Just for my own sick curiosity: has anyone heard of the old myth that certain types of cheese cause different dreams?I ask because two nights in a row I had stilton and roquefort cheese before I went to bed (about an hour or so before) and I had the strangest dreams both nights. Granted, two times is hardly a reliable sample; but it seems interesting regardless.I looked up the myth and lo-and behold stilton was said to cause some very odd and vivid dreams (now I'm biased towards that result, naturally)Anybody else ever experience odd dreams on account of (legal) edible products?

Cheesy dreams

I'm not familiar with the cheese idea, but it seems plausible that some foods (like magic mushrooms) will have an effect on they neurochemistry of the brain.

I was told that eating cheese before bed would give you bad dreams and a disturbed sleep because cheese is difficult to digest and takes a long time to digest so your body would still be trying to digest it while you slept.......

Oh Yeah!!!!I never touch it in the eveningsStrong fermentrd are the worstBlue-vein...etcCRAZY NIGHTMARES

More to do with tha active fermentation culture I was told

The only thing cheese has done to me aside from tasting good, is plugging the exit plumbing when I eat a block of it for lunch with some crackers.We cant keep cheese in our house, a 2 lbs block of damned near any style and flavor will be gone in 2 or 3 days.

Cheese contains a lot of the biologically active amino acids histidine, tyrosine and tryptophan. When cheeses are aged these tend to break down to histamine, tyramine and tryptamine respectively, which have some psychoactivity - some tryptamine derivatives are hallucinogenic, for example. So there may be something in it. Stilton and roquefort are highly aged and do have a reputation for inducing strange dreams.

What what WHAT !?I wasted money years ago for LSD, shrooms and peyote when I only really needed cheese?Fucking hallucagenetic??You have got to be shitting me.Are you shitting me Ineligible? Id never shit you, your my favorite turd. Im going to have to look this shit up, do some research, if itsright I may of found a new drug to sell to the masses and its nto even illegal ! they cant lock me up for selling old cheese ! Fuck me, I guess your really never to old to learn something new.

You'd have to eat a lot of cheese to have a similar effect to a minute quantity of LSD.
-
I figured that, but theoretically, could that agent be harvested from chese ? could cheese me engineered to make more of it as it aged? to be come more potent and then harvest it for resale or use?
-
I'm not sure how safe or effective those substances would be in high concentrations and large quantities. Meanwhile, mushrooms are easy to find, and LSD is relatively easy to make in the lab.

actually I have detailed instructions for making LSD, its not that easy. It may be if you know more about chemistry and have the equipment, but with my chem knowledge, its as good as impossible just from looking at the directions.Its really hyothetical anyways since my drug days are over. I may well enjoy some shrooms again at some point, and Im in favor of occasion adult use of maryjane and enjoy her myself a few times a year, but over all my drug days are far behing me and I dont care to go back to them. I am especially against LSD, too much damage, too many bad trips. I cant say I didnt have any good times understand, but Im smarter now and dont need that shit in my life anymore.
