Entada Rheedii: African Dream Beans

[SKA]

I remembered this large African Bean I read about that is also a ''Dream Potentiater'' an it's supposed to give you vivid dreams too. It's called Entada rheedii and it's a large Chocola brown Bean. I'm planning on ordering it from Azarius Smartshop (http://www.azarius.com).

SKA, did you try Entada Rheedii by now?
If so, how did it go?

[SKA]

haven't tried it yet. Wow this Topic is old.
Nevertheless am I going to try it. The beans are 3 euros per bean. On other sites they may be cheaper but nothing significantly cheaper.

I might order about 3 of them for a test trial.
Thanks for reminding me; Dreaming has been less and less significant to me since my recall has dropped and my bio-clock isn't in it's best shape. Getting to sleep in the first place is now more important. :P They tried Heavy opiates, I believe Valium, on me before, when I was about 15 years old, to help me asleep and even those couldn't knock me out for sleep so wish me luck. And any help-me-get-to-sleep-methods you might know would be most appreciated.

I will order them soon and report back about the results. Or lack thereof.
Anyone else here who has experience with these DreamBeans?
Also; If anyone is willing to experiment with these beans together with me that would be nice. Let me know. More results from more, different people will tell us more about these Dream beans.

SKA, make thread title searches for insomnia, insomniac and insomniacs, and you will find some threads with suggestions. Here is one that I started: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/showthread.php?t=37897
I hope it helps you.

Another idea that I though of recently: Get ready to go to bed, in terms of what you wear, making sure you don't need to go to the bathroom, etc, then go and sit next to a hitter, such as an electric hitter. Stay pretty close to it for a while, (but not so close as to burn yourself). The hit makes you very sleepy, so just when you feel sleepy enough, turn the hitter off ( it is very important to turn it off!!!) and then go immediately to bed, before the sleepy feeling wears off. It's better that you don't sit on something too comfortable when you are next to the hitter, because then there is the possibility that you will fall asleep next to it, which is very dangerous

I hope this helps : )

I checked out the site you linked to they don't seem to have this BEAN you speak of.

Oh they have it allright. I ordered 2 beans from them. Click out the "Read it here"-link. It is a link to the page where you can read about the product AND order it.

I tried smoking 1 bean (broken out of it's shell, using the crushed white endosperm inside) in a pipe. The smoke was pleasant tasting, however I noticed no change in dreams. Did ythis on 3 nights without success.

Smoking is the only method I have read about for this bean. Info on the Internet about this Bean, and specifically on Dosage and method of ingestion seems REALLY scarce and incomplete.
I now still have one of the 2 beans left and I am wondering what to do with it.

Anyone?

Well, if had you not just finished espousing it's uselessness you could have sold it to me. haha.

[SKA]

I am an honoust man. If I were to sell you something, it'd be cause it's good and I'd be enthusiastic to share the positivity, not so much to make a nice buck scamming people with worthless crap ( Like all those online smartshops do.)

Not to say that it IS useless. Just might need a different dosage and/or method of ingestion.

Is there anyone who has, or can find, information on the method(s) of Use and Info on dosage of these beans?

I just read as story much like yours. This guy tried to smoke the seed with no results, but then he said he ate portions of the seed, and that seemed to do the trick. The website is :

It's in the customer ratings part.

I checked it out on wikipedia - Bad News - its the leaves that cause vivid dreams,:(

From wikipedia :

Entada rheedii is a large woody liana or climber. It is also known as African Dream Herb and Snuff Box Sea Bean. It is often spelled as Entada rheedei, though initially published as E. rheedii. The alternate spelling is to correctly honour Hendrik Adriaan van Rheede tot Draakestein (1637-1691).[2]

Its leaves are dried and smoked to induce vivid dreams. Its seeds are found on east and southern African beaches, having grown on river and estuary banks and in swamp forest. They have thick and durable seed coats and can survive lengthy periods of immersion in sea water. These seeds are sought after as pieces of jewelry and as good-luck charms. As a result of its ready dispersal by sea, Entada rheedii is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical countries bordering the Indian Ocean.

The plant is also used as a topical ointment against jaundice.
