Herbalism is a cornerstone for dream working and can be used in your craft, as well as in cooking.
Certain herbal properties when ingested, can help you recall dreams, sleep more peacefully, or dive deeper.

Dream Tea

1 teaspoon Chamomile
2 teaspoons Rose petals
1 teaspoon Peppermint
1 teaspoon Mugwort
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
Mix the ingredients well. Sweetened with honey, if desired.
Use one teaspoon of mixture for every cup of boiling water.

As the tea steeps, chant:
Tea of vision, dreaming tea
As I sip you, bring to me
An altered state conducive to psychic dreams.
And when I'm through rock me gently into sleep
And bring the answers that I need


Drink the tea 30 minutes before going to bed.
Store the dry tea in a plastic bag with a zipper closure or in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Brujadas Guide to Astral Projection

This takes a lot of practice so if you don’t get it on the first try, don’t be discouraged.
Practice lots and be safe!
Warning: do not do this if pregnant

What you will need:

a bed
a thin blanket (optional)
mugwort (dried)
mug and water
an hour of your time

Instructions
1. Turn off your phone
If you are on your phone in bed before sleep, it reduces the lucidity in your dreams needed for astral projection.
2. Fill a pot with 2 spoonfuls of dried mugwort, fill the pot with one and a half cups of hot water
allow to boil, once boiled, cover with a lid, and turn down the heat.
After 5 minutes of sitting on medium heat, turn off and pour into a cup (strained if you want).
3. Go into your room or wherever you plan on doing this and turn off all lights, make sure no one can distract you.
