    Default Taking MSM to CAUSE nightmares

    So I read in another thread that maybe MSM use was causing terrible nightmares for another girl here and I got to thinking...

    Oddly enough, I LIKE having nightmares. Something about the adrenaline rush it gives me, and the catharsis of living in your own horror movie. Being confronted with your own fears and terrors when they are in a place they can never really hurt you just gives me such a RUSH. I don't get very many nightmares and I get so excited when I have them.

    I also read that MSM is great for hair and nail strength and growth, as well as many other benefits (anti-inflammatory, increases blood flow, helps with nutrient absorbtion, etc) so I figured it'd be a win situation all around for me.

    I bought a jar of MSM powder and took a spoonful with some apple juice. Gonna go to bed soon (nightmare effects are said to decrease if you take it in the morning, so I'm doing this before bed!)

    I'm kind of excited to see how this will play out. I know this is weird, but I know I'm not the only one that tries to induce nightmares.

    Ooooh, let us know what happens! I have read so many people talk about nightmares from MSM. I think some have said that it takes a few times for them for it to start having these effects, but it sounds so curious.... It's like I'm trying to picture the movie that happens in their heads. I know melatonin will make me have some interesting dreams, but nothing spooky or scary, just more vivid.

    Oh! And Merry Spooky Dreaming

    Well I took two teaspoons last night and while I can't really recall any, I know I had some interesting dreams last night. Nothing terrifying, but I had a LOT, and they were INTERESTING.

    Very interesting. I never really looked at nightmares like this before...It kinda makes me think differently of them now.

    I've been having FANTASTIC results with this stuff. While my dream recall is still shit, I know that I'm having multiple dreams/nightmares every night, and I actually feel more energized throughout the day.

    The powder is bitter as shit, and I have to chug it with a glass of orange juice (thick pulpy orange juice tones down the bitter quite a bit) but it's also supposed to be really good for your skin, hair and nails. It's too soon to say for the cosmetic results, but if the psychological results are happening, I'm optimistic about the rest!

    I was temporarily prescribed a heart medicine that had 'vivid dreams' as a side effect, including the possibility of nightmares.

    Vivid would be an understatement - I was there, I could feel, smell, taste and otherwise experience with all 5 senses my dreams. No nightmares, but somewhat surrealistic, and continued from night to night like a serial or soap opera. Far more interesting than 'real' life!! It's been 10 months since dropping the meds and leaving the dream world behind, but I still remember scenes as clearly as if it was yesterday.

    Man I wish I was still on that med (well, except for its OTHER side effect!).

    Dude, seriously? Take mine. I have had recurring, graphic, wake up screaming in a cold sweat dreams as long as I can remember. And when I say graphic, I mean GRAPHIC. I love horror movies, particularly Japanese and Italian, but those don't have shit on my dreams. I'd write horror novels but I sort of like to forget them.

    Vivid dreams? Sure, MSM can cause those. But goddamn. I can't imagine wanting the nightmares I have.

    Zyban. My dad took it and those dreams rocked him out for a few weeks, so badly he went back to smoking.

    I've always wanted to use the Nicotine patch so I could have crazy dreams! ^_^
    I've heard melatonin works for dreams too. I was taking MSM in capsules but it didn't do shit, I hear the powder is way better.

    I'm totally gonna try this out. I want scary surreal dreams too. ^_^

    Oh yeah melatonin works.

    I had a dream about hanging out with Marilyn Manson last night... super vivd. He even had this new song that I remembered when I woke up... totally not even a Manson song my brain just invented it. I think it was my brain making up for the fact I'm not going to see Danzig in two weeks.

    Oh yeah totally off topic, but I was going to take my bf to see Danzig for his bday... then we totaled the car! Bummer. I didn't get to do anything for his bday last year due to being broke, and now due to being in-between transportation.

    Anywho... end threadjack lolz... But yeah I really like melatonin to help relax. Of course, this one time I took ambien and stayed awake... Talk about seeing some crazy shit!
