African dream root

Indigenous to the green river valleys of the eastern cape province of South Africa, this obscure flowering species is regarded by Xhosa diviners as a sacred plant with the ability to induce remarkably vivid and prophetic dreams.

Xhosa shamans regard the plant as a type of "Ubulawu" or medicinal root that they call "Undela Ziimhlophe," which translates literally as "white paths" or "white ways."

Effects

There exists very little documentation of the pharmacology of African dream root (Silene capensis). It is suspected that its dream-inducing activity is likely due to triterpenoid saponins contained within its roots. Relatively small amounts of root (250 mg range) are reported to be active. The plant exerts only minimal alterations in waking consciousness, yet the effects upon the dream state can be profound.

Usage

Method 1 :
Half a teaspoon is mixed with half a cup of water. This is drunk early in the morning upon waking, while the stomach is empty. When you feel hungry it is safe to have breakfast.

Method 2 :
A heaped tablespoon is mixed with half a liter of water, and the water blended until a froth is formed. Keep sucking the froth off the container until you feel `bloated’ with froth, and then go to bed.

Ingest it on an empty stomach, and then when you feel hungry, you can eat. This will give the alkaloids time to travel through your system. The effects will be felt that night. The alkaloids travel quite slowly through the blood system, so it won't get excreted out during the day. Before going to sleep, focus on a question you would like to be ‘answered’.
While sleeping, your dreams will be exceptionally colorful, and will be remembered upon awakening.

Precautions :
Use the recommended amounts only; the actives are active in these doses. Larger amounts will have a purgative action, however there are no fatalities or harmful side effects reported, only a good vomiting and cleansing out of the stomach. Small doses over several days will affect even the most insensitive person, so there is no need to take a large amount.
For more insensitive persons, or for people who use other alkaloids or have other alkaloids in their system, a more `clean' person would be more sensitive. The alkaloids from using some over a few days would build up in your system.

“hi,
i bought 10 grams.
When i took the dream root, i cut it into small pieces and drank it in a cup of water water (i also swallowed the pieces) 4 hours before i went to bed. It did not work somehow.
The second time i took it as a tea in the morning and it did not work either...i do not know if i missed something in the description how to use it, but for me it was just a loss of money.”
