I had been looking into foods that effect the mental state in hopes of locating a food that would "truly" alter the chances to lucid dream. With this I came across something so i gave it a shot, and was surprised with the results.
I found that green tea was long used by zen Buddhist's, because they understood that it had an amazing effect that allows the mind to be in a Relaxed Aware state. It actually lowers the Brain waves associated with Beta and boots those for Alpha state in most people depending on the strength of the tea.
Green Tea also contains caffeine that helps people be Alert and Awake, but in green tea it has a strange effect as it combines with l-theanine "Property of the Tea". This gives the drinker a more "aware" state rather then alert like you would expect from Coffee and here's where the magic starts. With the Alpha state of brain wave activity, and the aware state of mind given from the combination of Caffeine and l-theanine, you can have an interesting combination of relaxation & awareness.
This state of relaxation & awareness is perfect for lucid dreaming and most certainly WBTB or WILD.
I have been taking about 5-6 cups a day of Green Tea, and one cup 20-40 minutes before I go to sleep. Its been 4 days since I have started and I have had 2 spontaneous Lucid Dreams; both "Mid-day naps", and very Vivid Dreams at night.
I have also found that citrus will boost the effect of the tea, so I would recommend drinking some kind of juice after your tea for a boosted effect. Personally I have been drinking apple juice because of the benefits to lucid dreaming anyway.
I would love some people to give it a try and post some results with a combination of Green Tea + Apple Juice / Sleep or Nap.
Hopefully we will get some good results
