Thread: Essential oil room spray ?

The spray im using is from bartenblends.com

Interested to know if you've had any more ld when using this?

It appears so. The effects have been profound enough that i asked the site owner what the ingredients in the spray are and why it would be having this effect. The response,

"In the US, manufactures may protect their fragrance formula by omitting the ingredients. I have chosen to do this, but I will tell you what I suspect. One of the ingredients is Lemongrass, it was used by the ancient Egyptians for enhancing psychic powers and inducing prophetic dreams. Another ingredient is Frankincense, widely known for having mystical properties, studies have shown that its aroma raises important neurotransmitters, resulting in increased well being and relaxation. There is at least one other ingredient that could be a factor, but I have a hunch it is primarily one of those two. I have also had increased dream vividness since the day I developed it. Im glad you are enjoying it, send a testimonial if you get a chance. "

Very interesting! Thanks for this.

I use herbs and incense quite a bit and I often use Frankincense. I burn it in my room but I've never noticed any change in dream pattern or LD's from it. Saying that though, I've never put the two together so I may have had but just never noticed lol.
Never tried Lemongrass so I'd be interested to experiment with that.
I'm definitely going to look into this as I think you may be onto something here Keep us posted with the results.

If only he'd given ALL the ingredients I can understand why he didn't though

Cool, maybe try burning some frankincense at wbtb and see what happens. Ya, I'll keep experimenting, I ordered some lemon grass tea now so we will see what happens with that.

I am thinking about using an electronic diffuser and putting it on a timer so that the spray is automatically released during my most vivid dreaming hours.

Yeah, I'll definitely give the Frankincense and WBTB a try. Good idea

If you try Lemongrass with a diffuser I'd definitely be interested to know how things go...

Wow! This is interesting to know. I have some lemongrass oil and will give it a shot. I've been using a lavender oil roll-on (I got it at The Giving Essence) because I'm a bit of an insomniac. I didn't expect the lavender to help with dreaming, let alone lucid dreams, but for me it did. I gave some to my mom and didn't tell her about the dreaming effects I was experiencing, and she said later "Gee, it's weird, but I've been dreaming a lot now!" I'm fascinated with using herbs and essential oils, so I'll give the lemongrass a try and come back and tell you what happens. Oh, and I have some frankincense resin too. I may try that as well.

Cool, I think I smell some lavender in the room spray I've been using too.

Anymore success yet with the room spray Lucid4sho?

Ya. I had better recall, longer dreams, and more lucids this past week than ever, I wish I found this spray years ago. I'm definitely going to buy the timed diffuser after xmas. The site I get the spray from is having $1 shipping until the 31st , I already ordered several bottles before they started that unfortunately.

You have a PM

maybe more energizing oils like peppermint can help. They're supposed to be good for concentration and memory. perhaps when you wake up in the middle of the night for a WILD. Im trying clarysage right now, trying lavender next.

I'll have to try that spray, lucid4sho. I did try the lemongrass oil a couple of nights, but I didn't have the results I got from the lavender roll-on. I may try and see if I can get some frankincense to add to the lemongrass. I like the idea of using a diffuser. I have a humidifier with that option, so I think I'll try putting the oils in the diffuser receptacle next time.

I used it again last night and I was able to WILD several times in a row, right back into the same dream, normally I am terrible at WILD, its really strange. I'd order the spray soon because shipping is only $1 until Dec. 31st , normally its $4.95.

Good thinking, I didn't think about that some oils might be more effective before bed and some at WBTB.

Last night I tried spraying the dream spray on my chest at WBTB, knowing that essential oils can penetrate the skin and into the blood stream. I woke up a few hours later and strangely had not become lucid all night, so I tried to WILD and I was suddenly in a massive white space that seemed to contain the waking world + the dream world at the same time, I could see my life past, present, future, plus every dream I have ever had or will have. I freaked out and became frantic thinking that I had died and I was shot back into my body but I was extremely disoriented and confused at that point. I don't know what the heck happened but I'm not going to try it again for a few days cuz I'm still a little shooken up. I'll keep ya posted.

edit: ive also been experimenting with vibrational chanting so I'm not sure how much the spray had to do with this

Would that light be sunyata? Om gate gate parasomgate bhodi svaha ;0P
If you are interested in essential oils and dream time then try out a book called the scented veil.

Also check out wikipedia "nootropics". There they talk about using rosemary & sage as food to enhance memory & congitive functioning. Consequently, not in above mentioned book are essential oils therapuetically employed to do the same.

Oh by the way I really enjoy peppermint for WILDing. Speaking of WILDing Im off to see the wizard! =0)

I dunno. It was definitely something lol.

Thanks sounds like a good book, ill look into it. Ya I gotta try using pure peppermint at wbtb, if nothing else its one of my favorite scents, so I will be happy.

Thanks, I will try the peppermint.

By the way I love your signature & the art =0)

Thanks. The sig is from Milerapa, tibets great yogi, my favorite book.
The art is alex grey. The cat moth avatar is my own creation.

Wow, that sounds amazing (freaky but amazing)

So glad you're still having success with it!

Awesome I just found peppermint, lemongrass and frankincense oils in my house! The only thing is the frankincense is with bergamot and 2 other things I can't remember. But anyway, I'll give em a try mixed together tonight in a little vaporiser thing for oils. Also you said in one of the first few posts that frankincense has been proven in studies to make you relaxed etc through increasing certain neurotransmitters, there has only been one study, and it was done by a company that produces frankincense incense and shit. So I'd be wary of stating that it does. But it's still worth a try I spose hey.

awesome, good luck.

ya i looked for references about the frankincense claim and it looks like the only ones i found so far are referring to the same study.

Yeah and he also says this, which astounds me how he could be so stupid, "Perhaps Marx wasn't too wrong when he called religion the opium of the people: morphine comes from poppies, cannabinoids from marijuana, and LSD from mushrooms; each of these has been used in one or another religious ceremony" LSD from mushrooms.... riiiiight.... *shakes head*

But still, it's worth a try, I'm gonna try and get pure frankincense. But I won't buy it from the guy who did that study just in case he was just promoting his products lol

Okay I tried peppermint, lemon grass, frankincense + bergamot and the other 2 combination I mentioned and rosemary which someone else in this thread said was good, and like 5 different species of lavender coz I didn't know which one was good. My room smelt pretty shitty.... haha
The lemongrass was definitely energising, I got a whiff of it as I poured the oil in and I instantly felt more awake, but only for a second.
I think it would be good with WBTB coz I don't think the scents lasted throughout the whole night. I'm gonna try lemon grass, frankincense combo thing I have. Since it has bergamot that should add in some relaxing properties, and the lemongrass should add in stimulating properties.

When I get pure frankincense i'll try that and report back too.

haha where did you read that part about lsd and shrooms.

ya I use my roomspray b4 bed and at WBTB, on nights I've missed using it at WBTB it still has effects but not as much. imo alot of essential oils smell bad when they aren't diluted and such. I am hooked on the smell of the dream roomspray, I spray it every night now just because I love it, it hasn't lost its effectiveness yet either.
