Food and Vivid Dreams

[westonci]

Theres a lot of foods/drinks that claim to give you vivid dreams. I want to know which ones have worked best for you. You can select more than one.

bananas are literally my miracle food! i found out that there is something in bananas (can't remember what it is called) that helps like, i guess, dream vividness. and does chocolate really help...and peantbutter?

Dark chocolate. When I have it, I eat it during WBTB. It motivates me to stay awake and focus on technique, for I know technique is more reliable than the food itself.

[reesespieces]

dark chocolate is okay but i not crazy about it

I've only been experimenting with energy drinks for a couple months but the results are clear. With their super-high caffeine content they have given me really vivid and long lucids on several occasions when I drank them just before bed. And the first time was by accident; I had no preconceptions.

I haven't really noticed much correlation between the food I eat, and how vivid my recall is. For me it mostly depends on how focused I am on getting Lucid. When I stop thinking about dreaming for a few days, I start to lose that sharp clear recall. But once I get really motivated again, I start to wake up with such a clear memory of my dreams, that I can see them almost as if I was still there.

Wouldn't drinking an energy drink keep you awake?

[westonci]

Wouldn't drinking an energy drink keep you awake? small to moderate amounts will give you light sleep which is good for LD's and vivid dreams

[reesespieces]

small to moderate amounts will give you light sleep which is good for LD's and vivid dreams oh i didn't know that

[AlexLou]

Wouldn't drinking an energy drink keep you awake? It would depend on the individual. I can still sleep after consuming large amounts of caffeine. A while back one of my co-workers brought Brawndo into work. I drank 2 and a half cans before I started feeling sick. When I got home I went straight to sleep because I didn't feel well and woke the next day from a very vivid lucid still feeling extremely jittery from the caffeine.

Caffeine sometimes works well for me as well. The first couple of times was by accident. I just drunk a not of caffeine at work to help keep me awake, and then I had very vivid OBE type experiences the night after consuming a large amount of caffeine. This happened a couple of times, I tried to find out the reason why and consuming a lot of caffeine was the only thing I could think of, I then tried Green tea pills which containe 50mg of caffeine with WBTB and it worked, I haven't experimented with caffeine much lattely though.
