Food and dreams

[maralinn]

You see references in movies and cartoons to the idea that dreams can be affected somehow by food eaten previous to falling asleep. Surely this is a myth, but I can't find anything that says that. Can anyone suggest a source for some hard facts about that? This has nothing to do with whether one sleeps well after eating something; just whether specific foods or types of foods have any kind of influence on the nature of subsequent dreams.

TIA!

Pineapple juice makes me have very vivid dreams! It's kinda cool. Have a glass before bed time, and it's like going to the show to watch a movie.

Someone once told me that peyote and cheese sandwitches gave them quite vivid dreams.

Wow, this is the thread of the slow posters.

As to the OP, the UL I always hear is that eating Pizza before going to bed gave you nightmares.
