#2Looks interesting, but I would use with caution if you have renal or gut issues. Research this one extensively before using.

#3Tangentially related, but if anything "magical" exists, lucid dreaming is the way to it.
Egyptians were supposedly obsessed with being lucid during dreams so they don't "lose" themselves in the afterlife. Seems quite logical, since you essentially lose track of yourself during a dream.

#4I’ve only ever had a small number of lucid-like experiences. I only remember my dreams 4-5 times a month, but those few lucid experiences were wonderful.
If anyone has any advice that’s worked for them on stimulating (lucid) dreaming, I would love to hear it.

#5One thing that struck me from Matthew Walker's Why We Sleep was him finishing up the section on lucid dreaming stating people don't know if lucid dreaming is bad, good, or irrelevant when it comes to affecting REM sleep's normal function. I never thought it might have some sort of negative cognitive effects, but I certainly now would be hesitant to try to induce it chemically.

Either do reality checking every day for an hour or so, or lay down, relax, and don't move for 5 hours while staying awake.
Keeping a dream journal will make the above less necessary.
I find my "bandwidth" limited during lucid dreams - I can't explore wide open spaces and if I look at details, I am prone to waking up. I never found the "just like being awake and being there" trope to be true. I spent a lot of time on detailed lucid dreaming - mainly, I wanted to test OBEs, so I would have an "OBE" and go to a place I have never been, but could check later, like a neighbor's house, or a store. It would always be absurd and "poorly rendered", nor would it match, when I checked it later irl (what a surprise).

If you want lucid dreams, slap on a low dosage nicotine patch before you sleep.

I've had over 100 lucid dreams.
Keep a dream journal. This will improve dream recall and help you identify patterns in your dreams. Identifying patterns is good, for example, if I find myself in a classroom I know I'm dreaming. I never go into classrooms awake, but occasionally find myself in one while dreaming.
The best way to keep a dream journal is to spend 5-10 minutes while first awake in bed thinking about your dreams and writing them down. That is the time and location dream recall is the easiest.

What worked for me was making it a habit to 'reality check' (looking at my hands/fingers, doing a double take on a clock) every day for several weeks. Then, entering a lucid dream state worked best when taking an afternoon nap, or waking up a couple hours before my usual wake up time and going back to sleep after a brief period of mild activity.
