This Topic is for those of us who have some knowledge of herbs, medicine and psycho-active substances.
Especially about their effects. Stimulants(uppers), Psychedelics(trippers), Depressants(downers) and Euphoriants ( there's more but these are the main 4 )

Now here's the Idea:
By the knowledge of what mental/physical effects each herb, plant or substance has what Psycho-Active effects of substances, plants, drugs or herbs you know brings a state of Mind suitable for Lucidity?

The Lucidity State of mind is:
Aware/awake and Concious yet still Dreaming and asleep
Clear yet Dreamy at the same time.
Meditative calm peace of Mind
Contentness

Okay now let's see if we can make a good combination of herbs and substances in a Gelatin capsule, in the right scales and doses, and make you reach somewhat the same effects of Lucidity in dreams as mentioned above. This would be a good State of Mind to take into sleep with you, or in a WBTB fashion.

Now a short List of Psycho-actives I know might help re-create Lucidity:

NOTE: It's said that very small doses of Magic mushrooms, or other psychedelic trytamines, can, while having hardly any effect on you while awake, greatly potentiate your dreams.



I was thinking, which of these, and more, herbs can I add together in a Gelatine capsule and weigh out in JUST the right dosage and scale to make their combined synergistic effect a Suitable one for Lucid Dreaming.
Besides Pills, one can also experiment with Herbal mixture Joints and Herbal mixture tea.

Kind of like trying to attain what feels most like the ''Lucid'' Feeling while awake with psycho-active herbs and substances. And then we could take those effects with us into our sleep&dreams.

Any Suggestions from you people here as for herbs or substances to add that might help attaining ''waking lucididty''?
