cheese.

Harlequin was mentioning serotonin levels etc…

Just another tid bit: Chocolate Chip cookies also increase levels of serotonin in the brain. So how about CC cookies and milk? Hummm, gonna have to try that tonight :wink:

Cheers

Milk and cheese are rich in tryptophan which is a precursor to serotonin. I have heard that heating the product causes the tryptophan to become more activated and I have found this to be true in my experiences. Figuring that milk was good and heated milk was better, I went to the next level of drinking heated half and half or even a heavy cream/half and half mixture. I add some hot cocoa mix to make it palitable. Some of my best dream sessions follow taking this before sleep. Highly recommended- and if it fails you have some awesome hot chocolate but with about a million calories…

Ewww I hate cheese by itself… and milk too :razz: But I do like milk and cookies! Yum LoL Okay I’ll try this stuff tonight and tell you guys what happens :wink: Hope it works… That’d suck if I ate cheese for nothing :bored:

How close to when you fall asleep do you think the dairy products would need to be consumed? I love cheese, I love milk and drink it every night with dinner, and if I just need to have some more before I go to bed that would help with LD’s… That would be a complete heaven for me :cool_laugh:

Interesting all this about cheese. My nephew has always said never eat cheese before you go to bed, it’ll give you nightmares… Not in my case, there has to be cheese in my supper somewhere, I sleep better if there has been… I also tend to drink milk in one way or another just before I go to sleep (or when I wake up hungry in the middle of the night)… and I am usually quite good at remembering my dreams…
Food for thought indeed…

Ive had a lot of success with cheese. Just before bed one night i had a few cheese roll ups with about half a pack of shredded cheese. By chance later that i night i stumbled on the suggestion of cheese to help Lds. That night i had remembered about 5 dreams all of which were incredibly clear. Im giving the cheese all the credit for that one but who knows. Maybe i’ll try it again and see if i get the same results.

:smile: All this talk of food my stomach is rumbling now. So I’ll have a cheese sandwich and then go to bed.

Mmm… Cheese… I’ll try that tonight.

Ahh … there’s a recipe on the Atkins Web site (www.atkins.com) for “Mexican hot chocolate.” It calls for heavy cream, cocoa, cinnamon … all kinds of yummy ingredients. Big on calories but supposedly A-OK if you’re doing a low-carb diet. Now, if it’ll prompt LDs, all the better! Can’t wait to try it.
