For what it might be worth, the gentleman who taught me how to dream, a shaman in the south Pacific, made a big point of telling me that those dreams which were induced by food or sleeping posture were the ones most to be viewed with suspicion. He had no problem with altering his consciousness in other areas, but when it came to lucid dreaming he relied entirely on what we would call self-hypnosis.
Its early days yet but I think I agree.
I wonder how this would fit in with well known 'dream herbs' which have been utilised for millenia?
The experiment certainly seems to be giving me personally, some interesting results which, in some cases, make no sense. So what you say Bradford, fits in with that.
Of course, it would be impossible to live without consuming anything so in some ways all dreams then become suspect but deliberate consumption of something directly before sleep is more the issue.
I am surprised about the sleeping posture though. The Tibetan yogas of dream and sleep place a lot of emphasis on postures for men and women.
