question about eating/dreaming

hey guys...

i just wanted to know would my diet affect the dreams i have? i dont eat breakfast, have maybe a small snack (a biscuit at around 11am) up until lunchtime (12am-1pm) where i would have maybe a sandwich and then have dinner at around 5-6pm. i only returned to these forums a day or two ago and have started getting into lucid dreaming again - ive had 2 so far, one was on the night i returned to the forum. basically i want to know if my diet is unhealthy and am i not getting enough vitamins/minerals that can lead to good dream recall/lucid dreaming. all comments/suggestions appreciated.

It all depends on what you eat....Seeker did an experiment on this last month, but anyways, here is a list of foods & effects:

Grains: No effect at all (Biscuit is perfect!)
Fruit: Makes your LDs a little sweeter & a little more serene
Vegetables: Increase your eyesight in your dreams
Dairy: Make your LDs foggy
Protein: Makes it very easy to wake up, & recover from SP, but doesn't effect dreams
Sweets: Make you really hyper in your LD

Just read the basics
PS: I was once obese, & this had no effect at all on the dreams that I had

What I want to know is, if you become lucid, can you create food and it still have the same sensory affects? I mean if you are on a not very exciting diet then perhaps lucid dreaming is the answer to all cravings!

An odd notion but just thought I'd throw it into the mix.

Haha. I'm on a kinda strict low-fat diet and I like to eat cake in my LDs. It tastes amazing...just like real!!! Cake is the only thing I can't get out of my head...that and oreos. Hehe. Damn their creamy filling!!

How was the effect of protein measured? Sounds like an odd thing, considering protein is in all the other categories of foods you listed.

I mean the meat group, obviously. Anything considerably in the meat group (including peanuts & eggs) will do this to you! :D
