Into your Lucid Dreams
 "Lucid in the sky with diamonds"Lucid Dreams happen when the dreamer realizes she/he is dreaming, opening the doors to the oniric world. When this happens, the person can live and consciously experience a non-material world in which only her/his imagination is the limit. As in normal dreaming, a lucid dream looks, smells and feels real: for the brain it doesn't matter if an experience is real or imaginary, the same brain-zones are activated, so becoming lucid becomes a great opportunity to live impossible experiences and re-live old memories. There are several products that aid the interested person to become lucid in dreams, going from Binaural Brainwave mp3s (sounds simulating actual brainwaves) to special eye covers that signal the user when she/he is dreaming, hence increasing the probability of becoming lucid. By far, Brainwave Technology is the most effective way of becoming lucid within just a FEW DAYS, see it for yourself, check this out. 
For some people Salvia Divinorum helps them become lucid, for others, the Salvia Divinorum effects make them feel they are on a lucid dreaming state of mind (while awake). What I like to do is to get ready for bed and load my pipe with a little 10x extract, lay down and let all the thoughts of the day drift away, expelling the smoke as slowly as I can. Then I let Salvia Divinorum work her wonders on me as my body shuts down to sleep. 
I find that if I concentrate (and if I don't have a breakthrough realization or insight that excites me and makes it impossible to go to sleep) I'll start having the most bizarre, beautiful, vivid "dreams" somewhere between sleep and awake.
I don't really feel asleep, I'm still conscious that I'm lying in my bed, but I guess my brainwaves reach a dream-like frequency because the visions/dreams I experience are as "real-feeling" as any vivid dream. As Sadi's effects only last for a short period of time, I haven't been able to use Salvia as a Lucid-Dreaming-aid (the period of sleep when its most probable to become lucid are the last hours of sleep, after sleeping about 7 or 8 hours) 
Update: Recently I found a website that sells a special product: the Salvia Dragon 10x... The interesting thing is that this guys came up with a special blend of Salvia Divinorum extract and Calea Zacatechichi aka the Dream Herb, used to induce vivid/lucid dreams.) Click here for more information about the product. The results are simply amazing... The first night I tried this mixture, I wasn't expecting any different effects than my usual 10x extract pre-dreaming visions, and at first my experience felt as usual: I was slowly drifting away into the sceneries of my mind, focusing on keeping conscious and alert, trying not to be sidetracked by early assumptions and opinions of the product, when out of the blue I felt something quite interesting: a light filled everything and I felt how it carried me through the great invisible barrier that separates the material and the oniric world... I suddenly realized that I was immersed in the dream world, and my consciousness and analytic mind were still with me, I felt completely awake and alert... Sadly, I forgot my dream! I remember being so excited and eager to wake up and write the experience down, but as my alarm clock woke me up in a hurry, my mind raced through the thoughts of the day later to find out that I had forgotten all the juicy details of my lucidity! Since then, I've became lucid several times when smoking the Salvia Dragon 10x, at the least, the visionary qualities of my Salvia trip before drifting to sleep are deliciously enhanced. Another plant that is said to have these amazing "Dream Powers" is the mysterious Coleus plant.
 Coleus: The sneaky dream plant
Coleus is a beautiful plant grown for its brilliant foliage and is found in a wide variety of colors, from combinations including intense pink, red, green and black, to yellow, purple, blue and violet. For the the Mazatecs of Oaxaca, Coleus is closely related to Salvia Divinorum and it is supposed to have psychoactive properties, though no active chemical has been found in Coleus. For more information on Coleus click here.By ingesting several leaves of Coleus and smoking Salvia before going to sleep, you increase your probabilities of having a lucid dream (if you have a real desire to have one) or at the least, you'll experience a whole different level of dreaming, more vivid, more intense... more realSo if you are really interested in becoming lucid, check out Dream Views, it's a website dedicated to lucid dreaming and it's packed with free instructions and explanations and get the Lucid-Dreaming-Binaural Clip to make the process faster and easier. |
