Thread: Chocolate! (cild)

Excellent post. I had been eating 3 or 4 ginger snaps when I woke up in the middle of the night to record my dreams, and had been having an incredible number of vivid dreams each night. But then I stopped eating the ginger snaps in the middle of the night because I had not been as hungry as before. When I stopped eating the ginger snaps, my vivid dream count went way down. I just realized this last night when I woke up hungry, and had some ginger snaps, which resulted in having several really vivid dreams again. I think I'll start having a piece of chocolate with my ginger snaps for an even more powerful effect. Great idea. Thanks for sharing it.

I eat a lot of chocolate, and I've not noticed it have an effect.

I drink a hot chocolate most nights before bed. I think my 4 LDs happened when I hadn't had hot chocolate, but I doubt if that was the reason.

I should really start recording what I eat before bed!

The idea is great, cuz it acctually works.
It's one of the substances in the cacao that make's you more aware i think.
Eat some bananas, have a dark chocoalte bar and a cup of coffee when WBTBing.

It's that chemical in chocolate and the caffeine. Yes chocolate had caffeine.

i will try this tonight i have not had much choc but it was all i could find

OMFG this works so well i have 2 pages of dreams and 1 was a very long lucid(my first )
and there is so much more that i cant rember them but i no i had them. GO CHOCOLATE

It's currently five in the morning where I am. I just had a piece of chocolate and big glass of chocolate milk so I'm about to crash out once this sugar high dies down. I'll let you guys know!

This sounds promising, I'll try it!

so is it the milk or the chocolate or the chocolate milk?

I drink chocolate milk everyday, much of it. I don't know if it has had a big effect on my dreaming.

I'll eat some chocolate tonight and see if it does anything... although I'm also taking B6

ill try driking chocolate milk before goin to sleep i havent LD yet well i did wend i was about 5 or 6

If it dosent get you lucid it gives you extremely vivid dreams, I usually remember all of them too.

I tried milk chocolate a few days ago. Set an alarm to wake me up 5 hours after sleep.... Ate some chocolate and went back to sleep. I actually didn't realize any change. Maybe I'll have to try chocolate milk?

At school I was told to eat chocolate before the exams. I wish I'd remembered that before now. I'm going to the shops for chocolate right now.

I'll post my results tomorrow.

This is really interesting. If someone did start a topic like this on the research forum, I would sure participate. I have never noticed before, but unless I eat or take something especially different, I usually don't take note of it.

Well I lay awake from 5:30 till 8:00 after trying this . Guess this wont help me then.

This sounds intreguing. I'll 'mos def'initly try it tonight. Especially because of this dry spot I've hit recently.

ya i tried doing in, ate a little before i went to bed, then woke up at 5:30 and drank some chocolate milk and some more chocolate. then i went to sleep and woke up about 8:30 thinking that i didnt have a dream. then i went back to sleep and had a really in depth one. then again i found out i had dreamed something else in the first 3 hours after the milk. those dreams were like the most in depth and realistic dreams ever.well i dunno because im trying to lucid dream still and mayeb i wont think its a dream because its so real....

Tried it with chocolate milk this morning instead of solid chocolate. I had a lucid! I might have been going to have one anyway though. Still it was nice to have some chocolate milk to wake up with.

Yea, ive found that if it dosent induce lucidity it creates some pretty vivid dreams.

That's it

i tried it again, and same effect, it was awesome man, probably some more nights of this and i will get lucid... but you never know.

I got it, get one of those 10 lb. blocks of chocolate and eat as much as you can before going to bed. I wonder what you would get from that.

you probably wouldnt get anything for then a stomach ache haha, i think chocolate milk works better because when i did it with chocolate milk and just plain chocolate it worked, but when i did it with just chocolate... it didnt work.

ya, i guess too much of a good thing could just turn out to do nothing. nevertheless, i'll see what happens if i try a mix of coke and chocolate, cheers.

I'll give it a try tonight, I'll wake up at half past four (hope I hear my alarm, if I set it too early I don't wake up sometimes. ), I'll eat some dairy and then go back to sleep.
