I was not aware either that Taurine had a positive impact on vivid dreams and dream recollection. I guess it makes sense though, since it does work in the brain a bit to help you feel sharper mentally. Taurine is definitely a great supplement for those who need it, so it would definitely be an easy one to add in for vivid dreams. And as far as I know, taurine does not have any negative side effects. Sounds like a good one to try.

Wouldn't drinking an energy drink before going to bed keep you awake?

sometimes i drink an energy drink before i go to bed, like an hour before, most likely will be Bawls or SoBe or Xyience. haven't really watched a correlation between those and the amount of dreams i had. the only "method" so far that i know for sure for myself that will get me a dream is the WBTB method, even if its simply waking up in my bed for like 20 seconds and falling back to sleep.

but ill deff try to watch my dreams next time i have an energy drink before bed

Actually, energy drinks, at least Rockstar and Redbull, are not energy at all. They actually make you sleepy. Taurine is a neuroinhibitor NOT a stimulant, why it has such an effect on dreaming I do not know but it does. If you just google Taurine you will get a lot of links that talk about vivid dreams.

I do not know how the producers of energy drinks can call them that when they have such ingredients that are KNOWN relaxors.

Ahah! So my friend and I weren't wrong at all....we noticed that each time we were drinking energy drink....BOOM Dream.

Taurine isn't the only ingredient in Energy Drink uhoh. And probably the Relaxation is a keu part to activate something else in you system or whatever, I'm pretty taurine is there for a reason =)

Yeah, but this thread is concerned with Taurine, not the whole energy drink no matter what brand. Taurine is an amino acid and is shown by itself to have the same effect on dreaming. I just learned of it because I had been drinking an energy drink for the B vitamins. I did not know about Taurine before.

Now I am buying Taurine in vitamin form.
