Which is better for LDing?
Educated guess: I’d settle for healthy… a healthy body brings a healthy mind .
I don’t know but those Ramon Cups of soup, pizza, etc seem to help out a bit.
On the short run perhaps, sure. Even heroine could perhaps help in such a way. On the long run however, you want to be lucid the rest of your healthy life, dont you?
I’ve been recently coming to suspect that anything with lots of MSG in it is detrimental to my dream-life.
Early this year I noticed that my dreams were noticably more vivid and more easily remembered when my roommate splurged on salmon (it was plentiful and cheap for a while), and made salmon dinner 3-4 times in one month. I did some research, and I realised that my diet was deficient in omega-3 fatty-acids and a few other things.
Taking the appropriate supplements would definitely boost my dreamlife for a while, until the deficiency was remedied. After the deficiency was remedied, my dream vividness and recall would settle down to something less dramatic, but definitely improved over last year.
That would make sense seeing how some of my relatives dream. But short term it does improve dream recall slightly, but how does this compare to having a salad or something as a last meal/snack?
Do you mean last meal/snack before bedtime?
Its probably not going to matter what you eat right befor bedtime, because its probably not going to be digested and matabolized that fast.
Anywhoo, some healthy foods that make for interesting dreaming for me are warm milk, cheese and potatoes.
Nothing like a plate of poutine for supper for having lucid dreams
Exactly how effective is eating food? Exactly how much does it really help your brain? seriously is it really that effective enough to where if you don’t eat you will slim your chances of having LD? It just seems like the most non-effective way probably unless you eat very large portions of what your serving yourself
But I don’t know, i figured there are %90 more faster easier ways to have LD then just eating a food that doesn’t make you feel like your going to have a LD but maybe in the long run if your lucky.
Since your brain gets the energy it runs on from whats in the food you eat, I’d say it’ll definately have some effect on you.
Ok , looks like I’ll have to take it more seriously. I’ll start a LD diet. I wonder which would be the most effective LD diet
I see whats on the main site here, but I have no idea if thats the most effective.
i can take writing a dream journal everyday. but changing your diet?.. how cruel can you get? haha. whatever. i’ll give it a try.
Well I consider myself eating healty. I certainly don’t eat junk food, and I eat almost everything organic.
What I noticed, when I’m in the US, and you can’t avoid junkfood, I do have very weird dreams. But then again, you can’t blame that on the food only, because it is also a different environment etc.
I wonder if that guy who did the 30 days Mc Donald diet (he made a documentary of it, I think you must have heard of that) has paid attention to his dreams that month.
He said he felt ‘addicted’ to the food, so I bet he must’ve had some weird dreams that month.
After McDonald’s my dream recall tends to be slightly hazy.
I’ve heard a lot on peanut butter (or any other nut) being helpful.
I actually have had luck with fruit and green peppers (what I always have covering my pizza allthough it seems to work by itself just fine ). To me I think food has a mostly (not all) placebo effect, but we won’t tell otherwise
I think it is hard NOT to pay attention to horrible nightmares
Maybe he just couldn’t remember anything , that counts as a nightmare though doesn’t it?
Over the past week I’ve been eating a very unhealthy diet (I haven’t had much time or money to pick up the moderately unhealthy diet foods of mine). I’ve noticed my dream recall has decreased, and some other bad effects…At least for me.
