Thread: Lucid Foods - The foods for lucidity (and drinks)

Hmm, cheese? Cool, I can't really have bananas sadly (my throat swells up and it gets all hurty) and garlic? Didnt know that one. Dark Chocolate is a given, its Known to produce SILDs (Sexually Induced Lucid Dreaming).

is this really proven to work, or is it just something you're making up? Where did you get this information?

These are mostly from other threads, but I have tried them all (EXCEPT GARLIC) but in the other threads they seem backed up. I was planning to expand this list and put reasons on there, but I wanted first to know if people think it's a good idea.

Ha ha, SILDs? Where can I find more information on these?

Your list reads like my "bedtime snack" ha!

I try to have a little of each an hour or two before bed each night.
2-3 pcs. dark (really dark) chocolate
2-3 slices of cheddar
1 can of V8 (with tons of hot sauce & worchestire & pepper)
a banana
250-500mg B6 (1 or 2 - 250mg's)
maybe twice a week 12-15mg melatonin. (4 or 5 - 3mg's)

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Like for example, the last 3 or 4 nights I haven't had shit for recall. No journal entries at all. Onliest good thing is waiting for the "rebound" that's bound to happen. Maybe tonight.

Are you kidding me? Wouldn't that, like make your brain die or somthing? 15mg of melatonin?

Thanks for the info, I will definatly try all of these (exept the garlic!) When should I eat them, just an hour or so before bed?

i've tried cheese.. but never dark chocolate. i love dark chocolate.. but dark chocolate inducing SILD's? hm. perhaps i will try said experiment..

Good Topic!

However instead of listing "Dark Chocolat" I would List Cacao. Pure Cacao powder or Chocolat with high Cacao content would do most of their "work" due to Theobromine, Caffeïne, L-Phenylalanine and Osrtogen being in the Cacao plant.

Allthough cheese is often said to work I myself have no such experience. I tried this by eating a couple of slices of cheese just before bedtime. youing cheese and aged cheese both without significant results. Is there actually ANYONE who has had successfull experience with Cheese and dreaming or is this just a rumour?

-Mugwort, the Dreamherb, is also often used to cook with. I myself haven't had any positive results with Mugwort when smoked or drank in teas.

-The DRIED Amanita Muscaria Mushroom, AKA Fly Agaric, is said to generate very vivid Dreams. This Mushroom is Hallucinogenic however often times the psychedelic experience "misfires" and just gives you a clear relaxation and mad, vivid ndreams instead. I once made it into a tasty soup and allthough it didn't at all create a psychedelic experience I was minorly relaxed, clearminded and had wild dreams.

Another thing: Has anyone ever tried drinking quite an amazing amount of Cola before bedtime? and with an amazing amount I mean well over 7 glasses of cola. I wonder what will happen since the flavouring/stimulant substance used for Cola is Colanut: A stimulant plant. It helps concentration.

It is not letting me edit the LIST! GGGRRRRRR!!!!!!

EDIT:
But upon returning to this post i can edit THIS ONE AND ONLY THIS ONE!!!

EDIT 2:
HELP! HOW CAN I EDIT MY FIRST POSTS!

I think its something to do with the functionality of the forum, only being able to edit some of your posts, i'm not entirely sure, ask in the meta forum, they will help you out.

I've moved it to the DJ section so it can be edited it is here :

chocolate doesn't seem to work for me. maybe i just suck

All of these foods have the B6 vitamin in them, most to least amount starts at the top.

Ready-to-eat cereal, 100% fortified --2.00 mg per serving
Potato, Baked, flesh and skin, 1 medium --.70 mg per serving
Banana, raw, 1 medium ---.68 mg per serving
Garbanzo beans, canned, ----.57 mg per serving
Chicken breast, meat only, cooked, --.54 mg per serving
Ready-to-eat cereal, 25% fortified, --.52 mg per serving
Oatmeal, instant, fortified

mg=milligrams (just in case)

actually the cola thing you said explains why i had about 5 lucid dreams a long time ago in one night. i drank about 4 glasses of coke a cola 3 hour before i went to sleep and i really should try it again tho i did go to bed about 1 30

For dark chocolate, wouldn't it keep you awake? I have tons of those tiny Hershey dark chocolates lying around (reason being is I'm not that into dark chocolate).

