How can you say if a substance works if you have only tried it one night? Or is your dream recall so stable, that you can notice even the slightest difference? But for me DR may vary greatly from day tot day.

Idk anything about improving, but Tylenol Sleeping Pills kill recall, vividity, and most likely lucidity. Remember that, it could save your life ;) But it probably won't save you or your life XD
I think this food thing is very suggestive. If youve had a food and a LD it could often be a placebo thing imo. I personllay do peanuts, and fishoil. Seems to give me above average LD opposed to when i dont. Me thinking its the food or the if its the food itself that induceses positive LD effects is really not that important.
i don't know.... this sounds like a lot of food to eat before bed. to me it sounds like the unanimous decision is on apple juice, teas and B vitamins. i'll see what works for me
Hm, I'll have to try the apple juice, but don't have any right now.. no milk either. I did hear stuff about pomegranates and cranberry juice, and I have some pomegranate-cranberry juice right here. I'll drink some before bed for a couple of nights and tell you all how it turns out! c:
OMG! Have u ever heard of OBE's ( Out of Body Experiences)? i really feel like u DEFINITLY should look into that because from the things that u described u were almost on your way! Definitly, please look into it, it will open up a whole lot of doors for u, and plus it is 10 times better than lucid dreaming, actually its like SUPER MASTERY of lucid dreaming! although its way better, and u dont have to do 2 much bcuzz ur so close! please post what u find, if u decide u want to look into it! Its NOT CRAZY, Its *TRUE* life. PLease jus look!
Me thinks its a spammer. xDQuote:

The most incredible night of LDs I have experienced happened before I knew anything about LD.
It was early April and my final term papers were due that week. I was incredibly stressed, short on sleep and under nourished. My gf and I decided to relax after getting home from the library - in this case relaxing meant we ate a wheel of camenbert cheese - I had incredible LDs that night. Although they were very violent and terrifying the experience offered potent catharsis. As a side note, I feel that I may be predisposed to having LDs, considering that I have had a number without the aid of any technique. Perhaps it is due to my schooling in philosophy. I am working on my thesis in the phenomenology of art, a subject that requires a good deal of introspection.
After that night I began to research dreaming and I found that vitamin B12 (noted by previous posts) has been know to induced vivid dreams. I also found out that triptophan (an active ingredient in white turkey meat, and some cheese, most notably Parmesan) has been linked to increase consciousness in dream states.
So following Liz Lemon from 30 Rock, I recommend getting your night cheese on - and I mean a lot of cheese - the good stuff, not Kraft Singles. Lets see what happens!
I know this thread was started a while back but I thought I would respond anyway, I'm sure this topic never gets old.
Although it seems counterintuitive, I have found that having at least two glasses of red wine before bed works incredibly well for triggering LDing. Maybe it is because sleep isn't that deep after consuming alcohol, but it's almost a sure fire thing for me.
People say alcohol is crippling to recall but it's always helped me for some reason.
quinoa based meal wow
this can be something than a lucid dreamer expert can research. I mean a "dreamer" can find the right food to make more vivid the dreams in the dreamworld.
Should I take melatonin to help with my insomnia and to try and get a LD?
DMTRaffort, I agree. A lot of cheeses are very good at causing lucid dreams and great dream recall. One in particular is Stilton cheese. An aged bluing cheese. Look here for more information. Stilton cheese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
looks like i replied to the wrong one
I have discovered a very tasty aid. 5 strips of bacon on an empty stomach right before bed. Works wonders for my flying adventures...Maybe not so good for the heart/cholesterol, but it works like a charm:D
oh crap, just 8 more days left to dream then the Mayan doomsday...gonna eat loads of bacon
Definitely will drink some apple juice, I really want my first LD tonight!
I am new to this site and found my way here because I never even remember my dreams but started searching around since I recently got on a Pomegranate juice kick (sell at trader Joe's) and without fail, If I have a big glass before bed - I will have VERY VIVID Dreams - that even wake me up at times if they are intense enough. They are so detailed and I remember so much about them. It is a really neat experience for me when I have no idea what I dream about otherwise.
