    A Walmart Trip

    100Mg-5htp prebed
    Bedtime 10pm
    Wbtb 2:30a-3:00a
    400Mg L-theanine
    2 capsules Calea Z
    1 tablespoon Calea Z in tea form. The taste was not so bad compared to wormwood!

    I felt tired and mellow. I relaxed easily and attempt WILD. I took awhile to clear my mind. I tried the counting but it kept me too alert. I then focused more on a version of SSILD. Pretty much the same just more free flowing and less structured. I lose consciousness pretty quick.


    I am in Walmart. For some reason I take 3 large Styrofoam cups from a soda machine near Subway. A cashier says something snarky and the door greeter reprimands her for it. The cashier says, "Oh I just like to give her husband a hard time." The woman is older with gray hair and I assume its someone that works with my wife. I don't know what to say so I just smile politely and walk on by. I am heading to the back of the store when do my usual awareness stuff and notice that I feel really odd. I think, That Calea Z. is kicking and now I'm stoned." I stop walking now and begin hovering down the walkway. I pause to get my bearings and taking in the dream scene.

    For some reason I am instantly kicked back into vibrations. I don't feel myself in bed but I know I am about to have a OBE. I am not excited but really content because its been awhile. I feel my face turn into a huge smile.

    Then I hear a phantom alarm clock. I don't know if its real or not and worry that its time to get up. I reall want to look at the clock but I know I'll lose the dream if I do. I briefly debate with myself but all the worry cuts off the vibrations and I am fully awake.

    The time was 3:23am. I had just got back to bed from a WBTB ending at 3am. I practiced WILD for a good bit before losing consciousness this literally was the first dream.

    I took a good while to go back to sleep and I didnt think to WILD again or even SSILD. I remember no more dreams after this. Perhaps Calea Z. has a really short half life. Or maybe I need a higher dose. It definitely doesn't compare to Galantamine.

      Congratulations on the LD, you Calea Z tea-drinking shamanistic badass! I'm glad that the tea wasn't too bad. I've never messed with Calea Z but I'd heard that the tea was a little nasty. I laughed when I saw that your first thought upon becoming lucid was "Now I'm stoned."

      The tricky thing with these exotic substances is that since you don't really know how they work and they have no other therapeutic purpose (that I know of), it's hard to know the right dosage to use. I guess experimentation is the only way.

      And I hate that phantom alarm clock trick! That's made me bail out too early on an LD before, too. It's so convincing-sounding and at the very least it's bound to raise your stress levels and make it harder to keep the dream held together. It just pulls you a bit too much back into the physical world, I think.

      Sounds like a nice success! How much of your ounce of Calea Z did you have to go through?

      Yea, there is very little data on it an almost zero scientific data as far as I can tell. I'm not even sure what it did for me except maybe raise my mental alertness just a bit. I may try adding some B vitamins next time.

      I was a little pissed I fell for the alarm. I think that happened once before but it was a weekend so I knew better. It was just so hard not to check the time. I should know by now that any time I am in SP/vibration stages, nothing is real.

      It was a little success. I still wish the dream was longer but I was pleased with how the WILD went. It turned into more of a DILD but there was little time span there.

      I think I still have about half an oz. I really didn't consume very much of it with one tablespoon and two capsules. I also dedicated about two tablespoons to my resin recipes. So that should be interesting when its done.

      Yeah, it's tough to know how to make the most of things without data. Without things like peak plasma studies, you really are stuck with guesswork. Did you even manage to find anything on whether WBTB or pre-bed seems to work better for the Z?

      It's still really easy to get fooled but I feel like we're both getting better. You really have to be pretty aggressive about assuming you might still be dreaming. Family voices, alarm clocks, the sights and sounds of the bedroom... that stuff comes through super-realistic and it's so easy to buy it when lucidity's fragile.

      So what's this resin thing? Is that a type of candy? What you need is a brownie recipe. Calea Z space cakes. This is where it's at.
