Why does cheese make you dream? Any other foods do the same thing?

Supposedly because it's difficult to digest. The activity in the digestive system stops you sleeping deeply and provokes activity in the brain.

It doesn't well no more than a lot of foods; millions of french eat cheese late at night after their main meal and they never complain.

Much of this is to do with the digestive processes keeping you system fairly active whilst sleeping, keeping you in a light sleep where you remember your dreams its usually best to eat light food if before bed if you must eat at all, this way its easily digested and the active system slows down more quickly allowing you to go into deep sleep when you don't remember dreams
