Extraordinary dreams with nicotine patches

[Vynce]

By chance I discovered that nicotine patches applied before sleep will activate dreams to an unknown level of vividness, clarity and consciousness.

I'm talking about a level of wakefulness during these dreams that I would have maybe 1x per year or even rarer. And they happen EVERY night with nicotine. Even naps produce incredible dreams with them. 

I just read some reddit posts confirming this dynamic and that nicotine stimulations acetylcholine levels in the brain, which are linked to vivid dreams during REM. 

For me this is actually quite a nice boosts of quality of life, since I'm meeting old friends, date new people, experience new activities and live out novel dream realms, which is all impossible since I got chronically sick (hence needing nicotine patches in the first place). 

I was using the lowest dose (7mg/24 hours). Administering them just before bed, will give you the craziest experience, maybe even too strong at times. You'd have to see yourself.

Unfortunately I am so addicted to them that they don't do that.

Coffee on the other hand... If I have it in the middle of the night it basically gurantees an OBE.