Also, I don't know but I eat bananas every night before bed and have been having more dreams.

XD This is good! I drink fruit V8, like 8 gallons of it, every day around the clock.

I heard popcorn is good too...don't remember where, but I just have it stuck in my head.

Bananas, huh. *runs to kitchen to eat*

That one really worked. I had one peice when I woke up, and went back to bed. Little ashamed of myself though since I am trying to do more things in my dreams than just sex.

Like xristosx I've heard that popcorn is a LF (lucid food) but I've also heard that pickles and lettuce as well as milk or almost any dairy product. I read this in LD4all.

Remember if you want to drink/eat something for lucid dreaming, do not drink it a lot, you will build up a natural resistance to it. (Not sure but read it in the CILD topic) Also to add to it, i cant believe nobody has said this one: Chocolate Milk. It might be plaecebo, but I really doubt it. My dream recall has gone up 400% (2-3 dreams a night, from 5 short dreams a week). and dream vividness 500% (10 second craps to 30 minute gods). I buy Quick (the chocolate powder with the bunny) and fill it up about 1/3 of the cup. Note: I have a really bad stomach ate for about 5 minutes after.

I knew that drying the amanita muscaria mushroom is possible to eat.
I read a book about it some weeks ago, but not the whole, just the chapter of eating it .
There where no recepies for some reason, so how much do you think will be a good piece to the afternoon coffee?
it shouldn't be eaten fresh as i remember, there's some subject in it chaning to some other, right? i think it was ibotian acid (or something like that) to muskimol.

and btw, is it true that you get immune to the amanita muscaria fast? i heard about a guy that could eat massive amounts of it now, cuz he have eaten it very often.

APPLE JUICE! apple juice works awesomeishly.

Any plant or drug that has anticholinergic properties works great to induce vivid dreams, however the downside is that if you take too much they will produce delirium - the hallucinogenic state typical to horror movies where you see things or people that are not there and do things you would never normally do - so, avoid eating/taking too much, but these are the thing I've had the most success with in improving vividness of my dreams.

However I have not seen an increase in lucid dreams, just in dream quality overall, but then again I had only had 2 or 3 lucid dreams in my life at the time I was using anticholinergics.

All drugs have some form of tolerance. There are three classes of hallucinogen and all have a different type of tolerance.

Psychedelics - the most well known hallucinogens, e.g. LSD, Psilocybe Mushrooms, Peyote, DMT. These produce instant tolerance but it wears off very quickly, for example if you took some mushrooms one day, in order to experience the same effects the next day you'd need to take 2x as much, but within a week your tolerance would be baseline. These don't really affect dreams much, but they may cause a slight increase in remembered dreams.

Dissociatives - these hallucinogens are present a lot in recreational drug use but less well known/researched than psychedelics, e.g. Ketamine, PCP, DXM, Salvia Divinorum, and Amanita Muscaria when it is boiled. The tolerance from these is slow to build, you can take the same dose every day for weeks before you notice any, but once it's there it takes many months of abstinence to reach zero tolerance again. These sometimes actually cause you to remember less dreams.

Deliriants - The scary hallucinogen, they essentially turn your waking life into a dreamstate with things that aren't there - but seem real. I'd say these are very dangerous to lucid dreamers if you take a delirium sufficient dose, as some of the things you see could be seen as dream signs and you could be convinced you were actually dreaming. These include Nutmeg, Datura, Diphenhydramine, un-boiled Amanita Muscaria and various other anti-cholinergics. At any dose they improve dream recall and vividness, so keep it to a low dose. I've not noticed any tolerance with these over a two month period of taking small doses to improve dreams, but your mileage may vary.
