      (cild) Cheese Induced Lucid Dream

      I thought of a way that i think could be very successful for me in inducing lucidity and possibly many others (also making your lucid dreams more interesting). I do reality checks whenever something happens that makes me think it could be a dream so i thought to myself what could make my dreams more crazy, then it came to me cheese! So i done some research on the internet and read on how different cheeses has various effects on your dreams. British Brie gives you the craziest dreams and cheddar cheese next in the list (after research on 200 people).

      After eating British Brie people 30 minutes before bed reported dreams of having a drunken conversation with a dog, talking soft toys, elevators moving side ways, dinner party guests being traded for camels, a party at a lunatic asylum, soldiers fighting with kittens, and my favourite a vegetarian crocodile was unhappy because he couldn't eat children.

      After eating cheddar cheese 30 minutes before bed 65% reported dreaming of celebrities such as the cast from Emmerdale, askly from Coronation Street featured, playing in an old firm football match with Ally Mccoist and Gazza, and one girl reported dreaming of building a pyramid with the help of Johnny Depp, and him and his family sitting in a pub with Jordan.

      These are feedbacks on 2 of the cheeses in the study but as you can see they can cause some crazy dreams which would work out perfect for me because the more crazy the dream the more likely i am going to realise that it is a dream. Cheddar is the cheese i have got in my house so i am going to eat this before bed for a week and will post the results.

      Also you may think twice about eating cheese before bed because of the myth that cheese gives you nightmares but after this study 72% slept well and none reported nightmares.

      Like to hear your views

      I eat a lot of cheese too. Partly because I just love cheese, and partly because it's a good source of vitamin B6, which increases the vividness of dreams. I'm not sure if it makes my dreams "crazier", but then again my dreams are crazy enough to begin with.
      How I discover what my dreams are about

      In my last lucid dream I made pink sparks between my palms. I was trying to make a white ball of energy...

      It pisses me off. In the past when I ate cheese it always resulted in Zombie Dreams, but now that I'm a huge Zombie Movie fan it doesn't work!

      Huh, I didn't know cheese effects dreams. I have been eating cheese my whole life, like at least one meal a day is primarily cheese since I was really young. I once went 7 days in a row of having a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner. One time I had a free meal at a restaurant because all I had was a big bowl of shredded cheese which is a topping for a salad even though I didn't order salad.

      But enough about my cheescapades.

      I have had several lucid dreams before I've heard about them and I have always had really good dream recall. I wonder if it is all related. I'm going to eat extra cheese tonight and see what happens.

      Drasnus, i read on a forum that a lot of people were having zombie dreams after eating cheese.

      Funnel, cheese is meant to improve dream recall.

      I am looking forward to what results this brings tonight and if it makes me lucid, and also to see if i dream of any celebrities.

      I remember once i eat cheese before bed about a year ago and i dreamt i was a celebrity (a girl) and i went into a phone box picked up the phone, put it to my ear and then i hear helllloooooooooooooooooooooooooo which made me become lucid i think so i think to myself this must be my sub-conscious so i'll try to have a conversation with it. But after everything i said it kept repeating helllloooooooooooooooooo so i put the phone down because it was beginning to give me the creeps. The dream was very odd indeed, and i hope i don't have a dream like that again tonight.

      I tried this last night i eat 30g of cheddar cheese and went to sleep about 2 hours later (was supposed to be 30 mins) and i dreamt a crazy dream where me and this gang of people were heading towards this building to fight these aliens or something on the way there i realised this was strange, so i done a rc and became lucid. It was cool i decided to go along with the dream, and i remember the boss of the gang told me to go on the balcony and kill any interferences and the italian agents i think he said so i did and it was awesome.

      So my (cild) worked first night.

      I'm going to put forth a new idea... the PILD.
      PRIMUS-Induced-Lucid-Dream.
      That's about as cheesy as it gets right there.

      Also, I AM going to try the cheese thing too. I have tried it before without any noticable results, I'll try again WITH some PRIMUS in the old earbuds. Who knows... it could work.

      So my family had a big lasagna dinner last night, so everyone was chock full of cheese (is chock a word?). And I really remembered my dream, which isn't unusual, but two others did as well, one being someone who rarely ever remembers dreams. Also, I was semi conscious during SP which has NEVER happened, but it still felt a tad dreamy. Lost conscious shortly after.

      All hail cheese!

      hahaha! The title of this thread is HILARIOUS! As I read it, i imagined somebody sleeping on their back with a cube of cheese under their nose, thinking maybe the smell had to do something with it, haha.

      But seriously, its really interesting. I'll eat cheese tonight see what happens.

      Haha, I've never tried this, perhaps I will begin to. Maybe cheese can do something for lucidity, there's no way to know until you try. Eat some before you go to bed, record what happens. You may want to wake after a few hours and eat some then, since you'll be going into a long REM period...

      Got my hands on some genuine british brie! Damn this stuff is expensive, $10 per wedge and tastes like a hobo's buttcrack, but worth it...for science! I just had some and I'll be having a nap in 10 minutes or so.

      will report any result

      Yeh bro i was thinking of eating the cheese after a few hours of sleep because of the long rem period and i have noticed in the two nights i have been doing this the difference in my dreams in a good way. First night i become lucid and the second (last night) i was just about to do a reality check and then i woke up because it was the end of the rem period.

