Anecdotally some b6/b12 supplements have given both me and my partner very intense dreams and vivid recall. No idea what the mechanism might be (Or if it's a preservative/etc) but potentially an interesting data point?
- dwighttk 6y agoI’ve heard Stilton cheese has a similar effect. (Haven’t tried) Also whatever malaria drug I took was supposed to have intense dreams as a side effect. (Don’t remember any)
- esperent 6y agoIIRC the cheese thing is basically a myth, any heavy food in your stomach when you sleep will cause you to sleep less deeply, wake more often, and consequently, remember more of your dreams.
- dwighttk 6y agoMakes sense... I usually only remember dreams when my sleep is disturbed so this matches up.
- rmilk 6y agoFunny that some medications have these dream effects. An uncommon side effect of Montelukast is vivid nightmares and sleep paralysis. It’s a relativity common asthma control medication, but was recently moved to a not-recommended status for younger people because of this side effect. My personal experience was pretty intense nightmares 1-2 times a week if I took it before bed. Taking early in the day stopped this side effect.
