no.\nbut it doesn't mean it can't happen.\nwe still don't know exactly the biochemistry affecting dreams, and specifically nightmares. we can't even be sure there is a unique chemistry to nightmares.\neating cheese before bed-time might change to a small extent the chemical balance in your brain, but it probably changes as much as many other different foods. \nfrom the little we do know about brain-chemistry, metabolism of food and the connection between both, it seems improbable that this is true, but hey - be your own guinea-pig :)

Like almost every myth or legend of this type I am fairly sure that it does have roots in something true, however, like said myth legends there is no doubt that it has been changed and inflated through word of mouth retelling over time.

No! That's complete nonsense. It's pure folklore or something that someone came up with when they were bored.

Will this really work?

Not entirely. Yes, it is true of some, but not of all.

No.  It is all a scam.

Good question. Maybe they're misadvertising.
