Very Simple Method for Remembering Dreams

**art-of-ruin** · 10-13-2004 05:14 AM

Hey, I thought I'd make my first post a helpful one, so here goes:

I found that by drinking Mint tea 30-40 minutes before sleep makes me remember all my dreams very vividly. It may or may not work for you, though I've remembered my dreams every night that I tried this. I found this by accident, simply because I love tea.

I haven't experimented with different teas yet, but I'm guessing that there's something in Mint tea in particular that causes this vividness. I'm sure that this can also help in attaining lucidity, as you are able to "think clearly" in your dream world. Have fun!

wow that's pretty cool, im glad that works for you! maybe it has a calming, smoothing effect that stimulates the mind... but tea isn't my cup of tea

like hot tea? I love tea ( hot and cold ). I like the Sleepytime tea the best ( C. Seasons ), but it's been a while. I'll have to try it again to see. Thanks for the tip!

Celestial Seasonings is some good stuff, I've got lots in my cupboard although I never did much enjoy the 'flowery' kinds (chamomile, peppermint etc) but I may give them another shot.

mmmm, i guess I should be drinking tea right now anyways, im sick

why must i feel so terrible!? I havn't felt this bad physically in a looong time. This way i'll be killing two birds with one stone, heheh

I heard people talk about this on LD4all, mint tea seems to work... Might ask my mom to get some of that stuff cause she's a real tea-person and likes all these herbal things and buys them from the appropriate shops.

bah, i blame my alarm clock, anyway tea is discusting... give me soda/pop/some sort of carbonated beverage, any day!

I'm now drinking Ginseng tea. I'll let you know tomorrow if it helps.

**Haz** · 10-15-2004 11:10 PM

i love coke hehe

**NeonBlack** · 10-29-2004 02:12 PM

I don't think mint tea can be so disgusting. I'll surely try

I had good results!!!

I love this tea, so i drink it every night now, heheh. But I coupled this with some meditation where i would just sit still and clear my mind of every thought I had. Thats it, just think of NOTHING. You have to make your mind a blank void (or do so as much as you can) for about 10 minutes (more for even better results) and I couldnt believe how great my recall was. I mean, it was good enough already, but now I can remember handfulls of dreams a night with vivid detail! Try it out

**lbc302** · 11-11-2004 09:36 PM

OMG. After reading this, it all makes sense! a few weeks ago, I went through an entire week, and remembered my dreams very vividly each night. I thought it was so weird, and even commented to my co-workers how crazy it's been that I had all these crazy dreams that were so vivid - Every single night. But also what I did that week, was, I was pretty broke and didn't have much to snack on at my house, but I did have a box of mint tea. I would have a nice hot cup before bed to satisfy that "I need something tasty" feeling. I didn't even realize it, but I bet that's why I had all those vivid crazy dreams. And That was like 3 weeks ago, I just joined this forum yesterday!!! I will do another test tonight just to make sure. But Wow.

I know what i'm about to drink tonight. I have some sleepytime C. Seasons tea in my cupboard. I think taking a vitamin B12 pill every night before bed has helped me alot.

**Gezus** · 11-12-2004 01:30 AM

I drank mint tea before yesterday and I didn't remember my dreams, maybe because I drank it too early? anyways, I didn't drink any last night but I remembered a few dreams, i don't usually remember any, maybe peppermint tea has an effect the next day as well?

**lbc302** · 11-12-2004 04:03 PM

Well, I had my cup of peppermint tea last night before bed, and sure as shoot, I remembered 3 dreams with details. I didn't get lucid though, that's only happened once.

**Gezus** · 11-13-2004 12:03 AM

I drank some peppermint tea yesterday but didn't remember anything... maybe it only happens every two days for me? At my mom's I could remember them well though, I think because I had a pretty uncomfortable bed so I woke up in time to remember a dream...
