It's day 5 and my desire has not returned. This is especially impressive because my smoking is tied to when I take my prescription for Adderall. Somehow methamphetamine no longer triggers the urge to smoke. I commented on this to my wife yesterday, calling it 'weird.' And I just made the connection now, after reading this post. Very interesting. After 3 days of taking 2 T of ground whole seeds every morning my desire to smoke has also decreased. It’s day 5 and my desire has not returned.

They were all happy memories of myself and my brother; interesting to note is that the memories were in chronological order, starting from when I was around 3 years old (yes i do remember a few things) to 5, 7 years of age... They were kind of memories with a little twist to them; since in the dream I (as a by-stander) was watching myself and my brother ride the bicycle together, swimming and playing in the pool, etc... any medical thoughts on this ? Maybe I have experienced near-death !! Last night I took an Omega 3 pill before I slept and have had vivid dreams of my childhood.

I've been taking a Fish, Flax, Borage OIl Supplement for the past 5 days. I suspected there might be a connection, but after reading all of the above posts, I'm convinced there is. I just wish the dreams were pleasant. I wish a medical professional would weigh in on this thread to assure me that the benefits of this supplement will outweigh these scary nights.

This is especially true if I take a capsule before bedtime. I began taking the supplement based on the recommendation of my pharmacist, who suggested that flaxseed oil would help my asthma. It has helped my asthma. So, long story short, I feel good and I sleep well. I will surely continue to take flaxseed oil.

I am an artist and illustrator and have always had vivid colorful dreams but very rarely anything like these. Three in a row just before dawn. Since Omega 3 is the only change in my diet I wondered if there might be a connection. Sad to read they might end soon. Oh well.

That never happens to me. In the past I've known that I must have dreamed, but never remember anything. I didn't have vivid dreams again after those first three nights, even though I've continued to take the capsules, so there must be some sort of initial spike that happens to cause that.
