Everyone must have heard the "Old Wives tale" that cheese can give one Nightmares, but are there any foodstuffs that actually promote dreaming. I have heard that certain substances like Melatonin can increase the vividness of dreams but I would prefer to go with more "Natural Food " ingredients. Any advice. (Ps. Don't say Cheezwhiz or Red Cap Mushrooms). I was thinking more along the lines of "Herbal remedies" etc |

Valerian does the trick (for me). |

It's probably just me but eating nothing 4-5 hours before sleep always helps(ed) with dreams. |

It's generally best to eat very little right before one goes to bed. If one must, I reccomend fruits, yogurt, warm milk, et cetera -- something light. When you are digesting food in the middle of the night, more brainpower is spent running the digestive system, and one is less likely to produce a lucid dream. |

It is important that we do not judge these few unbiased moments of our lives, but take them as they are. There is no nightmare for the lucid dreamer, nor no shadows on the mind.
I often take Melatonin when i can't sleep, i'm 16...so i'm not old....but when i take it, it ruins my lucidity hhhhmmm that word sounds weird...anyhow...i don't dream @ all. I go 2 sleep & stay in a deep sleep 'till morning. It is often one of those wake ups where i feel like i slept for 1 minute but feel really refreshed. |

"You will cease to exist!!"
*GASP* "But existing is all I practically do!!!"
for me if i eat really hot or spicy food before i go to sleep, it almost always gives me a nightmare..or two really different foods, like a bowl of ice cream and then a couple dill pickles. i've actually been pondering using that as a dreamsign, because its pretty much a sure thing that if i eat something odd or spicy, i'll have a nightmare, so i was thinkking of eating something like that, and then getting in bed and before going to sleep, repeating to myself that when the dream gets scary, i will realize its a dream. havent put it into practice yet tho. |

Ya' know i wish i could tell u what 2 use, i do know herbs works really well. we have a lot of different kinds, when i take them it often clears my head making me tired so when i sleep the possiblities are endless in my dream because my mind isn't stressing over anything. |

I am sure that Melatonin gives me dream recall. 'cos I dream all the same. |

You are very against the United States. Not everyone here is totally ignorant. Id say you will find the same percentage of idiots and geniuses here as you would find in most countries. Keep in mind that on about every decision, half of the population is for it, and half is against it... that is one very overlooked fact. Though i must say that we are probably going to be the new France... so spoiled. |

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.........I did like your Buffalo Wings though. |
