New Study Reveals Alzheimer’s Supplement Can Trigger a Lucid Dream

Originally published on www.humanoriginproject.com A supplement that stops the breakdown of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter in the brain is a useful technique to trigger lucid dreams Throughout human history, dreams were regarded as a sign of what might happen in your life and the world. Today researchers are learning more and more about how sleep and the brain control your dreams. The human brain is wired to do many things during the stages of sleep. We now understand different types of dreams and classify them into categories. Lucid dreaming is a term scientists use to describe when you know the situation you are experiencing, is in fact, a dream. It’s a scenario with exciting possibilities. Being able to control your dreams may have many benefits. These may include: Neuroscientists now understand the chemistry of dreams and how you can use specific supplements to trigger lucid dreams. Research has investigated a supplement called galantamine to treat Alzheimer’s disease. It acts on enzymes that break down a neurotransmitter known to trigger dreams during sleep. Brain conditions like Alzheimer’s disease associate with sleep disorders. Even a few nights of sleep deprivation can increase the build-up of Amyloid plaques in the brain that contribute to mental decline. (1) However, new studies show galantamine may also trigger a lucid dream. In this article, we’ll explore: Why do Dreams Happen in REM Sleep? Let’s take a quick look at the neuroscience of sleep and dreams. In mammals and birds, sleep is split into two types: Non-Rem Sleep (NREM) — Deeper sleep when the brain directs cleansing of the bodily organs (eg. Digestive system). Slower deeper brain waves (Delta waves) occur in these phases. REM (Rapid Eye Movement) — When the brain undergoes self-cleansing. Faster brain waves (Beta Waves) are recorded that are similar to wakeful brain […]
