Other studies and surveys have been done since the British Cheese Board, one survey included first year Canadian University students if they thought food influences their dreams and if so what foods. Lancashire cheese led two thirds to dream about work and more than 50% of those who ate Cheshire had a dreamless sleep. British Brie cheese made all 100 female participants to have relaxing dreams and the majority of the men had cryptic dreams. Of those who ate Stilton cheese 85% reported to have very unusual dreams, cheddar cheese led to 65% to report about have dreaming about celebrities, where as Red Leicester cheese had over 65% have dreams about their childhood.

To give you a summary of this study, 200 people (100 male and 100 female) volunteered to participate in a week-long study where “72% slept well every night, 67% remembered their dreams and none recorded experiencing nightmares after eating a 20g piece of cheese half an hour before going to sleep.” Dr. They did this study because of the common myth at the time saying that cheese gives you nightmares.

So now I pose the question, can certain foods cause one to have vivid dreams?įirst I decided to see if this idea is even true. I didn’t know if I believed her so I tried myself and that night I didn’t have a dream at all, or at least I didn’t remember the next morning.
