    I am fascinated with lucid dreaming.
    Have you ever taken dream herbs to promote lucid dreaming? I take mugwart in tea form,
    it has a very unusual tactile component, allowing the dreamer to feel objects in the dream.

      “Remember, Mugwort…”
      The tactile component you mention sounds fascinating – the first I’ve heard of that. Have you written about this/could you share more? I began lucid dreaming when young, without the knowledge of dream herbs, but their culinary use here means I have benefitted with lucid dreams enhanced thusly. You’ve reminded me to experience this now more consciously, thank you.❂

        I have only noticed the tactile experience with mugwart. In terms of general lucid dreaming I have found that herbs falling into the anti-inflammatory category tend to be herbs used for dreaming.
        I have noticed a connection with tactile activities diring the day influencing tactile sensations in dreaming such as playing guitar before bedtime or doing work out in the garden.

        Here is an example of one of my tactile dreams.
        Upon waking,, I wrote as best I could ,to describe the experience.

        Whilst playing my guitar, take thou’st dear friend by the neck, bespear thee me headstock and tuning pegs into the wall thusly, all’st the while me playing thee still, a melody that takes the Earl. Bending the wood without splinters there, how far behind we matters not, for it will not break though bough I bend.
        Making metals therein more malleable now, clay like, in my hands play, molding the melodious music, then as a liquid, throw I as a fine sheet of quicksilver into the air, the two metals swim together, colliding at times dissimilar not from the static snow of a television’s screen, though electric blue, it’s true, it’s a thing, I have made.
