Thread: Lets Settle This Once And For All!

I've had chocolate before bed, and as far as i'm concerned it doesn't change a thing. It's just an excuse for fat people to ignore their diets.

Hehe, funny but kinda rude!
I've also tried chocolate before bed with little or no effect.
B6 on the other hand enhanced both my recall and vividness though.

Didn't help at all, totally a placebo when eaten before bed (may help if you eat it after 5 hrs of sleep though)

Thats what i expected. The only effect i can possibly think of is it keeping you somewhat awake during a dream due to the caffine, increasing your chances of doing an RC.

If chocolate didn't make me sick I would try this.

Someone should go 1 week without eating chocolate and keep a DJ with a record of things, and then 1 week eating chocolate and record it and then compare them together.

just a placebo for me didnt help at all

It's so hard to seperate the placebo effect from an actual lucid-dream inducing chemical in chocolate. Have to do a controlled double-blind study to know for sure I guess.

But...it has seemed to help me sometimes, but not others (I'll take a placebo effect if I can get it, but I would like to know for sure too). However if there is some sort of tolerance effect I am not a good judge because I eat it constantly, except I never actually got up at night and tried it.

Nameless may be right, about not eating it except for dreaming; and I like Rage of Poseidon's idea for a study too. I think I'll try this. (Uh-oh already getting worried about decreasing my intake...but in the name of science and lucid dreaming I shall try.)

Sorry H.F. I don't think I followed your instructions. Maybe you should just try for yourself; it may be an individual biochemical response or something. I do think people should eat the darkest, most concentrated chocolate they can find; I think if you eat a Kit-Kat and it works, it is just a placebo or else sugar causes LD.

I got to bed at about 1am last night, set my alarm for 4:30am and when I woke up I ate half a chocolate bar. In the morining, at about 9am when I got up I couldn't remember any dreams too clearly.
So, no effect on me, I'll try it another night cause maybe it was just bad luck...

Chocolate milk works best.

It's probably a placebo.
