Calea Zacatechichi AKA Dream Herb

Been wanting to experiment with the plant commonly known as Dream Herb for a while now. It’s been said to enhance lucid dreaming. Finally got my hands on some and thinking of trying an extremely small dose of it to test my reaction tonight. Anyone have experience with this plant or have any recommendations about how to go about using it? Figure I’m gonna take it in capsules since the tea is supposed to be absolutely disgusting. Also may try smoking it eventually.

In my experience it didn't work for me. Just consumed the said amount of tea and nothing happened, several times. Not even vivid dreams. This doesn't mean it won't work for you, try it, you might get strong effects. You are right the tea is absolutely horrible. Never in my life did i taste anything that's so bitter.

>>7464 havent tried it, but good luck

>>7465 What dosage did you do? Also did you use it with cannabis or something else that has the reverse property (it makes you dream LESS)? Ive been using weed edibles daily and have wondered if thats going to make it less effective. Also something of interest, I read on erowid that occasionally people have some nasty allergic reaction to Calea, and it was recommended that a new user first test to see if they get anything of that nature by doing a very small amount first (the report in question actually said to chew the leaves when doing this). Im thinking what im gonna do is first try a tiny dose, probably 100-200mg (a full dose in capsules was said by this same person to be a gram). Might try it tonight, if not definitely tomorrow or the next day. But its definitely time, been meaning to try it since I was a kid to be honest.

Gonna do 100mg test dose tonight. Will report back.

>>7471 Olde Pee here. Well no allergic reaction from the 100mg, not sure if it really effected my dreaming at all though. Going to do more tests of this soon and will report back.

>>7473 Since I did it on a bit of a full stomach last time I am gonna repeat the same allergy test dose of 100mg but with an empty stomach tonight. If all goes well will be trying regular doses in the near future.

>>7497 Decided to do 200mg on a half full stomach instead. Happy New Years fellow herb anons.

>>7501 Did not notice anything from the 200mg. Will experiment with it again soon at 300mg.

>>7502 Did 300mg last night, did not notice anything. 400mg trial coming up sometime soon. Anyone else experimenting?

I have some of this stuff, haven't tried it yet but I'm interested to. I've heard that you can make a crude extract using isopropanol, so I'm going to look a bit more into that when I have more time on my hands.

>>7522 Yea ive heard you can just soak it in iso or in liquor or whatever and then just shake it up for a while filter and evap like a lot of plants. That should be an interesting experiment.

Just dosed 400mg for tonight. Love to hear any other experiences. Will report back.

This seems placebo, if anything

I heard galantamine is more consistent in producing lucid dreams. You can get it over the counter even though it is same drug used for people with alzheimers, i assume the dose is much smaller.

>>7534 Its not. Last night it finally worked with a 500mg dose for me. Gonna be trying a 670mg dose tonight.

It worked for me. I experienced two lucid dreams on two separate days, for the first time in my life. It as rad. What I found is that you gotta have a strong intention to become conscious in your dream before going to bed. Also I took it in the middle of the night after 4 hours or so of sleep, so it's close to your REM cycle of sleep.

>>7563 Awesome. Planning to experiment with it more in larger doses of 1g and up soon. So far it only seems to have worked once for me. I think the fact weed makes me not dream so much is offsetting the effect probably.

Did 1g in capsules last night with some weed olive oil. No effect. Will be trying around 1.5g next time.
