Are you guys/girls sure this class exists?

[edit]

I'm aware of psychedelics once having been called oneirogens, but I'm a pharmacologist and never came across this term any more in the literature. Since there are no references to its use in the scientific literature, I'm questioning whether some wikipedia editor decided to make it up.

Does the term pharmacocentric exist in your literature?

Dream incubation redirects here??

[edit]

Dream incubation should not redirect here. The technique of dream incubation has nothing to do with psychedelics. JS747 (talk) 01:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Except of course for the glaringly obvious fact that psychedelics induce dream-like states?

Sourcing

[edit]

none of the refs here were OK per MEDRS.... The term "Oneirogen" pulls no reviews at pubmed. Hm. under construction. Jytdog (talk) 03:07, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Which part of medicine is occupied with dreams, for it to be included in pubmed? Oh... none. Considering that, do you find that surprising?

Poison

[edit]

I understand “oneirogen” is a pretty vague term (it was coined by new-age groups rather than pharmacology sources) and there are very few studies on any substances as dream enhancers. But my main concern is that amanita muscaria is listed here without ANY indication that it’s pretty poisonous. Should probably be removed from the list. 2601:204:DE00:7350:D130:D66:A43C:A6F6 (talk) 05:38, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
