    WBTB Mugwort
    MILD

    I got to sleep in the recliner and dream about my cats running around and jumping. Sputnik keeps jumping on top of the ledge about the front door, hanging there for a bit and then jumping down to the floor with a thud. I watch for a bit from the recliner and then I remember.

    I instantly get vibrations and see a bright white light then dark. The vibrations are week and intermittent. I wait unsure if I am in the dream or not. Then I remember I was already dreaming before. I get up and go outside. I sort of half open the door and half phase through. The door was forgotten.

    If feel a brief cold and then a smell like rain. I find that odd for a dream. I can see fine and the world seems solid but I feel like I need to stabilize. I think about liking the sidewalk again. This time I but my hands in some dirt and feel it. It looks more like potting soil. This is were things get ultra real.

    I hear some rock music with heavy drums. I look around and the neighborhood looks convincingly real. I seriously wonder if I was sleep walking/dreaming like I used to do as a child. I become really worried and self-conscious. I look across the street toward the direction of the music. It seems like it is the house directly across from me. I try to see who is over there but my vision gets blurry. Then the dream sort of folds in on itself and my awareness shifts to my physical body. I think about DEILD but it doesn't come right away so I think I better enter into my DJ.

      Hey, did you see the Advanced Task of the Month about leaving yourself a note? That is absolutely perfect for your dream style. In fact, it reminded me a lot of your experiment with hiding playing cards for yourself from a while back. I'll definitely be trying this one.

      And yeah, so mugwort! Awesome results! I will have to pick some of this stuff up! Is that something you just like swing by the grocery store for or did you need to order it online?

      No. I was really hoping for that one. I'm excited!

      I got mugwort at that whole foods place that sells herbs by the ounce. I have to warn you though it's not very tasty. I made mine super strong. 5 - 7 teaspoons boiled in 2 cups water.

      Great, thanks for the info, man! (And the warning about the taste, heh heh heh...) I am excited about this stuff. Could be a great thing to get going once per week! Hopefully I can source some easily enough.

      I'm with you on the task -- gonna write my note tonight!

      This is an interesting one.... Is this your first time using mugwort? And what do you think about it? I smoked it a few times before sleeping a few years back, but I can't remember if it had much of an effect aside from making my dreams trippier....

      I'm 2 for 2 with strong mugwort tea. It seems really effective with MILD technique. I like it and I plan to keep it in my rotation. I think it comes close to calea z and may even be more effective. Of course each person is different.

      Also I had two more LDs after this one so thats pretty promising.

      Ah, cool. Good to know, thanks. I think I might actually have some around here somewhere, too, I just found my bag of calea the other day.... I may look into it again!
