Thread: dairy products and nightmares

Hey Calypso,

I think you are right about this. I had a nightmare this night and I drink a cup of chocolate milk before going to bed. I will investigate further because I don't like nightmares that much. My nightmares are always about people breaking into my house. I hit the one this night, but that happens not that much. I also scream when I have nightmares, not so great for my neighboures.

I also have a reaction when I drink caffeine before going to bed, It's a weird stomach feeling, like I'm falling. But I can't control it and it really physical hurts.

Do you have experiences with caffeine, besides not falling asleep that fast?

With the amount of caffiene i consume on a dialy basis, it would be hard to tell. about 400 mg a day to be percise. I hardly ever remember my dreams when i wake, only perhaps once a month do i remember dreams and its either an amazing dream that im pissed off to wake from or its a vivid nightmare, which i do enjoy.

As for a falling feeling what i get often is i will have a falling feeling and i will react and my leg will kick up as to prevent me from falling and ill usually kick my bed post with my shin and wake up it hurts like a mofo.

caffiene, a lot of coffee has creamer or milk products in it.

Im almost 100% sure if my body is breaking down dairy enzymes whilst i sleep, i will indeed have a nightmare, it has never failed me before.

I appologize for the double post in advance

Im going to drink some milk tonite before i sleep, I will report my dream tomorrow, its almost midnight here in iraq.

I appologize for the TRIPLE post in advance

Well i conclude dairy does cause nightmares, which is a good thing for me!

I never remember my dreams or i dont have them, maybe once a month do i get dreams. So nightmares are better than no dreams.

It's funny, milk and yoghurts don't influe on my dreams at all, but cheese does give me nightmares (cheddar, old mimolette, that kind of hard cheese).

I think thats due to the fact its a solid state dairy product, its takes more time to digest
