From the beginning of civilization, dreams have guided the inner and outer life of human beings both in relation to each other and to the divine. For centuries shamans have employed oneirogens in finding meaning and healing in their dreams. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDrugs of the Dreaming\u003c\/i\u003e details the properties and actions of these dream allies, establishing ethnobotanical profiles for 35 oneirogens, including those extracted from organic sources--such as \u003ci\u003eCalea zacatechichi\u003c\/i\u003e (dream herb or \"leaf of the god\"), \u003ci\u003eSalvia divinorum\u003c\/i\u003e, and a variety of plants from North and South America and the Pacific used in shamanic practices--as well as synthetically derived oneirogens. They explain the historical use of each oneirogen, its method of action, and what light it sheds on the scientific mechanism of dreaming. They conclude that oneirogens enhance the comprehensibility and facility of the dream\/dreamer relationship and hold a powerful key for discerning the psychological needs and destinies of dreamers in the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Park Street Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594771743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.08w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2007 pg. 125\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gianluca Toro, Benjamin Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661118042268,"sku":"9781594771743","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_97a35364-c705-4bad-8d21-28c34d373470.jpg?v=1603898673","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/drugs-of-the-dreaming-oneirogens-salvia-divinorum-and-other-dream-enhancing-plants-9781594771743","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
