That sounds fishy. But whatever floats your boat. |

Ive read many accounts of people using Salvia Divinorum, a legal psychoactive plant. I have experience with this plant myself and i must say it is very powerful and should not be done unless one is fully aware of the effects. One thing common with "breakthrough" experiences is the user is instantly thrown into another world. On some occasions people actually act out what they are doing in this experience and after 10 minutes they come back with no recollection of what they did. This makes sense if you were thrown into a dream and you weren't paralyzed you would most surely act it out. This is also one reason why this plant is dangerous, even though it is 100% non toxic to your body. It is a very intense and powerful experience and i would say it is a 100% effective method to go straight into a dream. Some people may say that its just hallucinations, but what are hallucinations really? And isn't a dream just a very vivid and all-encompassing hallucination? Anyways there is a lot more i could say about salvia but i just want to know what people think about this idea and if anyone has had experiences with this legal plant. |

The worst mistake you can make is to think you're alive when you're really asleep in lifes waiting room.

I might compare the effects of a psychoactive to dreaming (might), but certainly not lucid dreaming. Even with a lot of experience you are still going to be taking in external stimuli, and interpreting that, and you can't reach the same level of control that you could in a dream (especially with something like salvia). There are experiences that, on the surface, will be similar, but at the same time, there are experiences you will only be able to have while dreaming, or with a psychedelic (some people might say this is even arguable), but to me it's apples and oranges. |

don't you take in outside stimuli in dreaming too? ive had dreams where it was storming in my dream only to wake up and see a storm outside my window. I would say its possible to be able to control it like a lucid dream. But its not the same and it only lasts like 10 minutes. I agree with you that its like comparing apples and oranges, but apples and oranges are still made of the same atoms and even then they are still about %99.999999999 empty space. So in essence they are the same and yet they are still different. |

That sounds like a really bad idea, and justifying it by saying psychoactive substances are produced naturally by our own body is a faulty argument. Do you know whats also produced by our body? Poop. That doesn't mean we should eat poop. Obviously, poop has a specific purpose that our body is just happy to control beyond conscious thought. Yes, doctors will sometimes regulate bodily functions for the sick, but they are doctors who have studied medicine for many years, not just ten minutes of wikipedia browsing. I hate to bash your statement but I think you possibly disliking me is less important than someone reading this and trying it out. |

dreaming and hallucinations are not the same thing. You have to sleep and be in REM to dream to put it in extremely simple form. You are not sleeping when hallucinating, So it isn't a dream. Certain parts of your brain are active/not active when you are dreaming that's different than halucinating. And taking drugs to "supposedly" get LDs is NOT healthy. Maybe taking something your body needs (like vitamins) to help LDing is okay, but taking something like salvia just isnt a good idea. |

Heh, I had never heard of this before but I have to admit I think I'm going to order some. I've always been very curious about LSD but too afraid to try it, especially after learning what a bad trip does to your brain physiologically |
|
I might debate that. The psychological damage thing is really only a worry if you have a history in your family, or some other risk factors, but I'd say there is way more potential to have a bad trip with Salvia. I have seen people have bad trips on LSD (had one myself) and we weren't permanently scarred (it didn't stop me from doing it again either). I have just seen way more people freak out, and actually need to be restrained on Salvia than on LSD. Set and setting, and other factors you control help make sure an LSD trip goes well, but Salvia is way too unpredictable to really be in control of. Several people I know have been scared away from doing Salvia again from a bad trip. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Amelaclya was being sarcastic |
|
I thought Salvia was made illegal in the U.S. Where do you live? I could be wrong, I just remember hearing that in passing. |
|
In somnis veritas - In dreams there is truth
it is legal in the everywhere in the US except Louisiana. And i believe you cant ship it to certain states. |

People who do LSD freak out on Salvia -_-, let alone someone who has never done a psychedelic drug before. Bad advice to be telling people to try it if they aren't into that type of thing -_-. |

Yes please do not do this unless you are 100% sure you want to try and you have read this http://www.sagewisdom.org/usersguide.html. Also i would go to www.erowid.org and read as many experiences as you can. |

sounds addicting....and dangerous |

"Still up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams and make them mine" -Scott Stapp
Salvia is not physically addictive, and also very unlikely to be psychologically addictive. But anyways I can see what alfy984 is trying to say... and I believe that dreams could be just like hallucinations except in dreams our bodies are paralyzed making us unable to act out the actual actions. Obviously Salvia isn't for everyone, and should be taken only by people who know what they are doing. Anyways, I think that Salvia could enhance our LD experiences and inform us more about the mysteries of that other world. |

Very well said, thank you for that. Great topic and lets not let it die out. |

I tried it, 20x extract.. I didn't think I did it the right way because it did nothing! the second time, when I closed my eyes, I did enter the sleep world tho.. felt like people were pulling on my body and dragging me lol D: and I saw a huge windmill in the sky, it was really weird ^^ but then someone entered the room.. |

This can't be a serious question. Why the judgment? Lets see ... you are drugging your brain, pumping it with chemicals to an unnatural state of hallucinations. Yes, we see things in dreams, but dreams are not dangerous! If dreams were dangerous, natural selection would have wiped us out a long time ago. |

Hey, don't want to get personal over this thread but, no one is persuading you to post here, not to mention that no one is encouraging you to try Salvia. If you do not like what is going on then you are free to leave at any time. |
|
When I 'tripped' all those experiences made A LOT more sense then... you actually felt what they were talking about. |
