Isn't it scary that food and medicines can make you dream freaky things?

Question

If they can control your dreams, does this mean they also can control your thoughts? When I eat onions, I dream about bugs and creepy crawly things. WHY? How can onions effect my mind like that? Isn't that kinda creepy?

I was on this one allergy med one time that made me dream almost every night that one of my family members died a horrific death. Freaky.

Am I the only one who is CLUELESS about what Mr. Mister is talking about?

Answer 1

Interesting topic Heron By The Sea (I'm curious how you came up with that ID? I love it!). It is a known fact that food can pick up energies and thoughts that occur around it. Like for example, onions grow under the ground where bugs and creepy crawling things live, so it has picked up those images. And when you eat the onion, you are digesting the onion's energies and images from being under the ground. Maybe you just naturally are more sensitive than the average person. It's never happened to me before.

Amma talks a lot about how important it is to chant your mantra while cooking or preparing food because if one reads the newspaper while cooking, then the person eating the food will end up thinking about the news or newspaper. I read a lot about this topic in her "Awaken Children!" books. She knows whether her brachmacharins were chanting their japas or what they were thinking while cooking because when she would eat the food, she would tell them the thought they were thinking when they made the food and remind them to focus on their japas.

You know that japanese guy Dr. Masaru Emoto who wrote the book "Messages in Water"? He proved that water could be affected by the thoughts and messages spoken to it and took photographs of their after effects of the message spoken to it.

Like if you say a blessing with some Holy names, the water crystal became very beautiful, sparking and bright. If you said a bad word to the water molecule, it became distorted broken, etc.

This is proof that all objects whether food or not can be affected by thought waves, sounds and energies and retain them. Medicines are processed in factories. Obviously not good energies. That is why I do not like taking medicines. I avoid them when I can.

It is important to say blessings or a mantra first before eating or drinking so you won't be affected by whatever energies it has.

This happens to me too! Another is usually the last dream I have just before waking up - and that's not from eating something. Or if I go back to sleep after being up I have fricken sleep scares!
They also can control the way I feel that day - If I remember them!

P.S. Therapist told me 'you can control' your dreams! I do know that I've worked through some stuff in my dreams! Each time I'd confront something I'd been dealing with and each time I became stronger in winning the situation!

Heck now I can fly in my dreams - that's so cool! Can actually fly over trees, look down... I love those dreams!

Answer 3

Freaky isn't it? Foods don't bug me but some meds I take cause the most bizarre and freaky dreams in the world!

Answer 4

One of the many times I tried to quit smoking I used the "patch" and you would not believe the dreams I had. Talked to others and they said the same thing happened. The dreams were so vivid and I was lucid, meaning I was aware I was dreaming and could somewhat control the outcome so to speak. I would wake up soaking wet.

Vitamin B6 also induces lucid dreaming as well as melatonin. Many anti depressants can cause vivid dreams. It even says so on the side effects.

Try typing "lucid dreaming" into any search engine (ie google) and you will be amazed at what you find.

If you want an real mind trip, rent the movie "Waking Life" by Richard Linklater.

Answer 5

What's scarier is that doctors don't have to study the affect of foods on the body or the brain for that matter.

That is really freaky, and a horrible side effect. Bet that wasn't in the description of drug interactions....

Answer 6

Vegetarian Diet
In respecting and caring for our bodies, diet needs deep consideration. A vegetarian diet is especially beneficial in developing the clarity, concentration and subtle focus which spiritual development requires.

With an understanding of the power and quality of thoughts and vibrations, we also give attention to the quality of our consciousness as we prepare and eat our food.

As the food so the mind, so what we eat definitely matters, onions are good to body but not good to the mind. Its scientifically proved. thats the reason why sadhus and people leading a spiritual life don't eat onions. It don't help mind at all.

Answer 7

I get that too. When ever I have hot cocoa or marshmallows I have nightmares. They can range from anything to everything. When I have them together it is much worse. I don't know for sure why this happens, but yes, it is very freaky!!

Answer 8

YES you bet.

Sometimes Medicines PLUS Food make matters WORSE!!!

YOU learn the HARD way, by being a Guinea Pig!!!

I ALWAYS forget about the SIDE effects of taking
Antibiotics!!!

YOU can get a UTI - Urinary Tract Infection/Bladder Infection. ALWAYS drink 100% Cranberry Juice and/or eat Yogurt!!!

Answer 9

I can't say I have noticed a connection between food and my dream content. But I do have a really strange reaction to codeine and it making me dream about things trying to get me and hurt me.

Answer 10

The brain acts as a regulator for your other bodily functions.

Thinking and dreaming are ways the brain stimulates the body to keep it operating properly.

It is only logical that if you ingest substances that disrupt your body functions, your brain has to work harder to keep it regulated, so you have vivid dreams or if not sleeping, unusual thoughts.

It's natural.
