So, I know that Mugwort is renowned for premonitions and astral travel, but I heard that smoking it can induce Lucid Dreams for some people. I tried it but nothing happened for me. Let's just say that it tasted a lot better smoked than it does as a tea. Anyone else tried it? What happened? How else do you go about having your Lucid Dreams?
Personally I like to harvest fresh mugwort and keep it near my bed to dry. This has resulted in prophetic and extremely lucid dreaming. I've tried smoking it, and tea. But too much mugwort tea is bad for your liver. Keep this in mind.
Thanks for the info. Yeah, I also keep a little dried mugwort in my pillow case. I believe it helps with my prophetic dreams, as well. It's also a favorite of mine when making dream pillows.
I'm glad you are aware of herbal radiation...a lot of folks seem to think it's BS... but I've experienced it first-hand. Experience is where it's at, people.
Totally. Until you've worked with the herbs and dealt with it firsthand there's no way you could possibly know..and if you keep such a closed mind, you're never going to experience anything worthwhile.
Does this mean if you drink it for a while in the long term or if you drink a bunch in a short term period of time. Cause I didn't know this and I recently drank alot of mugwort O.O And one night I had a bad pain I think it was just my abs though.
this will sound weird but if u what lucid dreams keep on your skin one of those nicotine patches over night and quitting smoking becomes fun lol.
MUGWORT COMMON NAMES Mugwort; Common Artemisia; Felon Herb; St. John's Herb; chrysanthemum weed; sailor's tobacco; moxa; Ai Ye; armoise mugwort is coming into its own as a herb to facilitate vivid and lucid dreams, especially if you engage in mugwort smoking just before bed. On its own or smoked with another calming herb such as catnip, mugwort smoke can induce feelings of calm and mellowness lasting about 30-60 minutes, without making you feel clouded or “dumb”. Its calming actions alone make mugwort an excellent replacement for tobacco, but mugwort’s effects on deep sleep and dreaming are where things really get interesting. The active compound in mugwort is thujone, an aromatic oil also found in wormwood, the plant used to brew the alcoholic drink absinthe. Consumed orally or by inhaling mugwort herb smoke or aromatic oil, mugwort can improve dream recall and sometimes induce lucid dreams when used shortly before bed. Some people recommend smoking mugwort and taking it as tea simultaneously to enhance its effects, or wrapping fresh mugwort in an aromatic dream pillow so you can inhale its active constituents as you drift off to sleep. Many mugwort users have reported the dream pillow method to be highly effective: the effects kick in as they enter the hypnagogic pre-sleep state, generating sensations of floating or rising upward that can translate into a lucid dream or even an out of body experience! According to the anecdotal reports we gathered, what mugwort smoking seems to do is nudge your dreams in a more vivid direction. If you usually dream in black and white, for instance, mugwort may lend your dreams color; if you normally have some ability to steer your dreams, mugwort smoking may lend you a greater degree of control. So while you may not achieve mugwort-induced lucid dreams immediately, its gradual use can act like a stepping stone to help train your brain to achieve lucid dreams more regularly. Mugwort is one of the power herbs that got us more than interested in the positive effects of herbs. How amazing that some Mugwort leaf placed under the pillow will not only induce colourful and lucid dreaming, but dreams of prophecy and meaning as well. For those skeptics out there – try it! One morning you will wake up after dreaming of something and you’ll witness its manifestation that very day. At the very least, you will experience colourful, medieval, astral, meaningful, pleasant, adventurous, and/or lucid dreams. Smoking the herb directly into the lungs or as an evening incense assists these lucid dreams. Drinking the calming, liver cleansing tea before sleep seems to keep you longer in a conscious dream state (REM sleep).
i don't "go about having lucid dreams". i wake up in a parallel universe. i know the difference between that universe and this one because of the way some things work differently from each other in each. as for mugwarts. i would know nothing about this. i'm not even sure what it is. i don't think i've ever consumed it, or did so knowingly at any rate. i could be mistaken. there are things i have consumed at one time or another that i still don't know what they were. maybe that could have been one of them. but as far as doing so having to do with dreams, that's something i would thus have no way of knowing. this term lucid makes not a whole lot of sense to me. when i dream its just like, not just like, is, being awake, like being awake here, only there instead of here. there's no abstraction bullshit affects. its just another universe, like this one is to it when i'm awake there. i don't always wake up in the same place in it. things are seldom arranged the same way in it twice. except geography and things like bus and train routes. those tend to stay the same from one visit to the next. and it usually doesn't take long to orient myself there. and the geography is different from here. the people are, when i meet them, and i'm not more social there then i am here. and the people there aren't the same people as the people here, even if some of them look almost the same. so i don't get this 'lucid' bit. its perfectly every bit just as completely real, just mostly different. and i have no trouble telling one from the other or which one i happen to be in. (i don't smoke anything, so i guess that's why i'm not more familiar with it.)
