Night 8:
  • Dosage: 0 mg
  • Sleep: Somewhat better than baseline
  • Dreaming: Some dreams. Distinctly not vivid. Don't recall anything about colouring.
  • Unusual: Nothing
  • Remarks:Nothing.

In conclusion to this week-long project I find that the 100:1 dry extract of Entada Rheedii, which I had obtained, did more to improve my sleep than my dreams. Interestingly, the best sleep happened on medium dosages of the extract. My dreams, by contrast, were not really enhanced as I had originally expected (and hoped). Instead they were deprived of their natural colours, and they tended to be unusually down-to-earth, much unlike my normal dreams which mostly take place in very strange worlds. Vividness was increased, however, but not by a lot.

My feeling is that the extract was made not just from the white substance inside the been seeds, but also from the seeds' hard shell. I suspect this made the extract cheaper - and less powerful.

Given these results, I will probably wait a considerable amount of time before trying Entada Rheedii again. There are too many other interesting things to try first.
