Thread: Induced Dream Recall?

This is technically old news, but it hasn't really been brought up for a long time... so it's no problem, anyways.

I know there was an "experiment" with this in the research forum, but honestly, it can't be regarded as very scientific as there are too many other variables that are dictating the results. However, it is more clear as to what chemicals/minerals/vitamins induce certain types of sleeping patterns. For example, b6. See o'nus's "physiology of sleep" tutorial for a good list of foods containing dream-related substances. You can also search the internet for vitamins/chemicals that induce dream states and see what foods contain that. But to be honest, many foods contain an ingredient that induces better recall, etc., but it really contains a negligible amount, so it doesn't have any real effect other than placebo.

I think you are partually unearthing the old B6 in food thing, but otherwise, I like it

when you get down to it, some foods (like bananas) contain dream-enhancing substances, so you do have something

Yeah, the only reason I brought it up is that I remember my dreams so rarely that improving dream recall is going to take me ages just because I have to wait so long to actually get a dream that I can remember and write down to condition myself. I figured if I could push the state in a nonharmful way, I might be able to speed up the process a little.
