I'm doing a test right now in which I am eating chocalate to see how it affects (effects?) my dreams. *Fun test huh? * ... *I just came up with it so I'm not stocked with chocalate at the moment so the results won't be as uhh whats the word I'm lookign for.... The results probably won't be too much from what normally happens * ... I read on a website that chocalate affects dreams so I'm testing that out... I'll tell you how it goes tommorrow... I was going to say something else but I forgot...
Anyway, if anyone has ever tried something like this (doesn't have to be with food) post what you did and the results... *

Bye...

Well, let's see. Chocolate contains sugar and caffeine, among other things. Caffeine obviously will result in restlessness. Sugar, I find, often causes me to have nightmares. I've never known chocolate to cause more vivid dreams or help increase my likelihood of having a lucid dream.

the correct word there would be affect, and while we are on the subject of grammar, i think you should fix your signature. it should be you're, as in you are, not your.

ouch

you remind me of....me

Well if we're gonna get nitpicky, I feel the semicolon would have been a wiser choice to properly illustrate the contrast between "you're" and "your." ("it should be you're, as in you are; not your.") Of course one could argue "not your" as a sentence fragment, but hey, life goes on.

hi-five for icedawg yo!

So anyway, how goes your chocolate experiment?

yes, do tell!

*engulfs a hershy bar*

Well, for one, I should try it again with more chocalate specimens because last time I didn't it enough chocalate I think...There wasn't much results but I remember an internet site telling how chocalate can affect your dreams. I'm gonna get a few candy bars next time I got to the dollar store

PS: Nothing exiting happened in the dream world when I did the chocolate experiment... too bad... but I did have about 10 dreams last night that I remembered

with stuff like this, where you eat something to see if it helps your dreams, it sometimes seems to work. but much of the time it doesnt work necessarily because you ate chocolate, etc. but because you thought it would work... so in your mind, believing that what you did will cause you to have better dreams, that thought alone can be what does it.

Ya I know that I thought I wrote that but I guess I didn't. I said to someone else that if I wanted it to work then it might. THE PLACEBO AFFECT (OR EFFECT)!!

Now the effect would be stronger if I read for example in the steven laberge book that 78% of the time a warm glass of chocalate milk 2 hours before you fall asleep would induce lucid dreams (you could call it CMILD, chocalate milk induced lucid dream), and I did it and geniuinely thought that I would have a lucid dream that night then I probably would, so in conclusion, if I wrote a book with all of this crapped up information like the chocalate milk thing and people read my book and they did it they could still get lucid dreams from the eating excersises....

this is great! i'm gonna have a CMILD tonight! ~yay~!

it would be effect.

ah, yes. much like the psychology aspect of anyone trying new treatment: you're doing something about it, thus you're looking for better results.
