As you know, in the last year I've been supplementing with strong daily dosages of magnesium (1500-2000 mg) and l-theanine (400 mg). Both of these promote workout recovery, relaxation, and deep sleep. Magnesium in particular is known for producing strong, vivid dreams.Most of the dreams I've been experiencing involve surfing, spearfishing, and generally hanging around various exotic beaches and wilderness settings. Sometimes they feature family members whom I've neither seen nor spoken to (or even thought of) in years. Last week I dreamt I was witness to the bloody beginning of a race war. Rather exciting to say the least.
Last night I dreamt that I had a son. I first saw him as an infant and then as a toddler. He had reddish-blond hair and blond facial hair. As a teenager he was the spitting image of Kaiser Wilhelm II, King of Prussia and last German Emperor, and walked stiffly around in a formal dark suit. Outside in the town square a homeless female violinist stood on the cobblestones below our house and played Mozart in the pouring rain in the middle of the night.
What does it mean? It probably means I've been taking too much magnesium and l-theanine.

how many MG of theanine? JRF
JRF ~ At least 400 mg. Not every day.
Wow, that's an awful lot of magnesium. I take Natural Calm- only about 200mg of magnesium and also a standardized Ashwagandha capsule at night. Helps a bit, but I still wake in the middle of the night and have trouble getting back to sleep. I'll try the theanine and up the magnesium dosage. JRF
1mg of clonazepam and 2mg's of prazosin and I sleep like a baby all night.
Magnesium is a hell of a mineral.
I take zinc, magnesium and B6 before bed (sold as ZMA), Vivid dreams, sleep like a rock and wake up harder than a rock.
Magnesium . . . hmmm. . . perhaps I should try it since I'm currently awake at 2:07am. Even though everyone wants an interpretation, I think dreams are often just dreams. And, I'm glad I have them because many of mine are quite interesting.
