Nightmare and Vitamin Supplements

Once in a while, I had people in my dreams who were alive vividly but died many years ago.  They include my friends, classmates, neighbors, and relatives in various age ranges from little child to very old persons.  This bothered me a lot for over 18 years.  Even thougn everyone may have bad dreams even nightmares sometime in life, but mine were so lifelike and bothered me so much!  Although it is said that we dream those people we want to see but could not be able to, but I never thought about seeing these people, and they kept coming to my dreams.  I can still recall many sensory details of those dreams today. 

 

I am writing here is to share my experience - My nightmare disappeared after I took some vitamin supplement for a couple of days. I do not have such dream for many years since then.   Occasionally this type of dreams came back. In this case, I took the same vitamins.  To avoid any involuntary advertisement, I will not include the brand name of the vitamins here. It was just a type of multi-vitamins and minerals I purchased in the market.  I used it by simply following the instructions on the label.  I am still wondering which component(s) in the pill that really worked like a magic and assisted me get rid of the problem?

Reported studies indicate that having spicy food, fatty food, low blood sugar (starved), intake of extra amount of vitamin B6 (should be <100 mg per day) are all related to bad dreams. When anticipating labor difficulties, pregnant women may have nightmares before child delivery.  Despite many studies focusing on oneirology (the study of dreams), much more has to be done regard the causes and the actual process of dreaming, particularly vivid nightmares. Everyone who dreams frequently could be a researcher, if you record your experience and share it with others! Please take a minute to do that and do not forget to share!
