I forget the name but its some native american herb. I tried some last night. Your supposed to make a tea and then smoke it? Couldn't remember my dreams. Which is rare for me.
There's several drugs that do that. Personally, its more rewarding to work hard and get natural LDs.
hey um, i vaguely remember a native american type herb beeing a lucid aid
i cant remember the name either
i doubt this is it but mayeb chamomile? i know theres chamomile tea adn that its supposed to help dreams and recall but idk
if i were you, id look aroudn the forums for a guy named SKA
he seems to be pretty knowledgeful when it comes to drugs and herbs
he actually started a thread about it somwhere
post your results if you try again
Is it Calea Zacatechici?
If you do a search, there are a few threads on it, around here.

Thanks guys. Its not chamomile but I'll check the other one. Just to be straight, I'm TOTALLY anti-drug. This stuff doesn't make you high or really have a noticable difference. I just get a little calmer with it and try to meditate to sleep which is probably a huge part in itself. Anyway, for now I like it, (maybe helps me from not smoking cigs!) but yes, I agree, it will be better when I have total control.

Anyway, it was that calea stuff. I was talking about it in another post. In my mind there are like, pros and cons. I know its legal which is the only way i'd have it (personally) and i like that it calms me, but I also am trying to not smoke anything (meaning I used to smoke cigs and its better than that but still smoke and the habit) and it does NOT help my clarity or dream recall at all! Such a bummer! Its supposed too! Anyway, I guess working for Red Bull has its downs when it comes to sleeping time, hu!? ;) :shock: lol.
I recently bought some from a "potion shop" I suppose you could call it and I know it can also be called Dream Smoke. That is what it's called at the place I got it atleast. I haven't tried it yet but i'll let you know the results.
You mean crack? Cough syrup does that too. Lawl.
I read the word herb and so this Topic got my attention :PQuote:

Now you may see that it is difficult to put a good/bad moral stamp on the general term ''Drugs'', but I DO consider Calea Zacatechichi and such dreamherbs as drugs too. Subtle psychoactive drugs, but defenitely drugs. It's just a word with alot of negativity attatched to it. I must say I do some drugs, mainly Psychedelic Ecodrugs; Like Mushrooms, Mescalin Cactus, Salvia & Marijuana, while on the other hand I stay away from more Toxic/Addictive drugs like Cocaine, Heroin, Alcohol and the Like. There is a clear difference to be made.
But these DreamHerbs are in my opinion just as well drugs. A good, nonharmfull, subtile drugs, which's effects are profound when asleep and dreaming only.
I tried Calea too (10X extract) but it didn't seem to make a difference at all for my nights of dreaming. Bummer indeed.
But a little over a month ago I ordered this other Dream Enhancing herb: African Dream Root, A.K.A. Silene Capensis. I didn't know what expecct after having tried and seen Calea fail.
To my surprise I have had one full week worth of remarkably vivid, sensemaking, Clear, bright and well remembered dreams from only mixing half a Teaspoon of Powdered DreamRoot to my Cup of tea. In fact I must admit even that I haven't had such Intense and Wonderfull dreams since my Childhood. On the 6th night after the Cup of DreamRoot Tea I had a Lucid Dream. The effects of this herb seem to take about 3 to 4 days to reach full effect and then leave you with about the rest of the week's dreams to be pretty emotionally intense, Visually detailed,symbolical, logical and storyline-ish/narrative.
You're supposed to Drink this Tea early in the morning when your stomach is empty. Afterwards you can eat if you're hungry.
So if you, like me, were disappointed in Calea Zacatechichi, but still interrested in a DreamEnhancing herbs: I would like to Recommend you to try Silene Capensis; African DreamRoot, as it worked miracles for my Dreams and their Clarity.
Mmm, me too. Actually, thanks for reminding me of this, I need to get some more. I haven't noticed the increased dream activity YET, but the calming properties are lovely. If you can get used to the tea's bitterness, that is.Quote:

Melatonin (Melatonin is the scientific term?) - Mostly used to reduces things like jet-lag i think, it a chemical naturally produced by some gland in the human body. It regulates sleep, et cetera.
I haven't tried any of these so, yeah. I may also have remembered incorrectly what they actually do, lol.
Maybe try erowid.com probably find something there. :)
Ohwell, good luck and have fun!
SKA, where do you get this african dream herb? I would consider trying some, but does it have any effect on you during the day? I don't want any LD herbs screwing me up in school and stuff.
Hmm never heard of it, i never tired anything for this
Do i smell a DXM fan around here? :eek:Quote:
