Up until recently, the use of this flower root was only a tradition amongst a South African ethnic group. Everyone experiences the Silene capensis a little different but some reported effects are notorious.
Silene Capensis, also known as African dream root, is a flower that has only recently fallen under the western eye. The S. capensis flower and its root are considered a holy teacher plant by the Xhosa people, a South African ethnic group. Its roots are used to induce vivid and prophetic dreams that can become lucid, although the latter effect is only reported by a selected few.
It should be noted that much of the findings and research conducted on this root come from traditional and personal experiences and are thus anecdotal. Apart from one recent study, not much interest has gone into this flower.
