To Dream, Or Not To Dream

I just read a post by oceantiara which asked the question: "No Sleep, No Dreams." The question seemed to deal mostly with how to induce sleep. I would like to approach it from a different direction. I would like to ask if there are any foods you could eat or anything else that might induce dreaming?

Hahahahaha! Yep! Just eat some of my eggrolls! 
I made eggrolls once... only once. Everyone who ate one had a very weird dream that night! Not nightmarish, just weird. Mine was about a giant rabbit chasing me on a horse until it caught up with me. Then it turned into a man in a rabbit costume who told me to "Quick! Put this on!" So I put on the costume, got on the horse and rode off.
Anyway, I think was it was that the food was not easily digestible. That's why caused the dreaming, or a least that's what caused that specific kind of dreaming.
You dream in the first and last stages of sleep. If you're dog-tired and fall sound asleep every night, then wake up with an alarm clock, you won't remember dreaming, or you won't dream at all, since you're kind of whizzing right past those 'dream stages'.
But, if you want dreams you'll remember, eat something like my eggrolls soon before going to bed! Pizza is a good culprit. Anything spicy that causes the least little bit of indigestion will give you dreams you'll remember.
This discussion is making me sleepy!

Can they be any egg roll or do they have to be yours? Just think, you could market them and call them "Egg Snores", a dream of a lifetime in every roll. @mentalward (14690)

I believe they have to be my eggrolls. 
I've never experienced this phenomenon before with anybody else's eggrolls. 
That's why I only made them once! LOL I told everyone at the time that I would never try to make eggrolls again and, so far, I've kept to my word even though it was 37 years ago!
