There's a community of people online who employ dietary supplements to stimulate lucid dreaming.
I accidentally discovered it when taking Methylcobalamin B12 supplements. For the first week or so I'd lucid dream every morning for a few hours before fully waking up. It was quite interesting, but would cease happening if I continued taking the MB12. Only after stopping for a few weeks would they recur upon reintroducing the MB12.
There are more reliable supplements for stimulating lucid dreaming in particular, I'm pretty sure my MB12 experience is just a minor side effect. I've read it affects melatonin production, and I did find myself growing sleepy earlier and more consistently when taking it. I don't know if that's related to the lucid dreaming though.

I learned this when taking Vitamin E for an injury. I would have dreams that I remembered when I woke and that is unusual for me. I tried to buy vitamin E for the purpose, recently, and failed to reproduce the result.
