I've been in a total dry spell for a while now-- maybe some chocolate could help bring the LD's back! :D I'll give this a shot tonight, and if anything interesting happens, I'll be sure to come back here and post it. gni

I didn't have a LD for a few months, and last night i had one or two cups of hot chocolate (usually never drink or eat chocolate) before i went to bed and i had a long LD, actually one of the best I ever had. I didn't think of the chocolate until i saw this topic this morning after i woke up! eek2
After this i believe chocolate has got to have some sort of affect on dreams!
I'll have chocolate tonight too!

I don't think it's the caffeine because I've been drinking coffea and energy drinks every day the last year(lots of caffeine ;D), or could it be the small dose of caffeine? Small enough to let me fall asleep early but large enough to keep my mind conscious?

For about a week now i have been on a steady chocolate diet. I am quite the chocolate connoisseur and have the stuff i have been eating has been AT LEAST 60% pure chocolate. I have been eating loads of it especially before bed noticing how much of a stimulant chocolate truly is and I can say that it has affected all aspects of my dreams. I have noticed a definite increase in dream vividness and have woken out of dreams with a racing heart rate only to eat even more chocolate and dive back into my new chocolatized dreaming realm. Along with achieving lucidity several times during this chocolate adventure my sexual dreams have been absolutely amazing. I still have about a pound of chocolaty goodness left and will continue my adventures because although it is addictive, the benefits for me have been through the roof.

Ya, listen to Duck, that much chocolate can't be good for you . One good thing about it is that you have confirmed that chocolate is affecting our dreams. wink

Tonight I will drink a cup of hot chocolate with a sandwich or something and 100 mg of Vitamin B6 to see what that will do cuz I heard that Vitamin B6 helps you get more vivid dreams. If anyone would like to clarify how exactly, you're more than welcome.

coulterIV, your post put me into a laughing fit grin I've noticed the same things, more vivid, and simply realizing that I'm dreaming more easily. It's sort of funny though, I never think, Wow, this is probably because of the pound of chocolate I ate last night, in the dream.

Oh yeah, I found a stash of dark chocolate from when my mom went to the Ukraine. I'll try it again tonight.

I have read on many various websites that eating choclate makes your dreams much more vivid. Is this true?

Well, it definitely did something: Almost had a lucid dream.

In the dream, I was delivering some package to some company, when I ran in front of a mirror. I looked at myself, and somehow realized I was dreaming. Should I try to control the dream?, I thought. Or should I deliver the package? Hmm... I'll deliver the package, it's more important.

So I went on with my dream. sadblauw

I really think it helps. Because i have experamented with it for almost a week, and had results every single night. Although the LDs were more semi-LD (where you have a sort-of half control of it).I think it is better used as a "stairway" to normal lucidity.Hope this helps! smile
