Most Effective Lucid Dream Inducing Foods

[Eric]

What's worked best for you? And how long do you think that they last for after eating them? (it takes me a while to fall asleep)

Well, when I heard that apple juice was a way to induce lucid dreams, I drank about 2 big glasses of it with a couple ice cubes (along with 5 minutes of binauaral beats) just before bed, and that night I had several lucid dreams. Apple juice to me so far has been the most reliable of anything to improve my dreams being vivid and lucid.

Dark chocolate. Not for any chemical property, but because I like WBTB more if there's a square of dark chocolate involved.

Hmm.... I'm honestly not sure what foods have helped me induce my Lucid Dreams, though I do somewhat believe that the various vegetables--namely onions, broccoli, celery, and (plain) potatoes--for which I've maintained an affinity have had something to do with it. Then again, I could be wrong. On another hand, I think my decreased consumptions of food may have played a role in it, too. Though I do have a small meal every now and then, there are many time periods in which I go entire days without eating--I usually have more precise dreams during those phases. ...Erm, to be more direct, do one's dreams in general improve when he or she fails to consume a fair amount of food? Thanks in advance.

Lemon Tea.

In the past I've found that taking B vitamins can help induce very vivid dreams which generally mean good dream recall. It doesn't make you become lucid necessarily, but having very vivid dreams is half the battle. What I mean by "vivid" I suppose is the difference between say waking in the morning and barely being able to remember you dreams, to remembering quite easily your dreams because they were so strong and vivid. When I was first told about this technique I think it was a particular B vitamin, might have been B-12, but I can't remember. However I've had success with taking B Complex just before going to bed. Also it seems to work better if you are lacking in the B vitamins to start with. i.e. If your not already taking them. It doesn't work night after night. At least that's been my experience. -Sitsu

Dark chocolate. Not for any chemical property, but because I like WBTB more if there's a square of dark chocolate involved. Actually chocolate has theobromine in it, which is related to caffeine. The darker the chocolate, the more theobromine. The doses of it in how much you would eat wouldn't be necessarily enough to feel much stimulation, but it could likely make a difference as far as dreaming goes. Who knows, maybe it's helping you chemically too and you just don't know it.

So I tried to have apple juice last night. I had a full glass about 30mins before heading to bed. Also had some Doritoes and a bit of milk before having the AJ Maybe I was tired, but SP seemed to be mocing on more rapidly. Vibrations, limbs feeling like they weren't there, sound of my fan would fade out, head had slight outward pressure, head and body felt like they were spinning (no HI spots like usual though), although it did seem like my mind was putting a scene together like the cockpit of a jet... odd. Everytime I started to feel like my head was spinning, I think I focused too much on that even though I was thinking, "I will remember my dreams." Well, my first one I don't remember much of. Actually, glad I wrote it down coz I don't rememebr it at all. All I have is, "Some guy handing out free LDs" (lol) Then had another, more lengthy dream before waking up to get up So seems AJ isn't the best for me? I will come to a conclusion when I finish the AJ jug. Cranberry juice seemed to work better for me with 2 fully recalled dreams and a partial whilst AJ got me a partial and a full recall Again, will keep going with AJ until it's gone

bananas, I hear they have this chemical in them that contributes to lucid dreams, more vivid dreams. I notice my chance of having a lucid dream or vivid dream increase slightly if I eat one before sleep.

[TheAnonymity]

Sodium increases vividness. Eat lots of salty stuff before bed. Suggestions.. 1. Beef Jerky 2. Pretzels 3. Salted Peanuts 4. Anything else with a high amount of sodium (300mg+)

[Alexanderctk]

The salt thing worked for me. I drank a mug of salty vegetable broth before bed. I recalled 5 dreams and all of them were vivid. Tonight I will try apple juice. Also, I remembered 5 dreams instead of 2, but that might be because I have today off.

[LucidPower]

i just take B6 and sometimes melatonin...usually helps alot.

[Aumanawa]

i've notice that eating a clove of garlic before bed increases the number, vividness and overall interestingness of dreams, hence, making them easier to remember...two lucid dreams in the past two nights after garlic....then again, i wonder...with any of these things..the placebo effect...if you think it will make a difference it probably will....

[Ari]

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:

[darklight101]

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.

[JohnnyScene]

Should I take melatonin to help with my insomnia and to try and get a LD?

[RandyA92]

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

[slugmuffin]

looks like i replied to the wrong one

[Mobulus]

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
