Certain supplements have been studied for their potential to enhance dream recall, vividness, and even induce lucid dreaming:

1. Galantamine: This is a natural alkaloid that has been found to enhance dream recall and induce lucid dreams. Galantamine acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI), which increases acetylcholine levels, potentially enhancing cognitive function and increasing lucid dream frequency and recall¹².

2. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): Vitamin B6 is reported to improve dream recall. While it might not necessarily make dreams more vivid or bizarre, it has shown to increase the amount of dream content recalled. The vitamin acts as a coenzyme in neurotransmitter pathways, which might influence sleep and dreaming³⁴.

These supplements might help enhance your ability to remember dreams or experience them more vividly. However, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before adding any supplements to your routine, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
