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.
i just had 6 small blocks of dairy milk™ chocolate and i hope i have a LD.
P.S. I'm Having At Least 6 More Later
It actually helps as far as I can tell!
I had about a small cup of chocolate milk last and and I slept at around 11:30 PM. Last night was the best i have slept for a while and I was almost late for school this morning.
I also find that my dream recall improved a lot...
I'm going to try it again tonight and report what happened. I think I'll have 2 cups just to be sure!
OMG MY FIRST LD!!!!

Well, I'm glad to see my thread from a long time ago after coming back for months!
I had completely forgotten about this method! :p
Bah. Dark chocolate is where it's at. Milk chocolate contains so little cacao that whatever effects it gives are placebo.
Mmmm. 70% Cacao... <333333333333
I sneak the actual cacao powder into shakes sometimes.
Is it better to eat before you go to bed or when your alarm clock goes off??? I'm going to try to WILD tonight...
I'd like to try this out some time. I'm going to drink a glass of chocolate milk before heading to bed. Can I use the syrup that you mix with regular milk? Will that give the desired effect?
I woke up drake a glass of chocolate milk and ginger snapps (some guy earlier on said it helped hah idk), fell asleep 45 mins and had 3 extremly vivd dreams. I also tell myself (and belive it) that I will have long vivid dreas but it never works. I wasn't really thinking about how it will help I just reminded myself to drink it so it's not just me telling myself I will and it happens.
if what you say is true then sexual arousal should have the same effect, and i don't think that the chocolate gives of endorphins but that the chocolate stimulates you pleasure receptor and the you brain releases endorphins into your bloodstream.Quote:

I've found that i have the best, most satisfying sex LD's after a serving of dark chocolate.
I actually hadn't considered this to have any relation before, but a friend of mine tracks food in relation to dreams, so i looked at my past DJ entries (incidently my DJ also serves as my diary and calorie counter journal. mostly because my ADD wouldn't be able to keep up with multiple books, meaning it's hard enough not to lose one, let alone 3 different journals. haha.)
And chocolate really does it for me.
of course, at least half of those LD's were brought on by daydreaming, which lead to fantasizing, which lead to a DILD and then a very happy wakefulness.
Give it a go ladies! It may work for you too!
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!
I didn't read this thread last night, but I did eat loads of chocolate (mmm) just because ;)
I'd been having very bad dream recall lately, but I remembered 5 dreams today of which 2 were very long and detailed (it took me half an hour to write down my dreams this morning).
So, since I didn't expect anything from the chocolate (milk chocolate btw), I'd say it wasn't a placebo effect.
Bad habit though, eating loads of chocolate before going to bed! :D
Well, nothing profound happened to me. My dream recall didn't even seem to improve. Although, for the record I smoked Calea Z the night before and took a bit of B6 and Melatonin. Maybe I was overdoing it? I'll try them separately next time and see what's up.
When I say nothing profound, I don't mean nothing happened at all. It's weird, but I can feel that I had a lot of dreams last night. Has anybody experienced this? It's like they're all bottled up in my subconscious somewhere, but I just can't get to 'em! Oh well, maybe they'll come to me during the day. I'm going to the renaissance festival so that's bound to require some RCs (when you see a man on stilts dressed as a tree from LotR, you can't help but think you're dreaming).
Also, after I woke up around 4:45, I had some chocolate/chocolate milk like I specified in my previous post. As I was drifting off, I had one instance where I knew I was right on the edge of a WILD. I started envisioning a bunch of brightly-colored tropical birds. With a sudden fierceness, I kept thinking to myself, "These birds are in my dreams! I'm dreaming!" I started to feel my body relax A LOT and it started to "vibrate," but I"m pretty sure either my mind freaked out at the sensation (first experience with possible SP), or I was too excited that I scared it off. LOL.
I should probably also mention that I smoke marijuana pretty frequently. I read in the big substance thread and on other sites that marijuana can suppress REM sleep. I'm officially quitting TODAY! I want to see how my sleep changes once it's out of my system. I'll be expecting a big REM rebound.
I'll probably try the CILD again next weekend. :D
This sounds promising, I'll try it!

And are you squashing that poor/lucky? man in that picture...
Just woke up after about 7 hours of sleep and drank a big cup of chocolate milk. Not really tired, so I might attempt a WILD, maybe smoke a bowl or cig beforehand to relax myself. My main problem with WBTD was always getting back to bed without someone calling or coming home, but its so early and I don't have to go to work until tomorrow so lets see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
giving this a go tonight.
i've done it before and had no success.
but this time......
The night I had my very first and only LD I had eaten a bowl of chocolate pudding before I went to bed. Interestingly it was a powder mixture that you add milk and boil but I added a pocket of hot chocolate powder in it just to make it more dense. I hadn't known about any techniques, I wasn't even trying to have a lucid dream. Nice observation! I'll delay my usual chocolate feasts to midnight for stronger effect.
*almost* every time I go to my grandparent's house, I have a lucid dream. I had always wondered why, but now I know! they are always loaded with chocolate.
