Dream Herb Shaman Medicine - A Discussion
Dream Herb as shaman medicine is one of many ethnobiologicals that are used by shamans in most parts of the world. While this is a common name for the herb, there are at least four distinct plants that are considered Dream Herb. These are Calea Zacatehichi, Valerian seeds, African Dream Root, and Entada rheedi. One more plant Salvia though not used as a dream herb, also produces the active ingredient a crystalline alkaloid C21H26O8.
According to Wikipedia the definition of this plant Calea Zacatehichi, is also known as Cheech, and Bitter Grass. It is a plant used by the indigenous Chontal of the Mexican state of Oaxaca for oneiromancy (a form of divination based on dreams.) The plant naturally occurs from southern Mexico to northern Costa Rica. It has been scientifically demonstrated that extracts of this plant increase reaction times and the frequency and/or recollection of dreams versus placebo and diazepam. It is also employed by the Chontal people as a medicinal herb against gastrointestinal disorders, and is used as an appetizer, cathartic anti-dysentery remedy, and as a fever-reducing agent.
According to Chontal medicine men, this plant is capable of "clarifying the senses", and call it the "leaf of God". They utilize it in several diferent ways, one is to smoke it and drink it as a tea, and the other is to place it under their pillow before going to sleep and receive answers to the question they are seeking an answer to will come in a dream.
Traditional medical uses include , treating gastrointestinal disorders, and is used as an appetizer, cathartic anti-dysentery remedy, and as a fever-reducing agent.
In controlled experiments this herb has in fact to been found to increase the superficial stages of sleep and the number of spontaneous awakenings. The subjective reports of dreams were significantly higher than both placebo and diazepam, indicating an increase in hypnagogic imagery occurring during superficial sleep stages. A collection of interviews and written reports concerning the psychotropic effects of these preparations on 12 volunteers has been published. Free reports and direct questioning disclosed a discrete enhancement of all sensorial perceptions, an increase in imagery, mind thought discontinuity, void flux of ideas, and difficulties in retrieval. These effects were followed by somnolence and a short sleep during which lively dreams were reported by the majority of the volunteers.
There is also reported a feeling of well-being is said to persist for a day or more with no unpleasant side effects. Leaves show some experimental antiatherogenic and CNS depression activity and the plant contains 0.01% of a crystalline alkaloid, C21H26O8. This alkaloid is the same one found in Salvia.

These effects were followed by somnolence and a short sleep during which lively dreams were reported by the majority of the volunteers.
These results show that zacatechichi administrations appears to enhance the number and/or recollection of dreams during sleeping periods. The data are in agreement with the oneirogenic reputation of the plant among the Chontal Indians. all this suggests that Calea zacatechichi induces episodes of lively hypnagogic imagery during SWS stage 1 of sleep, a psychophysiological effect that would be the basis of the ethnobotanical use of the plant as an oneirogenic and oneiromantic agent.
This means that Dream Herb when utilized by individuals who are experienced in the changes in perception of reality, like shamans, it is very useful.
Shamans across the world use a variety of substances and techniques to enhance their ability to see more than the physical reality. After they find the non physical cause of a particular ailment they can remove it or assist the individual in removing it themselves.
In the latest video I posted here, a German film crew investigated several different shamans across the world and discovered by direct observation the positive effects of Shaman healing. This video is almost 1.5 hrs long but well worth watching.
