You know what spicy food does to your dreams? Well, I'm going to intentionally eat spicy food before bed so I can have weird nightmares.
Nightmares? Why would you want to give yourself weird nightmares?
I've always wanted to have weird dreams.
You shouldn't try to induce nightmares. It could lead to unexpected health concerns and disturb your mental health. Maybe you can work with a therapist if you want to influence your dreams in a safe way.
I'm going to try it anyway. I'll be fine.
Overdosing on spicy food so much that you affect your mind could hurt more than just you, though. If something goes wrong, it would also hurt whoever has to take you to the hospital and whoever is at the hospital that has to wait longer for help because you purposefully made yourself sick.
