'''Oneirogen''' describes a wide array of psychoactive plants and chemicals ranging from normal dream enhancers to intense [[dissociative]] or [[deliriant]] drugs. When taken at oneirogenic dosages an hour or two before bed, these compounds are said to have little to no effect on waking consciousness, and will not exhibit [[Dream potentiation|their effects]] until the user falls into a natural sleep state. | '''Oneirogen''' describes a wide array of psychoactive plants and chemicals ranging from normal dream enhancers to intense [[dissociative]] or [[deliriant]] drugs.

Many dream-enhancing plants such as dream herb ([[Calea zacatechichi]]) and African dream herb ([[Entada rheedii]]) as well as the hallucinogenic Diviner's Sage ([[Salvia divinorum]]) have been used for thousands of years in a form of divination through dreams called oneiromancy in which practitioners seek to receive psychic or prophetic information during dream states. Effects experienced with the use of oneirogens may include [[microsleep]], [[hypnagogia]], [[fugue state]]s, [[rapid eye movement sleep|REM]], [[hypnic jerk]]s, [[lucid dream]]s, and even [[out-of-body experience]]s. | Many dream-enhancing plants such as dream herb ([[Calea Zacatechichi|Calea zacatechichi]]) and African dream herb ([[Entada rheedii]]) as well as the hallucinogenic Diviner's Sage ([[Salvia divinorum]]) have been used for thousands of years in a form of divination through dreams called oneiromancy in which practitioners seek to receive psychic or prophetic information during dream states.
