I thought I was being mocked when I was told that my nightmares last night were due to my cheese pie attack right after I went to bed. I had never heard of such thing. I can believe that food can interfere with your mental processes and state of mind once there's a whole chemical mambo-jambo going on in the digestion process, but having a sort of cheese Inception sequel... yeah right. Why would cheese or any other kind of food give you nightmares? Not just a nightmare, I'm talking of hours of nightmares, one after the other, horrible ones very vivid and (sur)real. It was so frightening that even awake from one of them, in which I was experiencing something similar to a panic attack, I was still in panic and had to sit down in bed and tell myself many times it wasn't real.
Had to ask today the know-it-all-master: the internet, to find out that apparently there is a correlation between one and the other. Cheese + before bed = nightmares. It seems that cheese it's hard to digest, which makes the body keep working hard to process the food while you fall asleep. Although you think you're resting and sleeping, your body is still awake and maybe as revenge sends those horrible nightmares to the brain.
I remember having cheese at night before (maybe not right before I went to sleep), without having it causing me nightmares. Still just as precaution from now on if I'm hungry before bed, I will just have my good'ol glass of warm milk.
