Yeah traum got what I was trying to say 
hmm, i tried doing the peppermint experiment… lately my dreams have being extremly vivid, so i wasnt looking for much of a difference but it did, exept it took a turn for the worse, im just guessing that if i keep on trying for like a week or so itll start working 
So where’s “the turn worse”? If you’re dreams are more vivid isn’t that GOOD?
haha, oops, my bad, i guess i didnt explain that this time with the tea i never remmebred one signle dream
Just wanted to report that I had good recall, vivd dreams and a lucid one after 0.5l peppermint tea (3 teabags).However, I think the main factor for this were the 11 hours of sleep I got, but I will try the tea again
My chemistry teacher back in high school used to give us peppermint candies before tests because she said that something in peppermint stimulates the brain. I guess this is why we drink the tea. From my experience, the mint teas I’ve been drinking have made my dreams longer and more vivid.
But I was wondering, what about Altoids? I mean those things are curiously strong . What would happen if you munched half a box of those before bed? Has anyone experimented with other forms of mint besides tea? This may be interesting. Also, some stores sell peppermint extract. A few drops of that may be the same potency as 10L of concentrated tea. 
I’ve got a box of altoids right here, and it says it has artificial flavoring. No real mint to be found. oh wait, this is wintergreen. . . you might want to check a peppermint box, but I would assume those would be artificial too
Mine say “oil of peppermint” which I guess is the real stuff. 
Traum inspires?!! What about me?!?!
Lol Chosenone your always an inspiration to everyone, including yourself !8D
Jeff
Haha, good one 
oh so i bought some of those york peppermint patty bites, would those do anything?
and i’m drinking brisk iced tea, which is tea, even if it’s all sugar…
LOL, look: Just try it with no scepticizm (sp?) and post back if they DO work. Asking if it does or not will not help anyone, especially not you.
“Mint tea might induce LD’s”
“I drink Earl Grey - will that work?”
shakes head
didn’t work
Ok so cross it off the list and go buy some Lipton Mint Tea
Last night i had a cup of (using 1 tea bag) “Celestial Seasons Pepermint Tea” and added 10 drops of “Burts Bees Pepermint Breath Drops”. I do say that three dreams were remembered, which is up 30% over most nights But none were lucid 
Thom
LOL you added breath drops to your tea?! Orwell would flip in his grave 
Don’t overdo it, people. And breath drops probably have synthetic stuff anyway… but nice to hear about increased dream recall.
Wow, you guys have got me hooked! Mint tea is the greatest, even if it doesn’t increase my recall much. It’s good for you, it tastes nice and it’s so easy to make!
My method: Pick a handful of mint from the garden (fresh and organic), stick them in a cup, pour in boiling water and leave for 5-7 mins.
I think our mint is spearmint, or something similar, perhaps that’s why it doesn’t work for me.
Oh and another thing… What does almost everyone do before going to bed? Clean their teeth. What does almost everyone use to clean their teeth?? Toothpaste. And what flavour is almost everyone’s toothpaste??? MINT!
I remember reading on one of these “everything is a conspiracy” websites that the fluoride they put in toothpaste (and even in the tap water) does something to hinder a part of the creative brain or something like that. I don’t know anything about it except that rumor from a questionable source… but maybe that’s why it’s so hard for us to LD, which is really a natural process.
