Ice cream helps lucid dreaming

**Kiwi123** · 06-20-2011 05:41 PM

i had some vanilla ice cream last night, and i had the most vivid LD so far. it truly was awesome! does this work for you?

Did you look up any facts on this? I really don't think it was the Ice Cream that was helping. Either way, I've got some Ben & Jerrys Cherry Garcia that I plan on devouring tonight. I'll see if it helps.

Ice cream? D: I love ice cream.. I'll have to try it once and see how vivid they are.. someone had posted about apple juice somewhere and I'm trying that tonight.

I eat a lot of ice cream with little improvement in vividness. I'm pretty sure it's because the variety I have doesn't contain vitamin B6, which is known to help recall and vividness.

What else did you eat that night?

Dinner. I had kabab.

I've been looking for something to take for B6...any suggestions?

Nutrient Information - Good Sources: Vitamin B6
^ Go crazy! I find tuna is really good, as is salmon (it's not on the list though).

I just had more than half a pint of peanut butter ice cream. Maybe this will work.

Yeah, bananas are awesome! We don't have any at home right now, though... Gotta get some more tomorrow!

Interestingly enough I went out of my way last night and googled what foods had the highest amount of B6, and of course Banana's were #2 right next to Tuna. I also found out eating cereal and having milk contains good amounts of B6. Being the curious bear I am, I ate a banana and had some milk before bed. I'm proud to report that the results were as anticipated and I certainly remember my dreams more clearly. Hopefully this wasn't a fluke and it will keep happening.

As for Ice cream, I've always had a habit of eating ice cream before bed but it did nothing for me. Maybe it's just the brand, who knows. For the most part, I think just eating the banana's before bed and some milk could do wonders.

I had some cereal with milk lastnight and some apple juice.. and I did notice that I still had a lot of fragments, but one of them was longer than my usual. My journal entry this morning just seemed a lot longer than the previous ones. So far I've been trying this whole LD thing for 3 days. All 3 I've had some sort of dream or dream fragment to write down.. so hopefully that's a good sign o:

Yah B6 seems to be a factor with DILD's For me Salmon and Bananas really do the trick.

**sskohli** · 06-21-2011 05:15 AM

I've had ice cream a lot before going to sleep, but to no avail.
Is it a special type/flavoe of icecream?

I'm guessing a sure bet would be banana ice cream, if I had to choose one. Then there's whatever that B&J flavor is called... Chunky Monkey?

Very tasty.

Mmm.. banana ice cream

I've read somewhere that if you freeze bananas and then put them in the blender it'll sorta be like the texture of ice cream. I tried it once and it actually turned out pretty good.
