Herbal Dream Therapy
In trying to replicate the dreaming activities that I’ve had before, I am having limited success at present. I do know that other factors may contribute.
The following site seems to have a wealth of information on different things to try. As always, thinking required:
At this point I have experimented with Kava Kava, Passion Flower, Valerian Root, St. John’s Wort, Dark Chocolate, and a variety of B vitamins.
The combination that seems to have worked so far was spaghetti (whole wheat), and spinach the night before and other than that going to bed on a relatively empty stomach, waking up for about an hour, and then going back to sleep feeling “lethargic”.
Over the last couple of days I have tried passion flower and higher doses of Kava tinctures, but without success. My dreams are sometimes vivid, and sometimes I can’t remember over the last few days. The level of “vividness” is not nearly as high as it ever has been.
I’m thinking of trying Holy Basil over the next couple nights.
Here is a larger list that I still have yet to try:
- Mugwort,
- Mullein,
- Dittany of Crete,
- Calea Zacatechichi,
- Salvia Divinorum,
- Scutellaria Indica,
- Licorice Root,
- Vervain,
- Jasmine,
- Honeysuckle,
- Datura,
- Bee Pollen,
- Catnip,
- Hops,
- Scullcap,
- Mimosa,
- Lavender,
- Damiana,
- Withania Somnifera,
- Chamomile,
- Cardamom,
- Gotu Kola,
- Ginkgo Biloba,
- Ibogaine,
- Verbena,
- Rose,
- Cinnamon,
- Marigold,
- Nutmeg,
- Peppermint,
- Holly,
- Yarrow, and
- Anise.
My umm… soul (I think) did point me towards Hawthorn as a treatment for high blood pressure, which seems to have worked. I think it also pointed towards “Kava Kava” for me. I have yet to try Kava Kava in a higher dose by itself.
In other news, over the last day I’ve seen an interesting pattern. 333 has been popping up like mad today.
