Thread: Peanut Butter = Longer more vivid dreams?

A peanut butter sandwich before I go to bed gives me very vivid dreams.

thats cause peanut butter has peanuts in it

and peanuts(legumes) have niacin(B3)

and that helps vividness and lucidity

Does anyone here know whats in peanut butter that is contributing to this?

Anyways I'll try it tonight and post my results again.

hey guys !! not to put a downer on the tread but i ate a hell of alot of pb last night with lytrally no affect for me if anything it made my dreams weaker ?????? because the past two weeks ive eaten cheese before bed and had very vivid dreams i tried peanut butter last night about 6tea spoons

but im pretty sure i started a little sp last night which i have not really been able to do before well i wont give up yet anyway guna try again tonight

I wonder what would happen if I ate peanut butter and cheese in the middle of the night?

Sounds interesting I will give it a try tonight before I go to bed then I will report what happened in the morning wish me luck .

It makes sense since it contains a fair bit of choline.

I ate a small peanut butter sandwich the other night, but my recall was absolutely horrible. Literally, I was struggling to remember more than just a few tiny pieces out of a black vacuum, so it's hard to tell if it helped anything. My impression from the pieces is that it seemed to have vivid dreams that followed a plot, but I've probably had the same if not better dreams on nights without peanut butter. Maybe if I took a fish tablet with the peanut butter, I'd get more help with recall.

It seemed to have a little bit of effect I will try again tonight and see what happens.

I've well just been to Marks and Spencers and bought some PB

I decided to try this for the heck of it, two nights in a row. (I almost NEVER remember my dreams, and rarely are they very vivid) The first night there was little difference, I remember somehow that one dream had a plot, but can't remember what it was. The second night was a complete success, I remember multiple scenes from different parts of several dreams very vividly (extremely rare for me).

So PB worked for me.

Oh, there is a chemical basis for this too, PB has tryptophan in it.

Hey dream~viewers ...
how lucky am i to come a cross this post& have some lovely (vegan) peanut butter in the fridge. (Packed with peanuts& its better for you if your worried about fat content& calories, i don't usually worry about those things anyways but i just prefer the taste of this, its called "Whole earth, crunchy original" ingrediants: peanuts 97% Palmoil & Sea salt. all natural ingrediants& tastes great, i get mine from tesco) i've just had two heaped table spoons& half a glass of milk, plus my choline vitamin, i'll let you no how i get on. Also i've looked up on some herbs for lucid dreaming, which i'm going to try& get tomorrow from a herbal store. The herbs that i've found are called Silene capensis& Calea zacatechichi, pretty weird sounding herbs but hey ho i'll see what i can do& try them out. I shall let you know the results. Anyways i'm going to go dream now, Na~night. ♥

"Don't follow your dreams, Chase them" ♥

I'm not sure that is connected to the peanut butter but I had a big spoon of the organic kind and went to bed...well I had a DILD
Will try again tonight!!!

Good to know because all of my favorite foods are listed on here, Eggs and beef liver have the highest choline

Hmm..maybe if our body gets used to PB if we eat it every night for a while, we should switch the stuff up a bit. You could do..

Before bed:
First night: Peanut butter
Second night: Apple Juice
Third night: Banana

and the same for WBTB. Would someone like to experiment with this for 6 days?

bananas contain tryptophan which the body converts into serotonin which lifts your mood and promotes sleep.

I heard it helps with vividness.

I am going to try this tonight havent had a LD yet. Hope this will work. I ll post how it works tommorrow.

Granted Im new to this website, but by far this has been best thread Iv read on this site so far! So yep, Im sold, Ill down the kool-aid with the rest of you and see where I end up lol

They have some choline too!

I'll try the Peanut butter and banana tonight then I'll try eggs tomorrow night. Looking forward to this.

I've heard great things about peanut butter, bananas, and other protein/Vitamin B6 enriched foods. I'm just recently getting back into LDing after a good long break so I might just partake in a tasty Peanut butter-banana sandwich right before bed. Oooh and I can't forget the tall glass of ice cold milk.

I noticed banana's gave me long, vivid dreams a few weeks back. Maybe it's about time I try peanut butter then? I've never eaten it. :p

I have no idea why this would make a lick of sense... but I've read threw four pages and have seen enough potential successes to be convinced. I'll give it a try for a few nights and let you guys know what happens. Thanks for the post Wesconci!

I am going to try this tonight. Will post results.
