abstract
This article is a set of practical approaches to working with Master Plants with the intent of lucid dreaming. They are based on our personal experiences that came from doing a number of plant Dietas over the past couple of years.
Background
There is a bunch of information about Dietas on the internet but most of it can be summarized as “Dietas are great healing and learning vehicle. Go to the jungle and let the shaman guide you.“
While having an experienced shaman/facilitator/guide is of extreme help it is possible to learn directly from plants. It’s not just possible – it can be easy and fun.
INTENT
But doesn’t the Dieta need to be opened by a shaman?
The key to building your relationship with a plant is your intent. Simply by intending to open up and learn from the plant you already opened the Dieta.
SAFETY
What if I do accidentally something wrong?
As long your intent is clear and you act with the respect to the plant there is nothing you can do wrong. Any experience is a valid experience. Having that sets you free – free to learn, free to experiment. These Master Plants are extremely wise and farseeing. By the time you started the Dieta the plant already knows how it will go and how it can best support you.
DREAMING
Now, let’s return to the subject of Dreaming. While Dietas is the most reliable way to experience magical vivid and lucid dreams there is a set of useful approaches to work with the plant outside of Dieta. Why?
-
Often strict Dietas can be tiring. Sometimes we need to give our bodies a break and eat these tasty pancakes.
-
Restrictions for Dieta are not currently feasible – health conditions, heavy physical work, etc.
-
Simple curiosity, experimentation.
DECOCTION
-
Prepare a single serving of the Master Plant brew. You can find some guidance here.
-
Go to bed on empty stomach.
-
Right before you shut off your lights & eyes – drink the brew.
-
The more you dieted with the plant the higher chances you will dream very (sometimes extremely) profound dreams.
TINCTURE
-
You will experiment with the dosage but you can start with 1 teaspoon of the 1:4 herb/menstruum ratio tincture.
-
Same as with decoction – do it on empty stomach as the last thing before falling asleep.

Summary
