Ubulawu :
The ingestion of
Ubulawu plays a fundamental role in the relationship between the diviner and the ancestors.
Some types are reported to be psychoactive and their use, together with the ritual complex (song and dance), often results in altered states of consciousness with accompanying visionary phenomena such as visions or lucid dreams relating to the ancestors. The potential psychoactivity of some of the ubulawu plants may account for the curing (psychotherapeutic) of the `
intwaso' condition and the reported contact with spiritual entities.
The Zulu revere and respect their ancestors, they never worship their ancestors.
A common feature of the ancestral-spirits, is that their communication often takes the form of significant dreams.
Oneirogenic (onei·ro·gen·ic) (o”ni-ro-jen´ik) producing a dreamlike state; capable of causing dreams.

The ancestors are always in me.
