My experiences with Melatonin
After I read a lot of stuff on the internet about melatonin, I thought I just had to try it. I took about ten over a ten-day period, taking each pill an hour or so before going to sleep. After a few days I noticed that I had a very slight ache in the middle of my head. I'm not sure what this was due to, but as I've heard that the pineal gland can start to underfunction as you get older, I hoped that it was the gland "waking up" again. To try to maximise effects, I concentrated on this point in my head to try to maximise blood-flow. Also at the same time I was trying a bit of inversion to maximise blood flow to the head as well.
It's a while ago now, but towards the end of the ten days, I did notice that my dreams were becoming much easier to remember. But the most interesting experience was that one night while sleeping I found myself walking around in a very dark room with dark wooden furniture. This was only a momentary impression, but the clarity of the furniture was so startling (in comparison to my usual dreaming) that I immediately thought "this is just way too clear for a dream" and promptly snapped out of it and found myself back in my bedroom - but paralysed inside my sleeping body. Anyone who has had this waking paralysis will know that it's not a very nice feeling. I could vaguely feel my discomfort as I lay in bed, but couldn't see or hear a thing. Luckily the alarm clock went off almost immediately, which woke me right up. But as far as the dream went I have never before or since had such a vivid dream.
