Dreaming too much lately!

[leena129]

I wonder if anyone knows of foods that would cause nightmares/dreams which I rarely ever had before. Please help!

Have you been changing your sleeping schedule or something?
I used to never have nightmares, but then I started listening to this one song every night on my mp3 player (I just put it on repeat) and almost every night I had mildly disturbing dreams (like about animals dying) or nightmares. I stopped listening to that song when I'm going to sleep and I hardly have nightmares anymore.

Hi,
Foods and allergy to some foods is the biggest cause of nightmares and bad dreams. Normally spicy and fatty foods cause indigestion and heartburn. That causes bad dreams.
Nowadays a lot of people sample foreign foods Indian, chinese and others with hot curries or peppers. If they are'nt used to it it can cause bad dreams.
Another cause is badly cooked food or in case pizza or pasta, under cooked can cause horrors in the night.
Bon appetite!!

I think roughly the same as Wolfjk. If you eat food that is maybe off or not cooked properly this can probably lead to disturbing or unsettled dreams, (together with physical disturbance like a tummy ache). Also dairy products are meant to promote more than average amounts of dreaming.

I think eating anything substantial just before bed leads to disturbed sleep to at least some extent.
