      Calea Zacatechichi - Questions!

      I've read some good things about this dream herb and I'm planning on buying some soon, but before I do, I wanted to ask a few questions.
      First of all, do any of you have any experience with this herb or know anyone who does?
      Did you have an LD or did you at least have a more vivid dream?
      Would you recommend it?
      Is there another herb/lucid aid you've tried that worked more efficiently?

      Thanks everyone.

      I have written pretty extensively on this herb. I like the 10X extract. If you want - PM me and i'll tell you who I buy from.

      I wrote a recent post on Calea + nicotine, I offer a summary of Calea's effects for me with and without nicotine.

      The best lucid aid is Galantamine/Choline. Nothing else even comes close.

      For some reason my mom thinks that the herb is probably dangerous even if you take the recommended amount or even less. I told her I did all my research and its alright to take in small quantities and its legal. I told her it was illegal in Louisiana and she said "Hmm...I wonder why...". I told her when I get the money, I was going to get some anyway....

      Thanks DrTechnical! I'll definately research the Galantamine/Choline and experiment with it. And I'll keep in mind that I can PM you if I have any questions. Your help is very much appreciated.

      Okay I dont know how to put this, because one might say Im an authority on supplements and their effects on dreams; having tried just about everything.

      I havent gotten Galantamine/choline to work for me.
      I take it during the WBTB, start to WILD, i get numb, and fall asleep.
      Nothing every happens.

      The only WILD success I had was with the Amino Acid Blend.
      Everything else ive researched or tried was to induce DILDs.

      I have Calea Z in both the pill form as well as the herb. I've tried smoking just the herb, which honestly has done nothing for my dreams. It does relax you though - not noticeably so like marijuana, but your senses feel more heightened like you can concentrate better so I suppose it would be go for a WILD.

      I've tried the Calea Z pills and tryptophan mix and I haven't had a lucid per se, but I have had some pretty crazy "mini" dreams that happened when I was on the cusp of waking and dreaming. One in particular involved me looking up into a dome glass cathedral made of all sorts of multi-colored stained-glass panes. It was incredibly vivid, but incredibly short and I wasn't even asleep yet.

      Other than that, no lucids, but I'm still experimenting with the dosages and such.

      Well no doubt everyone is different.

      I don't want to hijack the thread. But by way of comparison, my lucidity rate w/ Calea is maybe 50-60% in concert w/ WBTB.

      When I take Galantamine/Choline and do WBTB I typically have a few lucids. Generally one WILD at peak effect (60-90 minutes) and one or more DILDS later.

      Two nights ago I used G/C. I had one lucid after another. I only remembered 3 distinct DILDS but I know there were at least 2 others. It was insane.

      The only other chemical I have in my system which is uncommon and I believe helpful to lucid dreaming is Salvinorin A. You can do your own research on that one.
