Why not?omera a dit:
Not proven, just something people believe in. I don't.
By the way: what is more important to you: lucidity while you're asleep (or as you and many others describe it: a rare and fleeting experience of lucidity once a year or so), or while you're awake? If you want to experience lucidity while awake, for more than a couple of seconds, and on a regular basis, learn a bit more about psychedelics.
I wouldn't expect too much from that herb.
I consider most magical practices I've come across as materialistic and old-fashioned. Aleister Crowley, for example, is from before the spiritual revolution of psychedelics and humanistic psychology, which started in the late fifties and early sixties. Materialistic in the sense that it tries to control rather than accept, and often is concerned with petty mortal concerns like attracting a lover, obtaining money, objects or psychic skills, "protecting one's subtle body" from attack by evil entities or witchcraft, making others pay for their wrongs, and so forth.
I've known a couple of people who were heavily into magic, and none of them did psychedelics, read books on psychology or really bothered about philosophical issues like the nature of reality and the self.
