We've all noted how rawpalaeodiets have helped improve men's sex-drives re increased testosterone levels etc.. Here's a study showing that men's ability to sleep properly declines with age, and this is blamed primarily on the reduction in testosterone levels:-

Rawpaleo sleep is awesome. Get into bed, pass out and wake up refreshed with no sensation of any troubles in the night.

I know. Having suffered from severe chronic fatigue pre-rawpaleodiet, it was refreshing to finally be able to read or watch TV more than 30 minutes without feeling too tired to continue etc. The only catch is that I no longer am aware of my dreams - I'm sure I'm still dreaming but I fall in and out of sleep so quickly I don't notice.

How cool would it be if the article ended like this: "But this problem can be instantly and completely solved by adopting a raw meat diet!"
EPIC WIN

Me too...which makes me think that it's not all that important to interpret dreams. Maybe they're just a reflection of whatever overnight processings going on in the brain.

Apparently, dream recall is associated with vitamin B6 - I've experimented with this theory before by supplementing with B6 sources before bed (hi-pollen honey, pollen, brewers' yeast) and I definitely find a more lucid, deep identification with the dreamscape and its potential relevance/association.
Dreaming is/can be an awesome, creative process. Substances (e.g. cannabis sativa) that impact neurotransmission before bed can be very welcome potentiators - even an easily digestible form of tryptophan can catalyse mindscapes that one could barely even envisage.
Does anyone here practice lucid dreaming?

My dad does, during sleep paralysis.

Theres articles all over the web that say that the general reason for dreaming is because you arr stressed and this is your bodies way of relaxing the mind. I believe there was also a link to diet.
