Popular Dream Aids: Calea Zacatechichi and More

Dream aids are chemicals, vitamins, or plants that have an effect on ones dreams. Usually this means making dreams more vivid, colorful, intense or realistic. Often the goal of taking such supplements is not just to make ones dreams more vivid, colorful, or intense, but also to induce what’s known as a lucid dream. This is a dream in which the dreamer realizes that what he or she is experiencing is a dream! This may or may not lead to the ability to have control over what happens in the dreams.

Popular dream aids include the use of Vitamin B6, galantamine, choline, calea zacatechichi, african dream root.

Using such items is best regarded as an assistant to your main dream work practice. Dream aids cannot take the place of dream journaling, lucid dream induction methods, and other techniques used to remember and work with dreams.
