Passion flower & vivid dreaming

[Deepconcepts]

Before you read, i'm not saying passion flower will do this to everyone.

I know passion flower is not at the same intensity as other substances. This is why i found it unique and a good post. 

update: i provided a few links to help surface more evidence that this isn't an isolated incident.

Please feel free to only tell me your experiences.

Every time i have passion flower, a tablespoon twice a day, i get vivid dreams.

Vividness varies from person to person, what i can tell you is that it's worth some looking into. Passion flower, is helping me in my daily life to feel more grounded and centered. I feel more balanced and stress free, not at the same level as stronger plants and drugs will of course.

@Deepconcepts mind over matter.

if someone believes that sleeping without a pillow will cause the same effect, it will... for him/her.

@SoonHei Before ever having passion flower daily, I never had vivid dreams like this and never expected it either. I should just stop there but i believe it's worth mulling over.

The only truth you should trust is your own personal research and experience.

Such a fantastic read.

I also have experienced vivid dreams after psychedelics and other plants too and I'm definitely intelligent enough to notice the difference. between regular dreaming and enhanced dreaming, maybe you are unable to vivid dream i don't know. Some people can't and never will.

Well, If you don't believe me...

 You can try giving this routine a run for your money

2-4 table spoons daily, of dried passion flower before bed and have it steeped for 5 minutes.

Even possibly for an entire week to potentiate and increase vividness, if you want something more realistic.

@Deepconcepts indeed.

And will chexk it out. I did have a period of epic vivid dreams last year. It was like each night going to sleep was strapping in for a thrill n joy ride. 

Love it.

 

Didnt have any lucid dream. Had one way back when i was younger. Lasted 4-5 seconds and woke up due to excitement I think lol

Awesome! I completely agree, such a thrill ! there's this commonality that vivid dreams seem to have with psychedelics. Going into each experience the emotional baggage we carry can rise to surface, our outlook on life, things we're ignoring. In short, it's almost like a form of self development.

honestly i spent so much time writing on this post, more than i'd like to admit! 

I'm working on proper sentence structure, context and being straight to the point. i'm getting that adult education  It's somewhat difficult still to get my message across in a mature, understandable fashion but I hope things are clear enough. Especially since everything can be often misconstrued through the internet.

On the topic of Vivid Dreaming..

I don't smoke weed very often but there was one time I had some from a friend and so I smoked to go to bed for like 4-5 days in a row. I then ran out and I am aware weed reduces REM sleep. The next two nights I went to bed my dreams were insane. It had triggered my first two vivid lucid dreams.

@Shadowraix i agree, i once smoked weed every day for several years. Then i quit and experienced the same thing.
