Peppermint Tea

[Scoaus]

I'm not sure how many of you guys have tried teas to help you dream, but peppermint HAS worked for me. I drank Tazo Refresh Mint tea for two nights. It's an infusion of peppermint, spearmint, and a bit of tarragon. Those two nights I drank it, I had two vivid dreams. They were small; but larger than anything I would have had without them. I wouldn't call this luck either, as I do not dream (or at least remember) my dreams ever. I will be trying again tonight with pure peppermint tea I bought. My friend is also into dreaming, so I asked her to try some of the tea I gave her. She said she had the most vivid (and scary) dream she has ever had. So maybe it's coincidence, but i'll keep trying and reporting back.

Glad you had this result. I've tried peppermint tea, and menthol tincture -- no result for me. Actually took too much menthol and I found it stimulating and had trouble getting to sleep.

Congratulations on the success! I've also had good success with a strong peppermint tea during WBTB. The main downside for me was always the inconvenience of preparing, but it definitely seemed to ramp up the intensity and volume of my dreaming. In case you haven't seen it, Alyzarin created an amazing thread about using menthol (via peppermint tea, cough drops, etc.) as a dream enhancer. Lots and lots of great research in there, plus lots of people trying it out. You may want to add your own experiences there too! http://www.dreamviews.com/research/1...-enhancer.html Good luck, and I wish you continued success with your trials!
