Vitamin b6 = good or bad???

[tr0798]

Anyone ever heard of Vitamin b6 helping dream/OBE vividness? For the last few nights I've been experimenting with it (at safe levels of course). Sunday night is when I first used it. I had read that 75-130mg yielded best results in most people, so I took 100mg. That night, I could sleep for about the first 4 hours (11pm-3am) and then I could not sleep at all., until 7am. I felt restless, alert, and terrible. However, I did notice that the vividness of the dreams that I had during those 4 hours that I was asleep was much more than I usually have.

I took 25mg last night 4 hours before going to sleep (7pm). I was able to remain conscious all the way to a point that I've never reached in my OBE practices: My body was acting independently of my mind. I've had a slight cold for the last few days, and have been sniffling quite a bit. I could feel my body sniffling on its own as I was in this state, without my mind telling it too. Additionally, I felt like I was not breathing at times. When I checked to make sure that I was (don't want to die yet! lol), I dropped out of this state. I stayed in this state for hours, but was not able to achieve an OBE. I did not feel any vibrations, but I did hear random sounds every now and then that were coming from inside my mind. Eventually, after about 5 hours of no progress, and feeling like I hadn't slept, I decided to give up and fall asleep unconsciously. It took longer than normal to fall asleep because I had the same restless feelings that I did Sunday night, though at a much lesser magnitude. This morning when I woke up, I felt as if I had very little sleep last night.

I feel as if I'm either taking the wrong dosage of Vitamin b6, or taking it at the wrong time, seeing as how it seems to be acting like a stimulant that is preventing me from sleeping normally. It does seem to help, since I've never had that sort of experience before, but I don't want to destroy my sleep cycle or schoolwork because of it. Any ideas/suggestions/comments?

Vitamin supplements are to help with health. If you have a healthy body, you should already experience normal sleep and memory, and supplements will probably throw your system out of whack (like staying up all night). Diet and exercise will do so much more for your body than supplements.

It's better to have a good night of sleep with an attempt in the morning, rather than attempt for 5 hours straight during sleepy-time.

I suggest practicing using normal OBE exercises. I'd only take supplements if a doctor recommends them. If you look at all the really good projectors and those who teach projection, they don't use or advocate supplements.

I tried the vitamin b6 and had some vivid dreams to start with, but not so much recently
I think it could have been a placebo effect.  I'd be interested to see if there had been any proper studies done on it
I read that if you take a huge dose it's just a waste cos you just tinkle out anything over the recommended daily amount.

My dreams became more vivid when I started taking L-tryptophan 

there is a book that talks about different supplements that help
but I have not tried those:
