That's interesting. I know vitamin D can improve sleep quality in people who are deficient, and sleep quality helps with dream recall -- I wonder if that's the mechanism or it's something else.

A cursory search shows lots of redditors taking Vitamin D (some of them way, way too much btw) and having wild dreams too.

I take 800IU a day and haven't noticed anything on that little.

What is way too much? I take around 4000IU per day. Which just about brings my blood levels into the “green” area in blood testing.

Given 10min of sunlight the body can naturally produce 15,000UI equivalent so I think gp is likely astroturfing for that brand

That is actually a low dose.
