Certain food items or types of food have no affect on dreaming. Good or bad dreams are unrelated to food. However, indigestion or gas pains can be influence dreams, which might express discomfort during sleep.

Answer 3

People believe it's different things for example: Excessive eating of Sweets, cheese etc. This is only a Theory but however mainly eating too much of any food can cause nightmares.

Eating anytime close to your bedtime will usually cause them (within 2-3 hours). Foods high in calories or fat content, then the body has to burn off the calories while you're asleep.
