Thread: Does what you eat before bed each night affect dream recall?

bland, maybe something like mashed potato's of salt free chips.

Bitter is a little tougher, so far only persimmon comes to mind. I'm working on it though

Double post, but....
I've found that doing this experiment is really increasing my dream recall!

How's it going for the rest of you?

I'm not sure if it's changed my recall yet. I've been using my DJournal each day to see how many dreams I have each night and see if the type will change from what's usually been going on. I think the idea of being "a subject of an experiment" also has an effect psychologically but I'm pretty sure I'll simmer down and it'll become more standard. (I'm particularly looking forward to the week of sweet snacks!)

Note: I decided to send my notes to you once a week to keep you from getting a flood of PMs/e-mail.

ALSO: would you consider rice on its own bland?

Yes! Rice would be good!

I remembered about 5 dreams last night. Funny CT was in 3 of them. One of them a lucid!(not with CT though) WOOT!

I've been getting a maximum of one so far. n_n

wtf did I do in your dreams, seeker? o_o

I would like to state that I am officially sick of salty foods. I don't like salt. Yeeech.
( I'm ready for week 2 already! )
Seeker, what are we going to eat for sour? Sour-straws?

Meh, I've only been able to get hold of things that have mild amounts of salt in them. Ready Salted chips and stuff.

yah wutever. never read it right, was tired. as it says. wooyah.

Sour... Chineese? I'm sure there are some sour foods out there somewhere......

CT, in one of them, you were helping me landscape my front yard. We just installed underground utilities and the front yard is a huge muddy mess right now.

I might have trouble coaxing my mom to let me eat a takeaway every night for a week x_x

Toldya in chat, I never done it this week.

I don't know about you people, but I'm finding it damned hard to find anything sweet in my house. I ran out of cake pie things...

Sugary drinks.

Well, counting the sugary drinks, I managed to scrape about 4 days in. I may, after the end of both rounds, do that week again..
