Ok, I have finally received my quarter pound of Calea Zacatechichi!

I have been wanting to delve into the dream world for some time now, though I am usually unable to do so (except for the odd occasion)

What I want is a lucid dream... I can't even remember the last time I had a lucid dream! All I know is, I was too young to take it for what it was, and it scared the shit out of me!

I am ready now to try and live out my dreams, IN MY DREAMS!!!

I want to go to concerts that I can never see, Elliott Smith, The Smiths...

I want to fly...

I want to make LOVE!

I want to live out every possible beautiful moment I can through my dreams.

I want to travel, and live every moment like it is my last!

Also, I can't go to Peru right now, and I sure as shit can't run up the side of a sky scraper!

What I am getting at is, I CAN do these things if I am able to get into lucid states with the aid of this herb!

Honestly, what drew me to this herb, is that I am in a hole of a town, dark, gross and is seemingly a trap for underage mothers and crack addicts, and it is as if there are walls built around the town limits, no escape!... the usual story, ya know how it is.

I have B12 Vitamin, melatonin and also my writhing need to have lucid dreams... which in combination with the calea, will hopefully make for some very interesting sleep cycles...

If anyone has any suggestions on how to obtain lucidity through plants, chemicals or otherwise, please tell me about it!

I am now preparing 2g of Calea Z. Leaf to be smoked in a pipe.

It is 9:20AM now, and I will most likely be going to sleep at 12PM

I will smoke at 11:00AM... alone, in my bed, and will then place several leaves inside my pillow case while sipping on a hot chocolate with lots of milk.

Wish me luck BLTC... I really want this!!!

Good luck! I don't know what you're asking but I'm really interested in how it turns out. Give an update in the morning if you can, I'd really appreciate it.

I am mostly asking for advice on inducing lucid dreams through the use of plants/chemicals... any and all is welcome.

Also, I decided to spend some time with a friend before I smoked the Calea.

I am now going to bed and it is 1:10PM I will smoke the Calea, then read some of 'junky' until I feel sleepy.

I will come back once I wake up with my experience.

You realize this isn't a one time thing... it's with continual use - over time, that one begins to realize it having an affect on their dream recall and the lucidity of their dreams.

So if it doesn't work your first time, which is not unusual and instead is what is likely to happen - don't get discouraged.

Also if you smoke marijuana you may want to put that aside for a little bit since it can interfere with your progress/results.

.peace.

Lucid dreaming is just one of those things that you just have to do. If it's chemical induced expect the dreams to be tainted by the chemical whether it gives you more control over the dream or otherwise. Note that some chemicals will force you into a mood that will not make the dream enjoyable. Lucid dreams are not always fun, sometimes they are the scariest fucking things you'll ever experience because you don't realize you have some sort of control. Just beware that dreams don't always end when you wake up especially if it is lucid. I've had my fair share and I've been haunted by a few that I have border line control over. Needless to say, I have difficulties sleeping and staying asleep.

Good points death snuggle. I recommend experiencing lucid dreaming without the aid of plants of other drugs. You can achieve it without these things and the end result will be much more satisfying and enjoyable. Also, look into meditation, which can also be extremely useful.

Why would you waste money just to have crazy dreams? You could of bought some acid or some real drugs that get you high in real life. Dreams can give you fake mystical feelings when you wake up, its nice and all but its just your brain and its crazy chemicals. I understand trying to get a better sleep but I would never work that hard just to have fucking dreams. Go out and wake up, live your life not a dream.

(Ignorant?)!!!

By the way, I was actually not aware that you had to use it several times.

I did not dream last afternoon, I had no dream that was at all memorable.

Today I believe I will take 4g in capsules.

Also, I have tried for over 2 years to become lucid, I just can't do it!

I faced the head of my bed north for fuck sake, just because I read in a book about lucid dreaming that this is affective... I stare at my 'third eye' until I fall asleep, telling myself the whole time that I want a lucid dream. I CAN'T make it happen without herbs/chems... at least for now, hopefully with the aids of things like calea and melatonin, I will find a way to force lucidity upon myself without the calea.
