      Talking Testing foods and drinks for lucidity/vividness/dream recall.

      I thought it would be a good idea to introduce what foods and drinks help everyone with their dreams. XD

      NO DRUGS, please! Some people on this forum are younger, around the age of 13, and I'm sure it could really screw them up (and it's not very healthy for us older people as well).

      Please participate, and I am sure it will help a lot of people. ^-^

      Also, I am sorry if someone already made a thread like this. >_>
      Looked through the first 7 or 8 pages and found nothing.

      These are some commonly believed foods/drinks to help to obtain lucidity :
      (Dark) Chocolate
      Chocolate Milk
      Cheese

      Please state :
      The food/drink
      The time you ate/drank before going to sleep.
      What effect (negative or positive) it had after.
      And anything else you wish to include.

      Thank you for replying if you do so. XD

      Lucid Dreaming Goals :

      Well if we assume that Tryptophan is key variable in promoting sleep then this list from wikipedia may be usefull:

      Tryptophan is a routine constituent of most protein-based foods or dietary proteins. It is particularly plentiful in chocolate, oats, bananas, mangoes, dried dates, milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, red meat, eggs, fish, poultry, sesame, chickpeas, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, spirulina, and peanuts. It is also found in turkey at a level typical of poultry in general

      Also worth noting is that apparantly the type of cheese consumed is important when considering the effects.

      It's called "The Pharmacy" it's in the tutorial section, I had a campaign to get it copied here, but I failed. Maybe I'll push for that again.

      well i use a list of herbs to help gain vividness and help with the recall of my dreams

      (These generally help attaining REM Sleep and help to maximize the amount of time spent dreaming)

      Valerian Root = 800mg
      Melatonin = 1.5 mg
      Vitamin B6 = 300mg

      (This amino-acid blend actually helps in ATTAINING lucidity)

      2000mg L-aspartic acid
      4000mg L-glutamine
      300mg L-theanine.

      i have done research on all the ingredients listed and many of them have gone over the recommended daily dose. thus in research i will say that taking all of these should help but i think the dosage is a little off i will start using these and continue to report on the dosage. but here is a list of what each one is inteded to do

      Valerian Root- Valerian root may help alleviate pain and is often used to promote sleep. It especially benefits those suffering from nervous over-strain, because it does not possess any of the after-effects produced by narcotics.



      Vitamin B6- neurotransmitters


      Aspartic Acid- L-Aspartic Acid plays a vital role in energy production and is a major excitatory neurotransmitter.



      Glutamine- L-Glutamine assists in the fueling and detoxifying of
      the brain. Thus, L-Glutamine has been dubbed "the thinker's
      amino".


      Theanine- helps promote a restful
      state.* L-Theanine has shown the ability to promote deep muscle
      relaxation and improved quality of sleep. It's known for its
      calming effects in the brain and is shown to support increased
      concentration and focus while reducing irritability

      Melatonin- promotes deep sleep. melatonin supplements are also helpful for jet lag and occasional insomnia
      I dream of the days when we all wear the masks
