For the past couple weeks I've been eating quite a lot of rice. It's easy, doesn't take too much time to put it in a rice cooker and press "go" button. This is quite a change from my regular diet that involved milk products, pastas, and wheat/rye bread along with fruits.

To add variety to the flavor, I purchased some beans - kidney beans, white beans and peas. I've been adding half a cup (140g) of each to my rice experiments for the past week.

The results so far are pretty interesting. I have experienced more clarity and better dream recall, even without a dream journal! There has been 1 natural DILD during that time.

This made me think of what is it in my diet that contributed to that. I found this great site about foods:

Both white and kidney beans have vitamin B6 and Choline:

While rice also has quite a lot of amino acids and vitamin B6

Today I combined rice, beans and apples, raisins and cooked it with some apple juice. I'll see how that affects my lucidity.

One thing is for certain: this is a much better way to get choline than taking stomach turning pills. I'm surprised at how good rice can taste if it has some variety of flavor s added to it.

What do you guys think?
