Hi man, you could try calea zacatechichi for enhanced dreams. I never had any results with it, but a lot of people say it works very well. Just beware- its the most disgusting tasting thing on this earth, im dead serious.

Now, what i did have good results with is datura. Nobody take my advice, as this plant is dangerous. Im simply sharing my experience. I harvested datura pods in the wild, and what i used to do is chew 2-4 ripe (black/brown), dry seeds before going to bed. It made my dreams more vivid (and very strange) and i even woke up refreshed, unlike after calea.

Thanks for the replies.
I would be cautious about Datura. I was in the Amazon last year (did not get to try Ayahuasca) but have heard Datura can be difficult especially if the dose is too much.

I am growing Henbane, and hope to make a beer from one of the old medieval recepies

Hi

Its great to be here at last. I have been a long time visiter for over 10yrs.

I am particularly interested in plants to help astral traveling as I am a very vivid dreamer and have "flying dreams" at least 2/3 times a week, but I know they are more than dreams as I have the real sensation of moving and also when I have these dreams I wake up totally refreshed even if I have only had 6 hrs sleep.

I know certain plants help this and I have just recently got hold of plants of Mugwort…

Interesting discussion here about datura, does any one have papers on toxicity se we could assess if this thing being microdosed would have toxic effects chronically?

7.11. Toxicity studies
Toxicity studies of ethanol extract of the leaves of D. stromonium in rats. Two doses of 50 and 200 mg/kg of the extract were administered to the rats for five weeks. Parameters studied were the indices of liver and kidney function and some biochemical and haematological parameters. Feed intake, final body weight, serum AST, ALT, billurubin, total protein, urea and the electrolyte studied were not affected by the extract administration. Serum creatinine levels were however significantly raised in the rats administered with ethanol extract at the dose of 200 mg/kg body weight. The biochemical and haematological parameters were also affected[30]. The effects of acute, subacute and chronic administration of alkaloids atropine and scopolamine, the main constituents of the active principle of D. stromonium, with toxic properties, were studied in male Albino Wistar rats. After acute i.p. administration of dose 100 mg/kg of total alkaloids to the seeds of D. stramonium, there were no remarkable changes in general appearance and no deaths occurred in any experimental group. Twenty four hour after total alkaloids of seeds, a significant reduction in indices of liver, spleen brain and kidney function and some biochemical and haematological parameters were observed. The red blood cells, hematocrit, hemoglobin and white blood cells were significantly higher in the treated groups than the control group. Subacute study for four weeks showed no resulting mortality or signs of toxicity. In chronic study, the synthetic alkaloids administered i.p. at daily doses of 4.2 mg/kg of atropine and 1.6 mg/kg of scopolamine, did not produce death. However diarrhoea and hypoactivity were observed. The relative weight of liver was significantly less than that of the control group[31].

In Ayurvedic medicine, D. stramonium is described as a useful remedy for various human ailments including ulcers, wounds, inflammation, rheumatism and gout, sciatica, bruises and swellings, fever, asthma, bronchitis and toothache. Many folk medicine remedies use D. stramonium therapeutically [22]. The juice of the leaves in warm milk was used to expel intestinal worms including cestodes, seeds with palm oil used externally for insect bites and stings insects. When the leaves of Datura stramonium mixed with mustard oil then it is useful in skin disorders. Juice of flower petals is used in ear pain and seeds are used as purgative, in cough, fever and asthma. Seeds are smoked due to its narcotic action [23-24]. In Western Nepal, leaves of Datura along with the leaves of Cannabis sativa and stem of Neopicrorhizascrofulariflora, are pounded with water and applied to treat headaches. Datura seeds are crushed with grains of rice and taken orally to relief in indigestion. In parts of Central Nepal fresh leaves are warmed and placed on a sprained body part repeatedly, before going to bed, for the alleged analgesic effect. In India, seeds are used as a tonic and febrifuge. The leaves are roasted and applied locally to relieve pain [25]. Native Americans used Datura seeds for many years as a euphoric agent. Since the 1800s, it was used as a therapeutic agent in Great Britain [26].

Hello and welcome to the Nexus Happy to have you.

While I don't work with dreams, I do find that certain strains of cannabis (which may very well be unavailable to you given Ireland's stance on such matters).

Blue lotus at a high enough dose seems to augment my dreams as well.

Do you partake in psychedelics at all? If so, which ones?

What are you currently working on specifically in your dream work?

One love

Hahahaha I meant cannabis, as in marijuana, but since we're talking mushrooms (cubensis) now, what did you think when you tried them?

One love
