and is it a good thing to eat it before sleepy time?

Milk contains tryptophan, which makes you feel sleepy and REM (deep sleep) is where dreams occur. It's probably not the cheese making you dream, just that you are sleeping, although I must admit, I have terrible nightmares if I eat pizza too late at night.

Some experts say it's not advisable to eat cheese late at night, as it's hard to digest. I guess eating a little wouldn't do you any harm. As to dreams, I doubt they have anything to do with cheese.

I think there is an additive in the cheese that makes you dream, but I am not exactly sure what it is.

Eating cheese makes me want to drink milk which makes me
want to sleep,in case you wake up at 2:30 and can't get back to sleep.

Not sure, I heard on the radio that it's an old wives tale, and it turns out cheese actually helps you sleep!

I don't know but I can tell you that my Mum, b.1911 & hers b.1882 told me it did. Never had that effect on me, but "never eat cheese for supper" is likely based on experience.

Cheese does not make you dream, period.

They say not, but it doesn't affect me. I often have cheese and crackers for supper
