Does garlic give you nightmares?

[sistawendy]

I made chicken adobo last night as I've done so many times. The recipe calls for quite a bit of garlic, which is apparently characteristic of Filipino cuisine; the Filipino diner near Pike Place used to offer garlic fried rice for breakfast.

I. Love. Garlic. But just before 0200 this morning, I awoke from a nightmare. I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened. So:

I vote no, but, then, my mom was Filipino so I grew up used to it! Of course, I DID have a lot of nightmares as a kid...

Perhaps, but it should keep you safe from vampires.

What if I’m the vampire?

[parityanimal]

If you're the vampire, it should definitely give you nightmares!

This is definitely something I've never contemplated but if garlic did do that, I'd've noticed, so I'm answering no.

Voting no, because I don't think it's the garlic. It could certainly be an upset/unhappy tummy of some sort though.

I refuse to blame the adobo because that is food of the gods.
