A member asked:
Does nitric oxide produce wild/lucid dreams? please, need some answers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lucid dream/euphoria: In rats, Nitric Oxide stimulates the mesolimbic reward pathway via inducing dopamine release and activating dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens, presumably through antagonisation of NMDA receptors localised in the system This action has been implicated in its euphoric & lucid effects, and notably, appears to augment its analgesic properties as well.
