Today I was talking about sleep in general psychology, which of course, lead to dreaming.
A student reported that she had vivid dreams if she ate salad in the evening. Her mother and sister, did as well, but not her brother and father. She actually attempted to study it, by manipulating her salad to determine if the vivid dream was affected by specific ingredients. After three years and various conditions, she thinks green leafy is the key factor. Cabbage, lettuce, spinach will kick them in, but not other green vegetables such as green beans. Various PsychInfo searches produced nothing on point, although I didn't expect to have leafy green and dreaming to produce many research article. This is a serious and good student. I have no reason to believe she is kidding around, nor am I. Any thoughts? There is the obvious double-blind green puree study, but I don't know if I can get through the IRB. tom Thomas J.
