Dream Dust

Dream dust is a highly addictive, artificial drug. It is synthesized by soaking herbs and roots known for helping insomnia and inducing sleep along with psychoactive substances such as diviner’s sage and moon shrooms in an alcohol bath. The solution is then distilled into a into a concentrated tincture, by boiling it, removing much of its water content. The concentrate, which is gooey and pliable, is first set into an ice bath and then carefully heated until it dries out, resembling small rocks. Based on the purity and concentration of the psychoactive ingredients in the drug, dream dust varies in color anywhere from mint green to white; the closer to white the nugget is, the more concentrated and powerful it is.

Dream dust is consumed by inhalation; larger rocks are easily pulverized into smaller grainier particles. The effects of the drug manifest fairly quickly. Within minutes, users find their bodies sluggish and lethargic, and the urge to sleep becomes so powerful that individuals are liable to fall asleep while walking or in the middle of a sentence if they do not already have arrangements made.

Users experience strong lucid dreams, the attraction of the drug. The effects of dream dust generally last 2-4 hours, but because of the altered time perception in dreamscapes coupled with the drug’s ability to alter time perception, the effects can seem to last much longer to the user.

The drug is highly addictive, though it seems more psychologically addictive than physically addictive, especially in those that have low qualities of life.
