Thread: Apple Juice = Vivid dream?

I hear orange juice induces lucidity also.

So you rekon orange squash would work?
Or maybe I should eat some apple instead?

Eating apple helped me last night.

I think this was buried since this thread is so long. Everyone should read this response, kudos to Dodo

A quick google search for antioxidant rich fruits revealed these lists:

It seems that among fruit, berries are especially rich in antioxidants. I suggest that in addition to apples we try them and see if they affect dream vividness and lucidity.

Awesome. I'll try this!

Edit: Woah Shift; I've never seen higher amounts of win in a single post!

I had an apple the other night and I had an epic dream.

Not lucid though

I am trying oj soon, every night I have zinc, cheese, apple, and mustard.

I wonder if these will ever work...............

Yea, I'm pretty awesome... lmao!

Nah. Just goes to show how important it is to read not just the end of a thread, but every post within a thread. Some real gems buried on this site, it's a shame more people don't go scouring like I have

btw I just chugged 36 oz of apple juice. I'm off to take an epic nap full of kickass lucids. Updates to follow!

You are right Shift I've just read 15 pages of FILD. My eyes are in trouble but I'm more satisfied

"36 oz of apple juice"
Jesus christ!
That's a lot of apple juice.

If i'm remembering what oz are correctly; that is.

It didn't work for me, but the conditions were all wrong. I'll try again in a few days with the apple juice, a call before bed kept me up for a couple of hours. It's back to the GalantaMind for 2 days.

Today I bought a gallon of Indian Summer apple cider on my way home from work, and drank a bunch of it before my nap. I did have some very vivid clear recall, and almost got Lucid.

But I can't say for sure if it had anything to do with the apple cider, because I've been pretty focused on inducing a lucid the last couple of days. My recall always gets vivid and clear when I'm well focused on dreaming, regardless of what I eat or drink. So who knows, but I'll keep trying it. Can't go wrong, because it tastes soooo good!

Another 12 oz and I had one of my longest, coolest lucid dreams! Unfortunately towards the end I lost lucidity so it's gotten hazy

Anyway... this apple juice... it seems to be pretty consistent... I would love to do a real 2xblind study!

Sounds awesome Shift, Congratulations!

I'm going to get some more tomorrow. Sunday nights are my Fridays. Hopefully it will help intensify the REM rebound I normal get from little sleep during my work week.

Well I read orange juice helped, so I drank a glass before bed last night.
I went to bed at 11pm. Woke at 12.40am after a vivid dream.
This was highly unusual, as I normally don't remember 1st dream of the night until 2.30 at the earliest, but mostly 4.30am.

I'm going to have a glass over the next few nights and see what happens.

what about apple cider?

I tried an apple juice before going to bed.. only one glass though.. no notable difference..


@Shift: do you keep a dream jorunal for all your Dilds?

I had some blueberries and apple juice last night, and another batch of crazy vivid dreams, one of which I became lucid from.

Sure do. Not online, though. I only post ones I feel are relevant to share online.

I asked the wife to pick me up two cartons on apple juice at the shops today.
I'm planning to try a wild Saturday Morning.
Lets see what happens.

The juice does not seem to make any difference on my dreams. I actually have had better recall on the nights I didn't drink any.

I'll tell you what did have an effect though, watching the movie "The Strangers" just before going to sleep. I had one of the most intense nights of dreaming I've had in a long time that night. And that was one of the nights with no juice.

What about apple cider?
I seem to have LDs with it too

hmm there seems to be something to this apple thing...

Won't apples help you LD in the same way as sugar, or coffee will help you?

I mean, apples are more effective at keeping people awake in the morning than caffeine, and sugar is obviously helpful in keeping you awake, so why not just take a tonne of sugar during WBTB then go to sleep before the sugar kicks in...

Will this work?

apples juice increases the production in the brain of the essential neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and acetylcholine is very important in REM Sleep
