      Yes I've heard about chocolate being an effective ld aid; darker chocolate more effective.

      But, I thought of something that might prove to be better. What about A HOT CHOCOLATE? Simply because it contains both chocolate and warm milk. One problem: My hot chocolate mix isn't really chocolate. It has only a few ingredients in it, cocoa being one of them. Does cocoa work the same way chocolate does? Or am I just stupid?

      EDIT: Yes, yes I know...there already is a chocolate topic, I should have just posted this there...(I found it like ten minutes later, couldn't remember where before lol)

      Well Cacao is the rough prouct of Chocolate: it contains Cafeïne, The main Female hormone (Don't know it's english name) and some other rather ''Stimulant'' slightly psycho-active compounds.
      Milk holds Calcium, which breaks down B6 I believe, so it may affect your dreams. And the warmth of the drink, as does Tea and Coffee, makes you physically relaxed.

      So it'd be a combination of Milk, Chocolat and the Relaxing Heat of the drink.
      I like the idea of doodeling around by experimenting with combinations of Foods and drinks containing sleep&Conciousness-affecting substances. also the Temperature plays a roll: Cold will make you more alert, aware and concious while warmth makes you more drowsy and dreamy.

      I like playing around with it, fine tuning it, to find a perfect combination, Dose and Timing of these factors that increase Dreamvividness, Recall and Lucidity/Conciousness. Keep doing it.

      not to overestimate the Value of our Concrete Knowledge;"Common sense"/Rationality,
      for doing so would make us Blind for the unimaginable, unparalleled Capacity of and Wisdom contained within our Felt Knowledge;Subconscious Intuition.

      Thanks, I'm still going to try this, as it might vary from person to person. Hot-chocolate all the way!

      Yeah that should work the same, only I'm going for hot chocolate 'cause it's hot/warm (might work better too).

      Ive heard calcium (in milk) isnt too good for lucid dreams.
      I could be wrong.
      Our dreams are firsthand creations, rather than residues of waking life. We have the capacity for infinite creativity.

      Add a shot of whiskey or whatever to the mix.
      Some are born to sweet delight,
      Some are born to endless night.
