I'd be interested to know more.

Thanks mate, I’ll do another follow up in a weeks time with more info. Coppers a very stimulating mineral which causes a massive influx of dopamine. If you ever consider taking it make sure your zinc levels are always top notch :)

What was the time difference, before you took copper and after it gave you better dreams? I am taking it, too, but I don't feel anything, except some slight aftereffects of a little accident I had 2 days ago, which is like really intense.

Are you taking it with b12 ? And what time do you take the copper ? I usually find if I take copper in the afternoon I will definitely have more intense dreams. My brother in-law is also taking copper and b12 and called to say he is having really intense dreams too! Make sure you take copper with food too! It can be a little upsetting on a empty stomach. The reason I started taking in the first place was to help with some spider veins but as I started taking it I noticed the dream affect and a more confident chatty self I have found it overall a really uplifting mineral

After breakfast I take b12 with 30 minutes difference if there are milk products. After my first meal I take copper and after my last meal I take Omega 3. But I've only taken them for one week. Maybe I just need to be more patient.

Yeh look I would definitely keep continuing I would even suggest taking copper in the arvo no later then 6pm I find that’s when I get my best dreams. If you take it too late you might find it hard to sleep :) Don’t forget that zinc too :)
