do you think what you eat before you go to bed had an influence on what you dream about?? I know sometimes i will tell my mom a dream i had and she will say something like oh man you must have had pizza before you went to bed. is this true.

People say so but I doubt it. I've never had dreams that relate to food or what I've been eating. I think this is wrong. Its not true.

I don't know if what you eat can influence your dreams but I know that, in my case, if I eat too late, I have very agitated dreams and even nightmares. Also if the food is too heavy, it makes the stomach work harder and struggle and it troubles your sleep. I usually try not to eat immediately before going to bed.

I have heard that what you eats does influence what your dreams consist of but right now I don't remember any of them. My mom used to say the same thing!
