The percentage of people who have experienced lucid dreams in their life is about half of the whole human being. In addition, there are few people who are able to consciously see lucid dreams, and some people are making daily efforts to think that they want to see lucid dreams, but it is not easy to see lucid dreams.

Meanwhile, the University of Wisconsin Madison and the Hawai'i lucid dream laboratory collaborated to investigate whether a drug called acetylcholinesterase inhibitor causes a lucid dream. Acetylcholine released from the parasympathetic nerve and the end of the motor nerve is considered to be useful for regulating REM sleep which is a sleeping time when dreaming. Therefore, researchers have investigated whether to increase the concentration of acetylcholine in the brain by administering a drug that inhibits acetylcholinesterase, which acts to decrease the concentration of acetylcholine, and whether the lucid dreams become easy to see.

Researchers conducted an experiment using an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, which is also used as a remedy for memory disorders including Alzheimer's disease, galantamine, which has an immediate effect and a light side effect. Each of the 121 volunteers who participated in the experiment was "a lucid dream enthusiast who has a strong interest in a lucid dream and practices a technique to see a lucid dream called MILD technique ".

Researchers administered volunteer enthusiasts practicing MILD techniques, they said they administered placebo on the first day, 4 mg of galantamine on the second day, and 8 mg of galantamine on the third day. Then, only 14% of the subjects who saw a lucid dream on the first day when galantamine was not administered, but only 27% of the subjects had a clear dream on the second day when 4 mg of galantamine was administered, , And on the third day when 8 mg of galantamine was administered, 42% of the people reported that they had a lucid dream. It seems that 57% of those who saw a lucid dream at least once during 3 days of experiments.

"The method of administering galantamine is the most effective method of seeing lucid dreams known so far," said the researcher, and it is considered effective for many people. Of course, even though side effects are lighter, you should avoid taking galantamine unnecessarily for the purpose of seeing a lucid dream, researchers say "research on the safety of galantamine intake methods is still necessary" I mentioned my idea.
