The never ending lucid dreams?

What herb is recommended for sleep? Has anyone had continues lucid dreams? Seems like I have one after another the entire night. I mean I can literally make a movie out of these dreams they're so random and lucid and weird. I also think it may be caused by amonia build up in the brain caused by lyme and bart that cause the sleep issues. I've been waking up with extremely stuff neck and headaches too. Although some mornings I wake up refreshed. I can't pop a whole melatonin because I feel like I can't breath too much into a deep sleep.half a melatonin usually does it bt sometimes I wake up 4-5 hrs later feeling refreshed bt it's during the middle of the night or early am like 3 or 4 am

I used liquid melatonin, and even at a very low dose (0.5 mg) I have nightmares. Lucid, freaky, vivid dreams about awful stuff. Wasn't worth it! Essential oils and CBD both help me sleep without any obnoxious dreams.

what essential oils did u try?

Potsnpans makes a good point about adaptogens. They affect each person differently, so while ashwagandha does not make me feel sleepy, eleuthero knocks me out. Some also try holy basil and others for sleep.

The essential oils I like for sleep are lavender, frankincense, and peppermint. (Some find peppermint stimulating, so find what works for you.) I place a few drops on a handkerchief beside my pillow.

Hello, are you taking Ashwagandha? I used to take it to induce lucid dreams intentionally, used to be a huge fan of the subject before learning I had lyme 10 years later.... So it may just be one of the herbs that cause the dreams, not just dieoffs can affect you at all... Although massive herxes combined with the dream intensifier herb even though it is also anti-inflamattory... Could be a freaky combination for vivid nightmares.

Ashwagandha, known in its latin name withania somnifera, where somnifera means "to induce sleep". You are expected to turn sleepy after taking it, thats how it works, and I drink it in tea together with valerian and they together really give me great sleep, or at least improved compared to usual. You should do research on each herb you use so you don't miss out what they are more generally used for other than treating Lyme which is the less known path.
