Hi all--
I have been reading that using an over-the-counter supplement that is typically used for arthritis pain enhances the dreaming experience. Sometimes it causes a bleed-over of the dream into life after the person wakes up.
The substance is abbreviated "MSM," which stands for Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane.
You can find it in the Vitamins/Supplements section of pharmacies and health food stores. Usually it is combined with Glucosamine and/or Chondroitin, and is thought to build up the natural padding between joints, and perhaps to improve hair quality.
Here is a review article on MSM:

And here is a discussion thread on a hair-care blog about wild dreams after taking MSM;
https://longhaircareforum.com/threads/sh...ms.194827/
The hair forum people seem to be taking powdered MSM in doses from 2000 mg to "a couple of tablespoons" in liquid at bedtime, most taking 3000mg at bedtime.
By contrast, this site recommends a maximum dose of 2000 mg 3 times a day, or 3000 mg twice a day;

Does anyone here have experiences with dreams and MSM?
Note that a _lot_ of the vivid dreams recorded above were bad dreams, and some had lasting adverse effects.