      Be interesting to hear what sort of dreams you have ParadigmShift because British Brie is supposed to create the craziest dreams.

      This really isn't an induction technique, any more than taking B6 before bed, or Melatonin, or Valerian Root, or anything like that is an induction technique. They're dream aids, but not an actual induction technique. What is it with people and trying to turn everything into an "ILD"? You don't get paid for doing it, you don't get famous for doing it. You are confusing people.

      If something is an induction technique, fine. Go ahead and share it as such. But this is just absolutely ludicrous. What next. SILD? The sleep induced lucid dream? "like, I wnet 2 sleep and had a ld. thats y i thoght id share my technique with u guyz. all u do is go to sleep and sumtimes you have a ld and sumtimes u dont. it helps to keep a dj and do rc"

      Seriously, people, try thinking before you post things like that.

      As for the cheese, this information is far from new. Topics and articles about the British Cheese Board study have been floating around since they first published their findings.
      If you're interested in learning more about the study, you can find the official article here.

      I'm positive I've read topics about this on here before. Multiple times, even. Maybe consider doing a quick search first?
      Yeah.

      I'm gonna have some pizza tonight and see if we're onto something here. My most recent lucid came from a day when I had cheese and crackers with my lunch and pizza for supper. We'll see!

      First of all absolute no need for that tone, and secondly i agree with you that there are too people making up techniques and calling them ilds I didn't post this to get famous for making up the technique or whatever i just wanted to share this idea i was going to try out, see if anyone else has tried this and get other people involved in it. I did doubt that nobody had ever thought of this before because it's not really rocket science. I should have used a different title for this thread though because i am starting to notice a new ild technique every day and it must be starting to bug people.

      whoops. Forgot to report--here are my experiences:

      brie - smells like a hobo's asscrack. Gives awesome dreams. Gave me a dream about driving against traffic at night on a hospital bed, but I had a device which could shrink the cars and I could squish them. Also a dream about being in a futuristic army and blowing up enemy rock giants with a bazooka. And one of me having spiderman-like powers and not using them to save the world. Also, I've developed a taste for brie, which unfortunately implies the same for hobo asscracks.

      stilton- tastes like a mouthfull of crusty makeup. gave me a dream about me taking a very easy test, being very happy, and then getting an F grade for "being a wiseguy". One about a genie who expected me to transfer all of the water in the sea into a small thimble, and breaking out into an angry song when I protested.

      liecester cheese- has given me a sex-related dream every time I've eaten it. A steamy sauna scene with 2 attractive, proportionate goddesses. An orgy in the snow and a 1 on 1 with a russian tennis player. Unfortunately, not always a good sex related dream, for one I was being chased by a shemale and she lassoed me with her gigantic penis and dragged me across the ground woke up right before she had the chance to voilate me. thank you god

      I also eat a lot of cheese, but only Gouda. Let's see wether this works, it sounds very interesting.

      Yesterday my mother went shopping and i told her to get either british brie or stiltshire cheese because they are supposed to create the craziest dreams. But none in Iceland so i got Red Leicester which is supposed to make you take a trip down memory lane (old friends, homes, home towns, schools, childhood etc etc). I thought i would take that instead of the cheddar to see if it produces different sort of dreams and it did just that, and also a lucid dream!

      The first thing i recall of this dream is i am on a plane taking off and i am thinking how i hate the feeling of the plane rising which makes me feel this horrible feeling (sort of like my body no longer exists). I then experience this feeling and i am glad when we reach the height. I am sitting next to a few of my old friends from school and a friend now in real life just talking and then another friend from school walks into the room. We are pleased to see him but he doesn't seem bothered which i find odd.

      The next thing i recall is i am now sitting alone, (think i moved for some reason) and all of a sudden it hits me how strange all of this is. I am going on holiday to Gran Canaria im sure it was with people from my old school and i am thinking wouldn't happen which made me become lucid. I am thinking to myself what can i do. I call a member of the cabin crew and i ask him would he ask the girl one from the left (who used to go to my school) to come over here and he does. She is walking over and i am expecting her face to change or her to act weird or something for some reason but she walks over with a happy smile on her face and sits next to me. In the end it results in me trying to kiss her which she doesn't seem to keen on so i back off. But it seems it is too late, a person who was sitting next to her must have had a thing for her or something because he walks over and wants to pound me so we end up fighting the middle of the plane which causes turbulance and then the plane crashes which was very frightening.

      This made me lose lucidity probably from fright but it was a enjoyable and entertaining ld even though it didn't last long. So the cheese done what it was supposed to do which is create dreams about the past which for me was old school friends (some which i haven't dreamt of for ages. Also i become lucid with the help of the cheese, and my constant reality checks and awareness checks which i have been doing the past two days. I am definetely going to continue to eat this cheese again tonight and see what results it brings.

      I'mma eat some cheese tonight. That's the problem though, I don't LIKE cheese!

      A pizza or grilled cheese sandwich would get me my fun zombie dreams when I was younger (great memories... Let's see, me, in a field with an electric drill and zombies... Or going through a swamp town with a shotgun...), nowadays I have to eat tons to get the effect, and they aren't all zombie dreams...
