Hi Different |

very interesting. I don't think I'll ever take it though, I'd prefer to learn and develop as opposed to use these types of aids to get better. |

Hi Different |

Yes, I'm just after lucid dreams, mostly DILD and DEILD, the occasional WILD. Nothing too extreme. |
|
It's definitely not meant entirely for lucidity (though it has been for some people, and I suspect it may be for me as well), but there are a few other african plants that do help and were used for conscious dreaming. It's more about causing vivid dreams and to increase dream recall, because to the Xhosa tribe, dreams were a very vital aspect of their daily life. Because I too find dreaming to be an important part of my life, I've been searching for ways to enhance it. |

Is it suppose to give you more third person, story like dreams? Because I wouldn't want all my dreams to be 3rd person forever cuz I prefer emersive first person ones. |
|
Not that I know of, it's seems common among what I've read but there's also some that never mention 3rd person like dreams. I think it may be placebo, because I'm expecting it to happen, but then again I haven't really experienced the "vividness" or amazing recall that others mention yet, i'll keep you updated. Here's examples from 2 different people: |

How much does it cost for the 3 months worth of doses? |
|
if you've got a scale and can really accurately measure it, 14 grams would suffice if you took 150mg doses daily for 3 months, which was recommended by someone from the DMT-Nexus forum, that took it for 3 months. Luckily 14grams is sold by herbalfire.com, which is where I got it, for 10 bucks. I messed around a lot with the doses though and since I don't have a scale to accurately measure, I may be taking more than 150mg, so I'm not sure if my 14 grams will last me. But I don't mind paying another 10 bucks to get the little bit left I need for 3 months, and then just keep the root for chewing even after the 3 months are over, as it has a few boosting effects that keeps you a bit energized through the day. In fact someone on that forum mentioned thats how he/she uses it, not really for dreaming, but he just likes the alertness it gives him during the day. |

Dreams from Last Night's Slumber: Woke up several times during the night but didn't record dreams, fell asleep easily. 1am-9am. I can't remember a single dream now, maybe if I meditate and think about it for a while. Nope, not really. Really starting to wonder if last few nights were entirely placebo, but I can't say for sure. |

Thats to bad nothing has happened. It seems like it started working in 3 days for those other people you qouted. You should figure ou the best way to take it and stick with it consitantly. |
|
From what Ive read of the first couple of days, you were just finding a good preperation method, perhaps the first couple of days can be discounted as the preperation/ingestion technique was not right (as you say about one time the mixture just tasted like water, could be it was not mixed correctly, or you did not get a high enough dose) Perhaps thats why you are not feeling any effects yet. |

Dreams from Last Night's Slumber: Slept from 11pm-8am, I should probably try a more stable and consistent sleeping schedule. I remembered about 4 dreams with what I feel is pretty good dream recall compared to my usual recall. I can't say the whole amount of the dreams were vivid but there were moments I could've sworn I was awake. In one such case I felt rain pouring down and I hid under a tree but still felt little drops falling on me and it was very serene and the visuals seemed to have a very pretty glow to them. I'm noticing celebrities, cartoon characters, and just... weird movie/tv like references showing up, and I honestly rarely even watch tv and almost never dream about this stuff. There were some more 3rd person action but I felt much more involved this time and in most cases I actually appeared in my body and interacted. |

Dreams from Last Night's Slumber: No noticeable effect on dream recall little to no difference on vividness. I'm almost positive the effects have been placebo the past few days. I'm just as capable to have these kinds of dreams without the root. |

dont change your dose too much, and if you do try in very small changes. You will find your body will not respond well to alternations all time time and may reduce the effectiveness. Still i agree you may have a dodge batch, im going to buy some over the weekend and will link to your journal . |
|
Just ordered some to try it out. Ive tried calea z in the past, and the results were debatable. Never had any more vivid dreams that couldnt just be explained away as placebo. |
|
@Timeless08: yeah i've tried being consistent with the powdering but that took too long to prepare, i'm being consistent with chewing until my batch runs out. also looking forward to your results, would be nice to see other people's experiences in comparison. |

I just ordered some from a different vendor. Once it arrives, I'll keep you posted how things go. I'm considering putting it in my industrial juicer, as it grinds almost anything into a fine powder. |
|
sounds great anderj, would be nice to see your results as well. good luck to all of you guys, i hope your experiments prove successful :E |
|
Ah, wish I had one. I used to work in a juice bar and we used to have a Nutrifaster and it was like throwing fruit into a jet engine, that thing terrified me. |
|
I might try this. |

You can chew and swallow yeah, but most people spit it out after they've felt they've chewed long enough and the root looses its taste. |
