SWIM just saw the thread Alfa posted on this. SWIM feels obliged to elaborate on this very special bark. If any SWIYs have had experience with this funky dream bark, SWIY should post their experiences here.
SWIM finds this dream ethno more swell than others SWIM has tried (calea zacatechichi, silene capensis, Synaptolepis kirkii). Granted, SWIM has had strange dreams on all three, the latter two are exclusively for dreaming, no conscious effects were felt, and the calea, while having conscious effects, are not as swell as alepidea amatymbica.
SWIM finds the conscious effects of this dream (alepidea amatymbica) root to be like marijuana, minus the "paranoia" feeling. Also, while mellowing SWIM out, SWIM can still hold a conversation without zoning out and forgetting what was being talked about. SWIM even thinks this stuff is as good, if not better than marijuana. It pairs nicely with weed too with the similar effects--killing two birds with one stone: making SWIMs weed last longer, and the earthy smell of the dream root drowns out the peculiar smell of the marijuana, making public smoking a more viable option. SWIM smoked with a J of 60/40 marijuana/dream root with a friend who never smoked the dream root before and noted a difference in effects as well as an "incense-like" smell.
For those with insomnia, this root is perfect for all the insomniac SWIYs. The mellowing out feeling is a good precursor for falling asleep, sleep comes quite easy. Then there are the dreams...
SWIM has only had one wet dream in his entire life, and that was after smoking Alepidea Amatymbica. SWIM found himself a Jedi in a Neiman Marcus department store, killing everyone in sight. SWIM's Jedi power was the ability to go through objects, SWIM recalls walking through the perfume display and slicing the perfume sale's lady with his light saber. Then SWIM came across a beautiful girl in a skirt shopping with her mother. SWIM approached the girl, reached under her skirt, pulled down her panties, and started fucking the girl right in front of her mother, jaw dropped and speechless. SWIM could feel "contractions" during the dream, and woke up with protein-stained boxers.
Last night SWIM did the 60/40 weed/dream root combo and had some crazy dreams. SWIM was swimming in a room that was filled with water and found a trap door on a wall that lead to a staircase that took him inside some crazy buffet restaurant that was up in the sky. Then SWIM was a helicopter pilot blowing up villages in the Gaza strip.
There are many more dreams SWIM has had after smoking this. Some are just "what the fuck" randomness, some are violent, and some SWIY will find themselves waking up wishing the dream would have lasted 5 minutes more because it was so cool. One of the random ones SWIM had was when he dreamed his Aunt was a meth addict.
SWIM highly recommends this, and is curious if any SWIY's have had experience with this. If so, SWIYs should post their experiences here.
