Thread: Peanut Butter = Longer more vivid dreams?

Hmm, I like this kinda thing!

Bananas, chocolate, B6 and now peanut butter? Haha, I hope you'll have success with it!

I just had another long vivid dream last night, and I told my brother to do the same and he did and this morning he said he had the same results.

This is the fourth night in a row that its worked. Can someone else try it and Im pretty confindent that you'll get the same results

In my time on the boards I've noticed that most foods will have this effect on dreams. I think that, at least in most cases, it's not any certain chemical in the food, but rather is simply a function of your blood sugar level rising after digesting the meal, causing your brain and body to be more active and your dreams more vivid.

This thread officially made me hungry.

And its 02:30 am...
...and its dark....
...and the kitchen is far away....
...shit...

Peanuts have Niacin in them. That will help make you lucid

LMAO hahaha

Just go fix a PB&J man..

and maybe a too!

My LD count is 2.5. I had the first 2 years ago, the second a year ago, the third 1.5 weeks ago. I read this, and since my dream recall has been shit recently, and I had 4 heaping tbsp of peanut butter before I went to bed. I HAD 4 DILD LAST NIGHT!! I'm not sure if it was a placebo effect, the peanut butter, or the fact that I was asleep for 12 hours when I usually only get 6... but, I'm definitely going to try this every night from now on!

I just ate some peanut butter last night, and I noticed my dreams where a lot more vivid and longer than normal.

I was being chased by the mafia, which is pretty cool.

Well. I definately give this a try.
But the hole thing I'm thinking of is different though.
Of course it didnt work for me either but.
Your mind wasn't acceptingg...
So
You see I recenetly started meditating and I believe combining these two things might work.
But I'll def try PB.
Also next time ask yourself how to stop time or slow it down so dreams pass by very slowly.

Hmmmm. It's funny... I don't despise peanutbutter anymore. It is starting to sound good actually.

Im thinking placebo affect. Im also thinking at 4am tonight ITS PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

I ate some peanut butter last night and it worked somewhat. I knew I was dreaming but I didn't have complete control of my movements. I don't like peanut butter much at all, last night I almost threw up because I put too much in my mouth at once...it was funny though. I don't really like the taste of plain peanut butter but if help with getting vivid dreams, I would eat it every night.

Well.. I gave it a go too. Last night I ate 4 huge spoonfulls just before I went to bed, not hard for me, I love the stuff. I did notice a marked increase in the duration and vividness of my dreams. I had one epic dream (which I'll be journaling later) and at least 2 other shorties. In my opinion, for whatever reason (call it placebo if you must) this worked. No lucidity but definitely more, and better, dreams. I'm thinking that a huge chunk of dark chocolate PLUS a big whack of peanut butter at bedtime would probably be a powerful combination.



And then there's this guy... LOL!

One of my favorite snacks is a peanut butter and banana sandwich! I will make a massive one tonight!

You guys make me Hungry

I'm going to have myself 2 peanutbutter/chocolatsprinkles sandwitches and yet another cup of Eucalyptus/Peppermint/ElderFlower-Tea; about my 5th cup of tea today

If it didn't work then at least I enjoyed eating it.

I may have had negative results with the last dozen 'magic aids' that have been periodically brought up, but damned if I'm not trying this one anyway .

I tried this last night - about four gobs of peanut butter right before I went to bed. Not sure if it was placebo, but I had three dreams that I distinctly remembered and the last one was pretty vivid, long, and I was semi-lucid through most of it.

I'll try again tonight.

Peanut butter and bananas this time.

I'll try this tonight (which is now mostly.) Just ate 2 Tbsp. of it. I'll post my results tomorrow.

I spent the majority of the past 36 hours sleeping, with no lucid dreams. I did have at least 6 long, vivid, non-lucid dreams! Considering how my dream recall was virtually non-existent, I think the peanut butter is having a positive effect! Can't say if this is placebo or not, but I don't really care as long as it continues to work!

I didn't have any LD during those 36 hours though, and actually I was so well-reseted that I had trouble staying asleep (which for me is rare!). I think being tired has a huge influence on having LDs. I'm going to make a concerted effort to exhaust myself physically before sleeping and see if this has any impact. I hate going to the gym, but to have LDs would make it worth it!

wow im really enjoying my dreams now, Peanut butter is giving me cool journey dreams. Last night I was on top of some mountain on some expedition, and I could see the whole horizon. I felt so refreshed and happy when I woke up.

This is to contrast with my typical vague boring dreams. Thanks Westonci!!

This sounds great I will have to give this a go.

Shall we try to find the perfect Amount/combinition/time to take peanut butter.

Next time you try this tell how many teaspoons/tablespoons you had. If you mixed it with anything else( peanut butter and banana sandwich or peanut butter and chocolate[reese's cup]) and tell if you took before going to sleep or during you wbtb.

I think this will help find the perfect combination.

I will try this tonight and post my combination/results.

I have been doing 4 heaping tablespoons of Jif creamy peanut butter. Take it right before going to bed. The first night I just did that, the next couple I washed it down with milk and once with some hersheys special dark chocolate.

The time I had the 4 LD in one night was on 4 plain heaping tablespoons of the stuff. I was physically exhausted, which I think plays a huge part. The other times, I was very well rested and just had normal, vivid dreams.

I tried eating a heaping tablespoon full but felt like I was gonna throw up half-way through. I just can't eat that much peanut butter. I DID have a rather intense dream the next night though.
