Pharmacology

A substance that induces vivid, dream-like states of consciousness, from the Greek for "dream" and "to create." Includes azepinoindoles like ibogaine and beta-carbolines like harmaline, one of ayahuasca's active alkaloids.

Example: Ibogaine's own multi-hour, dreamlike "waking" state is the clearest example — see our full patent and clinical history of the compound.
