Oneirodom

The dream cabin. It's a simplification of "Oneirodomatio," and while it's not a traditional Greek word, the roots of "oneiro" and "dom" still carry their original meanings.

Lucidol

Lucidol, a specialized sedative, leverages CNS depressant principles to enhance lucid dream stability, targeting the GABA neurotransmitter for controlled, vivid dreams. Available in liquid, pill, or injector forms, it's a refined version of traditional tranquilizers, tailored for deep dream experiences. Following a complex authorization process, Lucidol was approved by dream research authorities for use by students of Oneironautics. It plays a crucial role in the story, as it becomes subject to misuse and modification.

Tubugan

Tubugan is the unauthorized sedative developed by Prof. Ebbinghaus.

It is designed to enhance and stabilize dreams by interacting with brain microtubules. Targeting the tubulin proteins within these structures, it modulates their vibration and electron-rich areas, amplifying quantum effects and influences consciousness. Tubugan's unique lipophilic properties enable it to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier, ensuring direct interaction with key brain components.
