Catalysts to dreams

[Worker&Parasite]

Are there any known Catalysts to dreams?

We all know the old wives tale about eating cheese before going to sleep. In my experience that isn't true, but is there any basis in the idea of food stuffs having that effect on the mind?

Im partly interested because I love dreams and even nightmares, but never seem to have any.

Try B-vitamins.

I have heard that sleeping on a pillow filled with hops (the cone-shaped flowery part of a vine used in making beer) will allow vivid remembrance of dreams, though I have not tried it myself. Maybe also a hops tea? Dried whole hops can be gotten or ordered from brewing supply stores. You might also find fresh hops if you look around.

I was on RX Tramadol for awhile and that stuff gave me wicked vivid dreams.
