For Daytime Use as a Nootropic:
Lucidimine should be first taken alone, with only one capsule, along with a light meal (this may not be necessary, results can vary). Although Galantamine is in the AChE-I class of chemicals with Huperzine-A, Galantamine has unique actions (such as potentiation of nicotonic receptors) and many people find that the efficacy of Galantamine cannot be duplicated with other AChE-Is. It is probably best to only use one capsule the first few tries and let the body adapt to processing this chemical. One capsule may be all you need. Some people prefer two, but there is a percentage of the population who are "acetylcholine/choline-sensitive" - and even one capsule may be too much (these people are very rare).
Take Lucidimine about 45-minutes before engaging in intensive mental work, and cognitive support should last for ~5-6 hours. Some people do take Lucidimine on a regular basis...I recommend making sure to at least take weekends off and full-weeks off every other month.
If one Lucidimine capsule is too large to swallow you may try emptying the full contents of the capsule into a cup of water and immediately drinking the solution.
If you find that even one capsule has an overwhelming effect you may try emptying the full contents of a Lucidimine capsule into a cup of water and immediately drinking a portion of the solution, such as half of the liquid. The galantamine Hbr is added to each capsule separately from the choline/theanine mixture and it is therefor not advised to empty only part of a capsule into water.
Using Lucidimine to Support Lucid Dream Induction:
This was the primary mission of Luciminal Nootropics: To develop and offer the premier lucid dream induction supplement at the best value-price. This is, in my opinion, the finest lucid dream support supplement available...for most people. This is how to use Lucidimine for LD-Induction:
1. I recommend you use Lucidimine in conjunction with the Wake Back to Bed method...however, we do not all have the same neurochemistry and I have received reports back that some users take Lucidimine before first going to bed at night and receive "dream support." Why do I keep using the word support? Because...no pill can GIVE YOU a lucid dream. If it was that easy and I sold that pill I would be so rich that I'd be typing this via voice-command from zero-gravity somewhere above the Earth. What Lucidimine can do is optimize the cholinergic pathways underlying REM-sleep in order to instigate "denser/stronger" REM, while simultaneously fueling the circuits underlying rational/waking-like thought, with a smaller likelihood than with other Galantamine supplements of running into the insomnia.
2. If you have not developed the skills necessary to be an accomplished lucid dreamer, simply optimizing your neurochemistry in this way is no guarantee of success. You should develop the ability (at least for short bursts of time, like for a week or two) to recall and record four, five, or more dreams PER NIGHT before attempting lucidity (this is my opinion and not a hard rule)...again, this does not have to be forever, and it is much easier to recall dreams when using a dream journal.
3. Along with FIRST developing strong dream recall before seeking nootropic supplement support, rehearse and hone-in other lucidity pre-reqs like dream-sign recognition, stabilization techniques, goals/objective-setting. I don't think it is best to look for the one thing that will bring instant lucidity success. Leverage your efforts by combining techniques. Once everything else is dialed in (and it DOES take effort for most people), then Lucidimine may be the missing piece to your puzzle. Of course, some people hit success without all of this preparation, but if you aren't seeing the results you'd like to, do something else!
4. Do NOT take Lucidimine every night! Here's my thinking...most people cannot sleep-in more than one or two days per week (traditionally, Saturday and Sunday). It is best to exhaust the work-week, and on mornings-off you can focus your lucidity efforts. Consider your sleeping environment - is it nice and dark and cool and free from distractions? If you're sharing a bed with a human and/or dog/cat, can you work around their movements and schedule? No need nor benefit to over-taking this supplement, especially if you are not prepared. There has always been talk about the tolerance/build-up of Galantamine, but the science is not straight-forward on this and if following my recs., this should not be an issue.
5. Do not combine Ludicimine with other supps. when attempting lucidity. Do not take racetams the day before taking Lucidimine for induction, including our Noo Day formula, or any piracetam or relative...these tend to inhibit REM-sleep for up to and beyond 24-hours after ingestion. Again, some people report lucidity-support from Noo Day, but this is the exception. Originally, I was aiming for a three-part supplement approach; one formula would be taken at night a few hours before bed to instigate a REM-inhibition with later REM-rebound, one formula to take during peak-REM about 2-hours before final morning awakening, and a next-day formula to "refresh" the mind...this can be achieved by taking, respectively, Noo Brain, Lucidimine, and then Noo Day. Another company takes the first two parts of such an approach -Dream Leaf - we are not affiliated but I am all for having alternatives and choices.
