An Effing Foodie: Blame the Blues for Funky Dreams

Blame the Blues for Funky Dreams

'Tis true! Scientists across the pond say that eating Stilton thirty minutes before bed will increase your chances of jacked-up dreams.

"While 75% of men in this category experienced odd and vivid dreams, a massive 85% of females who ate Stilton had some of the most bizarre dreams of the whole study – although none were described as bad experiences. Highlights included talking soft toys, lifts that move sideways, a vegetarian crocodile upset because it could not eat children, dinner party guests being traded for camels, soldiers fighting with each other with kittens instead of guns and a party in a lunatic asylum."
--British Cheese Board

(Don't you wish you could drink with some of these people???)

Some quick tips on cheese-steered dreaming:

for dreamless, steady sleep, grab a few crumbles of cheshire
for pleasurable dreams of sun and pampering, ladies should indulge in brie (men tend to have abstract, talking-animal-types of dreams on brie)
for dreams that include celebrity cameos, cheddar's the way to go
