What I never got about this, was it a common thing at the time for bad food to cause bad dreams? I’ve had plenty of indigestion and related discomfort but I don’t think it’s ever caused bad dreams.

You never had Victorian England food poisoning though. If the food manages to make you sicker than the poop river to notice it, I'm sure it was a bad time.

I don't know about common, but it is very much a thing that certain foods can make for weird dreams. Usually, it's food that can really mess with your blood sugar while you sleep, like pasta or sweets, or things that can produce mild discomfort that then keeps your mind a little bit awake and dreaming at times, like spicy food.

Of course there's a huge variety of foods that can have those same generic effects, but needless to say, spoiled or undercooked food can also make for a bit of an uncomfortable night!
