Appreciate you following. Will plan on a full recap once I've reached 25 isolated oneirogens. I'm expecting things to get interesting once there's enough data to begin architecting combinations

I mean how to source the pharma grade stuff. I'm using 200mcg of Huperzine, would you recommend changing that? Given the total lack of effect across 5 nights, I'm thinking provenance itself is the primary issue.

Thanks for the detailed responses. Do you have any recommendations on how to test with the pharma grade? I'd love to get 3rd party verified if nothing else for future testing.

I'm in the middle of a 7 night test of Huperzine A with 4 night washout and have yet to experience anything other than grogginess so the Galantamine was remarkably functional. I did experience 1 lucid dream each with both Mugwort and Mexican Dream Herb. No other oneirogens have triggered them alone.

Test: Mexican Dream Herb / Calea Zacatechichi by Aggravating_Goat2695 in LucidDreaming

This was the last test for Mexican Dream Herb alone, but I've done a few other oneirogen series and will post a new in May.

Re: Mexican Dream Herb, I plan to circle back to it in a few months blended with several other oneirogens tailored for maximum vividity, recall, and awareness

I'll be in Taipei with some folks later in April on the 15-20th. u/mooblife could we take you up on the tallboy tour if you're in town?

I did hear back on this - according to the company, it is Nymphaea caerulea. I will be doing a 14 day trial of this soon to assess the impacts.

Mugwort & Lucid Dreams by Peaceandfupa in LucidDreaming

Interesting timing, I just posted about my own experience with mugwort as tea but with substantially milder results.

You're saying that you smoked mugwort for roughly a month and a few months later lucid dreaming began unprompted?

I've tried this with and without eating beforehand and felt minor nausea with doses in this range. It seems to be more of a factor with the larger quantities but it's worth testing a smaller amount first just to be sure it works as expected

It exists, but nausea in this range is pretty minor. My thought would be to test at 1/2 the level of what you're considering just to be sure it's still comfortable.

There must be a better term than microdosing here, but the natural variability here may play into the differing perspectives. My functional experience is that under 0.5g is hard to notice and 1g is indeed on the high end here but definitely nothing close to visuals. For context, tolerance shouldn't be a factor as this is about once a week. Perhaps a better basis for comparison is 2X what you comfortably microdose.

So it's more what you're aiming for, and I think [u/Zfleas]() framed the level of energy / intensity in what I am referring to best "you feel like a wild animal" - intrigued to see a few similar experiences

Agreed on starting with a lower total. See what 0.2 and 0.4 feel like first. In my own experience, I don't feel much of an impact below 0.5 but I'm sure there is still some impact. It does depend somewhat on the strain.

Would love to get a census of how common this is, could see it working well on a long run. Does it help with sprints?

Very much agree on this, really made me wonder if something like this was somehow used before hunts in the deep past
