RP recommended that high protein meals be consumed in the morning, and high fat/sugar at night before bed (like ice cream). It was very noticeable that when I didn't eat cheese before bed, if I was too lazy to get up and eat some, I would have lucid dreams all night long. It's a very consistent result.
So I'm not sure if this is a good effect or a bad effect. I enjoy the lucid dreams, and I can't recall them ever being nightmares. They are interesting, usually about parties, school, and other public social gatherings. I had a couple experiences in which it appeared my dreams mimicked my physiological state. I had a nightmare when I ate something bad and was about to puke. After I tried some psychoactive substance, my dreams were weird for days after, and three days after I dreamed about a waterfall, then woke up realizing I was peeing. So logically, since the dreams are interesting and even sometimes interesting, it could reflect a good physiological state. If the lack of protein caused buildup of estrogen and serotonin because the liver doesn't have enough amino acids to metabolize and excrete them, I would expect it to cause nightmares.
Lucid dreaming could reflect increased REM sleep, or reduced depth of sleep causing more wakefulness. It would help to hear of the experiences of more people to determine whether it's positive or negative. I wonder if RP has an opinion on lucid dreaming as well.
