Why don't dream herbs and supplements have effect on me?

Beginning 2 weeks ago I got dream herbs and supplements for dream recall and vivid dreams but they haven't had any effect on my dreams. They include gingko biloba, peppermint, melatonin, mugwort, valerian root and several days ago devil's claw and vitamin b6. Other than helping me fall asleep (though still waking up) they have no effect. I do write down if I remember something and go to sleep by 2am.

    It's good that you have a dream log, as that will train your mind to want to remember your dreams.  I've done dream interpretation for a long time, and I have never heard of such a thing as taking vitamins or minerals to help dream recall.  Also, a desperate attempt to recall your dreams may lead to a subborn subconsciouness sayng, "No," like a rebel child.
