The original blue lotus run came back mostly null. The obvious objection: maybe the dose was too low. So this follow-up pushed it: roughly twice the typical amount, brewed as tea, across seven nights.
It didn’t rescue the effect. Recall ticked up on a couple of nights, vividness was inconsistent, and there was no lucidity and no hypnagogic imagery at any point, the same shape as the first run, just louder in the cup, not in the dreams.
Dose-response is one of the cleaner things a single-subject protocol can probe: hold everything else fixed, change the amount, see if the signal scales. Here it didn’t. That’s stronger evidence for “this plant does little” than a single low-dose run alone.
