A Simple Smoothie - Dry spell cure and lucid dream improvement?

**Loaf** · 02-28-2010 05:06 AM

Heres the deal. I've been having crap recall, unvivid dreams, no lucidity, and poor sleep. My family and I decided it must be a diet issue. Yesterday I had a smoothie. That night, I got lucid three times, in the most beautifully vivid dreams you could imagine. I also remembered all of my dreams (I think, much more than I usually do at least) and got better sleep.
This is what the smoothie had in it:

Milk
Banana
Raspberries
Blueberries
Boysenberries

I didn't have yogurt in it this time around, but it probably wouldn't hurt.

Give it a try. It would be interesting if this was a remedy to dry spells.

Thanks! I'm going to try once I can get the ingredients, then I'll post here if it was helpful.

I really hope it helps Raven. Then the shared dreaming experiments can get serious!

He he...

Interesting, never heard of Boysenberries. Thanks for the smoothie, will try and give it a try

The milk and bananas are probably the real key. They both have high amounts of melatonin in them, which is known to increase vividity in dreams. I tried having a cup of milk and a banana an hour before bed a few months back, worked like a charm... till I ran out of bananas.

I like going with frozen strawberries, OJ, a bit of milk/heavy cream, bananas, and assorted berries.

Delicious, nutritious, and I can see it being a smashing lucid aid.

That sounds delicious! Will the milk still be a useful ingredient if it's Lactaid milk instead of normal milk? (Lactose free milk for lactose intolerance). I'm not sure if they only take out the Lactose or what.

I'm trying a banana-apple-orange juice smoothie tonight, since I couldn't find berries. I seem to recall apple juice and orange juice having a positive effect on dreams.
I'll let you know if it does anything. Last night I had no recall, so it can only improve.
