He felt very clear about the idea, so it was worth a shot. But the next morning, we all compared notes, and there wasn't a significantly higher number of odd dreams. All the same, I've since heard that bananas contain a precursor to seratonin, and can make the consumer "calmer". ;-) Always new banana rumors...
