Everything that happens in our waking life, including things we don't particularly notice, can influence our dreams. Also, all of our memories, especially childhood memories and family relationships, influence our dreams. Wait, there's more . . . the religious stories, images, rituals and symbols of our family, our nation, our culture, all of these are great storehouses of material that may turn up in our dreams. Add to that all the television you have seen through life, all the movies you have ever watched, all the music you've heard -- all influences in your dreams. And all this time, you thought you were only sleeping.....

∙ 11y agoMany things can influence your dreams. Because you remember dreams more clearly when you awaken while the dream is occurring, any food, drink or medication that disturbs your sleep might cause you to be more aware of your dreams. Probably the most common factor is caffeine from coffee, tea, soft drinks and especially from "energy drinks." Alcohol might make you sleepy for a while, but it can also cause you to awaken frequently during the night. Certain prescription and over the counter medications are also known to cause sleep problems or trigger bizarre dreams. Because different individuals react differently to each medication and combinations of medications, your pharmacist is your best resource for further information.
> Contrary to popular belief, there are no specific foods that cause nightmares or weird dreams. But any food that bothers you, or causes indigestion or gas pains during the night will disturb your sleep and indirectly lead to your remembering more dreams.
> Many other factors can influence dreams merely by disrupting sound sleep. Some common examples might be noise in the room where you are sleeping, traffic sounds from outside, insects buzzing or irritating objects in the bed, restless pets and mischievous siblings.
