Used traditionally in Oxaca Mexico amongst the same tribes who use Salvia Divinorum. The Indians claim that it clarifies the senses, creates a general sense of well being and induces spectacular dreams. Calea increases the frequency of lucid dreams but not automatically. Instead, dreams usually become more realistic and memorable to the individual. A controlled sleep study showed that ingesting Calea tea before bedtime increased the number of dreams recalled. This phenomenon is the result of Calea activating the 'Memory Continuity Facilitator' in the brain which prevents the mental “jumping“ around from place and time in dreams. Effects: As a side effect, Calea can also produce feelings of well-being that can continue for one or more days. At lower doses, Calea produces a mild euphoric feeling that is similar to cannabis. At all dosage levels, mental clarity and time lagging is usually experienced. Currently there are no noted side effects from using Calea. Dosage: Calea can be smoked or made into a tea
