Dream potentiation
Dream potentiation can be described as a cognitive component which increases the subjective intensity, vividness and frequency of sleeping dream states. This effect also results in dreams having a more complex, cohesive plot and higher level of detail and definition. Additionally, the effect causes a greatly increased likelihood of them becoming lucid.
Dream potentiation is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of oneirogenic compounds which is a class of hallucinogen that is used to specifically potentiate dreams when taken before sleep. However, it can occur as a residual side effect from falling asleep under the influence or on a comedown of an extremely wide variety of substances or it can occur a relatively persistent effect that has arisen as a symptom of hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD).
