Try Beta Carotene (Vitamin A source) at at or before midday. My wife only takes it every other day because she says dreams are TOO vivid, and she needs a night off in between. I get the same effect, but as long as I wake up in the AM, I don't care about dreams.

You might try putting mugwort in your pillow (I'm told it can also be smoked)

Hello,
While I am unqualified to make any recommendations, I can tell you that in my personal experience St. John's Wort intensified my dreams significantly. I used a tincture, thirty-five drops three times daily. I am a large male, so that may or may not be too much--I would talk to a naturopath or other practitioner before starting. It is photosensitive for one thing, and may have other side effects... Good luck
