
Vitamin B6 did not affect the vividness, bizarreness or colour of the dreams, and sleep patterns. The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study saw participants taking 240mg of vitamin B6 immediately before bed. Prior to taking the supplements, many of the participants rarely remembered their dreams, but they reported improvements by the end of the study.
The average person spends around six years of their lives dreaming. If we are able to become lucid and control our dreams, we can then use our dreaming time more productively. Lucid dreaming, where you know that you are dreaming while the dream is still happening, has many potential benefits. For example, it may be possible to use lucid dreaming for overcoming nightmares, treating phobias, creative problem solving, refining motor skills and even helping with rehabilitation from physical trauma.
In order to have lucid dreams it is very important to first be able to recall dreams on a regular basis, vitamin B6 may be one way to help people have lucid dreams. Vitamin B6 occurs naturally in foods like whole grain cereals, legumes, banana and avocado, spinach, potato, milk, cheese, eggs, red meat, liver, and fish.
