Dreams were why I started taking melatonin. Taking it before bed, combined with a dream journal, helped me remember significantly more of my dreams—many of which have been absurdly comedic or indescribably beautiful—although how much of this is placebo vs chemical vs ritual is unclear. Now I still take 3mg most nights, but have gone weeks without it and thankfully the dreams didn’t stop (although alcohol certainly does make them go away for the night). Ymmv
