Ice Cream causes Spider Nightmares

A few years ago when I was working as an Administrative Assistant my co-worker was telling me that she thought her teenage son was nuts.  She explained to me, that her son was telling her that he believes that eating ice cream at bed time was causing him to have nightmare about spiders.

She of course thought this was totally ridiculous.

I on the other hand thought differently.   Years before when I was in my teens, I made the same connection.  I used to have terrible nightmares about spiders in my bed.  I finally came to realize that when I ate ice cream at bedtime (which at that time was a common occurrence for me), those were the nights that I had spider nightmares.

So I explained to my co-worker that I believe her son was right and explained my experience with ice creams and spider nightmares.

I was thinking about how food can affect the brain so much, that it can cause these odd reactions.

I would like to hear from you readers about your experience with any time of food that causes odd reactions (like my example of ice cream and spider nightmares)

Lets start a discussion!
