Dream Inducing Herbs

Hey, guys! :peek: Today i found out about a “new” LD inducing herb - Red Spider Lily.

I tried to find information about usage, consumption etc. via google, but got only the botanical information. Does anybody know anything about it? :help: :wink:

I was very disappointed in calea zacatechichi. My boyfriend got me a decent sized bag of the dried plant and a bottle of capsules. The capsules did absolutely nothing no matter how much I took, and smoking a cigarette of the herb was only slightly effective. The tea tasted so bad as to define description, and did nothing.

I’ve had some very good results with melatonin supplements, but taking it more often than once a week or so seems to build up a tolerance for me. Additionally, I dislike the groggy feeling I always get the next morning no matter how much I sleep in.

My current “LD cocktail” is a cup of tea infused with fresh catnip leaves, and a valerian supplement, about 30 minutes before bedtime.

Well, I haven’t had a single lucid dream since my last post above and it has been weeks! I even increased my dosage to 3 capsules before bedtime and still never got any closer than a few false awakenings that tricked me.

But I’m not totallly ready to give up on Damiana yet. There are two different types of Damiana: - Turnera diffusa and Turnera aphrodisiaca. I have been taking - Turnera diffusa capsules for about a month and I am wondering if I tried the Aphrodisiaca instead, it may have a better result. I believe that is the specific type that Erowid has reported increased lucidity.

Oh, well. Just wanted to update this thread in case anyone was curious as to how my experiment was going.

ENTADA RHEEDII, is commonly used in Africa to induce vivid dreams and enable communication with the spirit world.

Entada’s effect of increasing REM awareness, helps sleeper to realize that they are dreaming, and thus gives them an edge in achieving lucidity.

How has mugwort not been mentioned yet in this thread?! Loooove mugwort! I feel like it is THE number 1 dream herb. Definitely improves my dream recall, if not my lucid dreams as well. And considering I am quite dense when it comes to the effects of herbal supplements, I am sure it would be even more effective for most people. Actually from all the reviews on the herb, I would say that it is indeed incredible for lucid dreaming. I drink it in a tea before bed and/or burn some mugwort smudge as I get ready for bed.

I have also read that Jasmine extract is tied to lucid dreaming, and have been putting a drop on my pillow every night, but I’ve yet to notice a difference. But hey, it smells so beautiful, it’s kinda worth it regardless.

I am growing Calea zacetechichi (aka the Dream Herb!!!) from seed as we speak, and I’m looking forward to using it in tea! I’ll keep ya posted.

And finally, there are some pretty potent supplements out there. Claridream Pro is one I’ve just started taking, and although it didn’t have much effect for me (like I said, dense…), the reviews speak for themselves.

I was wondering if any of you have tried Dream Leaf for lucid dreaming? Dream Leaf is a LD supplement that promotes lucid dreaming, dream recall, and balanced sleep. It has a cocktail of herbs in it and forces the user to perform a WBTB every night when using it. I just ordered some and will be posting my results on this topic, but it would be nice to hear what you guys think of Dream leaf.

Cool! I’ve seen it online but I haven’t tried it. Let us know how it works!!

I’ve been taking Dream Leaf for 4 days now and I’ve noticed a huge difference! First off I have consistently performed WBTB without a supplement before and I know how it affects my dreams and dream recall. Usually, I will get up to 3 dreams a night with most of my dreams being medium in length, some short dreams, and the occasional long dream. I’ve been averaging about 2 LD a month.

In the 4 days I’ve taken dream leaf I’ve had 2 LD’s, and I’m remembering 3-4 dreams a night. My dreams have been more story based and I usually have long dreams with completed storylines and some medium length dreams. The dreams have been more vivid and it’s been so much fun sleeping that I’ve been sleeping 10 hours a day… So far I am extremely happy with the effects.

I’ll put up another report on the progress after another week of use. I need to start dream journal but there has just been an overload of information.

Note: I’ve also started up meditation for lucid dreaming at the same time of starting dream leaf… So take that as you may.

Very cool! Sounds like a really good herb to try. And I have also noticed that meditation has significantly improved my dream recall and lucid dreaming.
As with many herbal supplements, I expect your improvements to lucid dreaming will only continue as you continue to take this herb on a regular basis
