I am still dreaming

dreams of traveling

I am still dreaming and it is one thing in life that we can say is really free. In the midst of life's journey people can still find hope and motivation from their dreams without having to pay anything for it.

As for me, I dream about my dream house, traveling to foreign lands and everything else that I am concerned about in my day. I dream of what is happening around me, what I want for myself in the future and how to overcome obstacles and/or motivate myself to make these dreams a reality.

Dreams do not have to be realistic and I believe you can still dream anything you want to even if you feel it is unattainable, because in life if people didn't have those kinds of dreams nothing would ever have been invented. Dreams are important for they can be motivators for our own goals. Without dreams, people are without a hope for the future. That is why I believe that people should be still dreaming of things that they really want for themselves, no matter what that is.

In spite of events that happened last year, from the financial crises that has struck almost every household in some way, and the environmental problems that continue, to the general hassle of living an everyday life I am still dreaming good things into my life. You see, when I dream it makes me feel more alive, for in dreaming I have reason to live, I am optomistic about my life, I have a goal to accomplish and a world to explore.

Is using a Dream Herb of any value?

I went looking for a dream herb, one that would enhance my dream experience, and what I found were herbs that promised vivid dreams.

These are the ones I thought worth looking into:

Dream Herb or Calea Zacatechichi seemed to show the most promise. This herb has hallucinogenic properties and results have shown that it enhances the number and recollection of dreams. It is one that is crushed and dried and smoked and/or taken as a tea. The taste is bitter so many prefer to smoke it. It is a legal substance in the US except for Louisiana.

Other herbs that can be used are African Dream Herb also known as Silene Capensis which as the name implies comes from Africa. The root is used to induce vivid and sometimes prophetic dreams and is used by Shamons in their initiation process. African Dream Herb is like Dream Herb in that it produces similar changes in consciousness.

Another hallucinogenic herb from Africa is Iboga or Tabernanthe iboga which grows in the rainforest. In its original state the bark of the root is chewed and has a bitter taste and gives an anesthetic affect on the mouth. When taken in large doses it can visions. In the United States Iboga is classified by the Controlled Substances Act.

Mugwort or Artemisia Vulgaris is another herb that was used historically in herbal medicine and was often smoked. It is not used these days because of toxicity worries and once the herb is cooked the plant loses its hallucinogenic affect. Also it was believed that placing the herb inside the cover of a pillow and sleeping on the pillow can induce vivid dreams.

The other herb worth mentioning is Diviner's Sage, also known as just Salvia which is a psychoactive herb which can induce strong dissociative effects. These effects are only short lived but the good after affects include insight and calmness and elevation of mood . Salvia is currently legal in most states of the US.
