It helped me have my longest LD During the summer last year. Of course it could just be Chocolate Placebo @_@

Yep - I ate some fudge, along with a huge amount of ice cream at my friends house, and had an LD!

It could have something to do with the small amounts of Caffeine present in chocolate. Many people have noted that caffeine helps your mind stay more aware during sleep. Chocolate doesn't have a lot of caffeine, but if you eat a large amount of chocolate, it's probably the same effect. Not to mention the dopamine and serotonin present. I'd say that drinking a can of pop before you go to bed might have a similar effect, though probably lessened due to the lack of dopamine and serotonin in pop.

Nevertheless, I'ma definitely give this a try!

I ate about a quarter of a (big) bag of Hershey's Kissables (those mini candy-coated kisses) before I went to bed last night. I had a weird dream where I had to play the same part in a play I did almost 10 years ago without any rehearsal, weird situation. But I didn't manage to get lucid.

I've been downing chocolate all day today, we'll see how things go tonight.

Well, chocolate (and all sweets for that matter) are said to make a brain hyperactive. Notice most of these replys said that they ate lots of it first. Well, I'm guessing that it triggers hyperactivity in dreams, thus making them lucid. Theory.

Notice he says he also ate a bunch of ice cream. That has lots of sugar in it too. I'll try eating more swet things instead of chocolete.

I ate some raisins and those are really sweet and packed with sugars, just not the same kind of sugar in chocolate.

Would those count, I am trying to eat healthy now so that I might receive more Lucid dreams cuz I read that some guy went from junk food to a "really health conscious" diet and got Lucid every day.

I am hoping that it is not just chocolate ( although I love chocolate and refuse to give it up completely ) but anything with sugar after reading bc's post.

I always seem to remember more dreams when I have chocolate milk before bed. I think I'll down two glasses and see what happens.
