Lucid Dream Tea

• 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons dried mugwort
• Tea strainer
• Mug
  
• Journal or writing paper

Instructions:
Before the ritual, make a cup of hot mugwort tea.
Steep for 8 to 10 minutes as you get ready for bed, then strain out the
mugwort.
Place the journal or paper (and pen) where you are able to write if you wake
in the middle of the night, or once you wake in the morning.
When you are ready for bed, begin the ritual.
As you sit in bed, begin to take deep relaxing breaths.
Sip your mugwort tea as you focus your intention for your dreams. Are you
looking for a solution to a problem, to gain more information, or a deeper
understanding of an issue or situation in your life? It’s important to focus
your energy on a single intent in order to get a clear message in your dreams.
When you’re clear on your intention, say the following (or similar) words:
“I openly welcome all opportunities to gain wisdom in the dream world.”
Once you have finished your tea, quietly curl into bed and fall asleep.
When you wake, write down anything you can remember from your dream—
especially the appearance of any numbers, names, animals, or anything else
that seems unusual and significant.
Keep these notes and refer back to them over the coming days and weeks.
