That's something I'm gonna try Eri..I also have a love hate relationship with coffee.

Ah man, I don't think I'm ever going to be free of it. I mean, I don't think I'll ever drink it again, but I still crave it mentally now. Freshly made filter coffee... damn. I had one of those re-usable one cup filters (mainland European thing I think...) and it made coffee as good as any machine.

... And this is why I don't experiment with stimulants, give me a nice non addictive tryptamine instead any day

My analgesia makes me dream like mad, weed or not
But I might try this tea as well, could be entertaining

Can concur fully on that Arnie, Also i've noticed with dihydrocodeinone and dihydrocodeinone + smoke i have these sort of half dreams but im not sure how to explain them.

I feel rested after them so i've deffo been asleep, but during them its very lucid but i can still feel the pillow/matress/sheets ect does that sound crazy?


Will give the tea a try .


Peace and good karma to all

Dream-o-nauts should also check out a plant called Calea Zacatechichi - the dried herb and tinctures are available from ethnobotanical suppliers,as well as live plants.I don't know if it's still there,but there used to be an ethnobotanical shop on Glastonbury High St called 'Hunab Ku' that made their own potent Calea tincture.

Anyhow,more info on this plant is available on the web,but here's what wiki's got to say...

Quote

Calea zacatechichi, also known as Dream Herb, Cheech, and Bitter Grass, is a plant used by the indigenous Chontal of the Mexican state of Oaxaca for oneiromancy (a form of divination based on dreams.) The plant naturally occurs from southern Mexico to northern Costa Rica. It has been scientifically demonstrated that extracts of this plant increase reaction times and the frequency and/or recollection of dreams[1] versus placebo and diazepam. It is also employed by the Chontal people as a medicinal herb against gastrointestinal disorders, and is used as an appetizer, cathartic anti-dysentery remedy, and as a fever-reducing agent.

The correct Latin name is Calea ternifolia Kunth, with Calea zacatechichi Schltdl. being a synonym (Wussow et al. 1985). The name zacatechichi retains usage as a local or common name.

Use

The Chontal medicine men, who assert that this plant is capable of "clarifying the senses" causing euphoria, call it thle-pela-kano, meaning "leaf of God". Whenever they desire to know the cause of an illness or the location of a distant or lost person, the common ritual is to smoke a cigarette, whilst drinking a tea, both made of Calea Zacatechichi, right before going to sleep. Some also report placing the leaf of God under their pillow before sleeping. Reportedly, the answer to the question comes in a dream.[2]

Preparation and dosage

Crushed dried leaves are steeped in hot water, and the resulting tea is drunk slowly, after which the user lies down in a quiet place and smokes a cigarette of the dried leaves of the same plant. The human dose for divinatory purposes reported by the Chontal people is a handful of dried plant, but effects can be felt with as little as two to three grams of dried leaf matter. The user knows that he or she has taken a large enough dose when a sense of tranquility and drowsiness is experienced and when he or she hears the beats of his or her own heart and pulse. Calea is an extremely bitter herb and is known to induce strong nausea when drunk. Many users prefer to smoke it rather than drinking the tea. Alternatively alcoholic tinctures and placing the leaf matter in algae capsules can be as effective as tea while being much less bitter and much more palatable. There are no reports of hangover or other undesirable side effects. Many report an extremely mild cannabis like state of relaxation from smoking calea leaf or taking calea tincture.

Cultivation

Generally Calea is a southern plant. Growing Calea from fresh seed is easy; also cloning this plant is extremely simple. The most common way to grow it is propagation from cuttings or layers, the latter of which is very easy in late summer. The Calea plant likes full sun, well drained soils, and medium irrigation. Anecdotal evidence suggests the flowering or post flowering plant harvested in the dry or cold season yields the best herbal product. A good soil mix for calea cultivation is: 1/3 of a rich substrate, 1/3 vermiculite and 1/3 of humus, or a light garden soil.

Propagation from seeds can be tried with the following method: Sow the seeds in a pot with the soil mix indicated as above. Don't cover the seeds, moisten the seeds with water and cover with a plastic bag. This little greenhouse needs from 4 to 6 hours of light to germinate. If the seeds dry out during this period, the plants will not germinate

I've been having proper, full blown, adventure dreams of all kinds since I've been drinking this stuff, it's been great. I've been remembering them and they've mostly been semi-lucid too!! Great stuff.

That's why I started drinking this very brand. It does work and I have some in the cupboard... hmmmmm... nice one eri, I'll be having a brew of this later methinks

Glad to hear it man, makes my day every time someone else reports back positive results

I'm still drinking the stuff, and it doesn't seem to ever stop working. I had MAD dreams last night , love it.

I hope you got the tinned version, it tastes so much better than the bags

[FAI]

I've just ordered a box of this and can't wait to give it a try.
Thanks for posting up eri

[Arnold Layne]

Damn, I forgot all about this!

I'm overdosing the coffee these days and really need to stop. Maybe this stuff will enable me to get on top of my habit? May add some high doses of good Ginseng into the mix.

It worked for me and a few good friends Arnie, I'm sure it can get you off it too

Get the tinned stuff!!! It's way nicer than bags. You just need a tea ball or a teapot with a filter thingy (or just let it settle I guess)... I'm sure you've got a way of making fresh tea at home anyway man, I'd be very surprised if you didn't
