lucid dreams part 2



For those who are into lucid dreams: here are some plants which can help you...read NOT dope or DMT....

there is a herb in dear old Me - he - co(Mexico) which the tribes use to achieve the most beautiful lucid dreams possible..or so they say!

Calea zacatechichi...so the dream herb, as it is called is used by the tribes to lucid dream. these are the plants which have effect only when you are asleep.

There are several other plants used in Indian communities of Mexico to obtain divinatory messages from dreams. Several puffball mushrooms (Lycoperdon spp.) wrongly reported as hallucinogens are eaten fresh by Mixtec Indians before going to bed in order to dream. Nahuatl Indians use an as yet unidentified species of Salvia, known by the name of Xiouit, for the same purpose. The Tarahumara Indians use a plant called "Bacana", which has been reported to be used as a divinatory agent, was later confirmed as an herb to help induce dreaming.

there are some plants in Africa as well, which are used by shamans in their rituals to induce a dream state.

So the thought process here : All the hocus pocus that you thought was usually associated with the rituals in Voodoo and other shaman religions have a base...And its interesting that normal people like us also experience this - of course without any plant induced haze...Though, I would love to try it out...No turning back on experiencing new things, right!!!??
