Hello Lucid Dreamers!

I am new to this forum, Im not sure if this is the correct place for this but I would like to introduce myself a bit and then I'll get into the topic.

I stumbled upon this website while searching google for lucid dreams and it quickly became a site that I checked regularly for tips on dream control. I have been having lucid dreams for a while now, first time I can remember was when I was 12, and its always come relatively easy to me through DILDs (Dream Induced Lucid Dreams). I guess I am what some people on this forum call a "natural." I am now 21 and lucid dreams have become more frequent for me since I started getting more interested about them and reading more. I love lucid dreams because the world of dreams is amazingly entertaining and I feel lucid dreams can reveal secrets about yourself that you might not know you even had.

Now for the topic, Im not sure if this has been done/said/talked about before, I did a brief search through the forum but didnt find anything.

I have used Salvia Divinorum, a mind altering LEGAL drug, before and for those unfamiliar with Salvia it is a plant that when smoked has mind altering qualities. Ive heard the effects are similiar to LSD or Shrooms, however I havent fully tried those drugs so I can't make a comparison. What I do know is that Salvia induces a kind of dream state only much more intense, and for me at least, alot of the trip was like a frightening dream, just wild and out of control. It is not surprising to be scared since many people report, and I can vouche for it, that once on Salvia, you forget who you are, where you are and what you are! Its a trait of Salvia that makes many people, after trying it once, never try it again.

So, while smoking cannabis with a friend yesterday I had a "genius" moment, I was thinking about a lucid dream I had just had the night before and about how dream control was coming easier for me, it is then that I thought, "If I can control things in my dreams when im lucid, and when tripping on Salvia you are in a dream-state, then could I use my improved control of lucidity in dreams to take control of my Salvia trips and control them in a similiar way as dreams?"

So what do you guys think? Has anyone ever heard of or even done this before either with salvia specifically or any other hallucinogens? Ive heard that experienced trippers can control their LSD and shroom trips just with their minds, similiar to what we do for our lucid dreams.

I was also wondering what kind of interest you guys at Dream Views have on this subject as I will be doing a bit of "experimenting" with lucidity and salvia trips shortly, hence my screenname Lucid_Tripper. I would like to know if anyone is interested in hearing about my results with salvia so that I dont feel it a waste of time to submit my findings to this site in further posts. I hope to get some replies and any ideas or criticisms to gauge the interest level.

Thanks for reading such a long post and i hope you find this subject as engaging as i have. Please let me know what you guys think! :D
