I've noticed just now that since I've been drinking V8 juice for the past week or so I've been getting millions of vivid dreams, including 1 lucid dream last nite. Don't know the reason exactly, possibly just a subconciuos placebo but i think its works for me.
Maybe its something in all those vegetable and nutrients and whatnot,like high levels of B6 (?) or maybe some mineral that enhance dreams...all i can say is keep on chuggin!
I drink v8 alot. Maybe that's a major contributing factor to me recalling as many dreams as I do a night?
Or not.
Never heard of V8. Seems like a drink rich in nutricians.
Are there any other name under which this drink is sold?
Hey SKA, it's pretty much just a vegetable milkshake *shudder* I can't even stand the smell of the stuff. If you want to try it out just put a whole bunch of horrible vegetables in a blender and whiz til it's smooth, then don't strain it & drink it. If you can keep it down it's pretty nutritious stuff. I work with a guy who can't (won't) eat any vegetables, so every day for lunch he plugs his nose & downs a can of V8. Gotta hand it to the guy, at least he's doing what he needs to, instead of what he wants to. I almost puke just watching him chug that shit. Blech.. Also, Mott's Clamato is similar (stuff they make Caesers outta) so if you can't find V8 then try Mott's.

Well.. we had a few cans in the fridge so I've decided that I'm going to drink a can a day also... damn! The stuff I'll do for my dreaming... sheesh!

V8 is good, ill have to buy some and see what happens
Ya, I usually drink it in the evening and I've read its very high in B6 and other nutrients. For people that dont really like it that much try some salt and pepper to make it taste better if you want. its very good for people who can DILD easily.
i have had v8, its not to bad. not sure if it would effect dreams in any way though.
I'll have to try it Spicy hot in that one picture sounds good :teeth:
They have a type that tastes like fruit, but has the same nutrition, maybe even better. Its like V8 Fusion or something. Tastes like regular juice.Quote:

Aha! So that's the secret! I knew there must be one!Quote:

I love v8 juice!
I love the spicy V8, though I like all of them. I love hot things, and I really love the taste of v8. Anyway, I think it may have an affect, if you drank it at night.
This something I have to try, along with my sharp cheddar cheese before bedtime lol
V8 also comes in a lower sodium version if the regular's too salty for you.
LOL, the things we'll do just for a good dream. I actually LOVE V8 juice... you're making me thirsty!
POWERade baby!!!
Hmm... interesting...
Now I'll have to go to Costco tomorrow, buy me some bulk V8, and do a little experiment. :)
heh. I have V8 now and again. I could be crazy burt I find it to be a little stong. I've never noticed it changing the vivds of my dreams. though, I can only handle V8 in small amounts then it starts to taste bad.
Ok, I went to Costco today and bought me 48 x 5.5oz cans of V8. I'll probably drink a couple before bedtime for a couple of weeks and see how it fares.
Let the experiment begin! :yumdumdoodledum:
Haha, we have one of those huge glass bottles of V8 juice in the fridge. I don't drink it out of choice but if it helps recall I'll happily gulp down a few. Shall try starting from tomorrow!
Anyway, at least if it doesn't work we know its doing us good!
ETA: My 75th post! :P
Experiment update:
Day 1.
Sipped on 11oz of V8 through the one hour before I went to bed.
Took 1.59g of Valerian Root capsule form (I won't take them in the following days so that this is a controlled experiment)
Result:
Was able to remember 2 dreams quickly, both times I woke up. The second dream, I remembered it clearly at first, but forgot it after hearing a big noise before I could write it down on my journal. This is far better than the average 1 dream per night I had been remembering and which would take me a few minutes to a few hours to remember the dream.
Both dreams were extremely vivid.
V8 really does sound great for dreaming, I'll see if I can either run to the store and get it or have someone else get it for me, it'd be really great just to see how much V8 can help you in your dream life
Where is it that you found this information? I was trying to find it myself but am having some difficulty.Quote:

Shall try again tonight but this time with no B6 vit tab.
