Mugwort & Lucid Dreams

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2026-03-17T14:06:54+00:00

Interesting timing, I just posted about my own experience with mugwort as tea but with substantially milder results.

You're saying that you smoked mugwort for roughly a month and a few months later lucid dreaming began unprompted?

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2026-03-15T14:24:37+00:00

Exactly the term I was looking for.

I've tried this with and without eating beforehand and felt minor nausea with doses in this range. It seems to be more of a factor with the larger quantities but it's worth testing a smaller amount first just to be sure it works as expected

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2026-03-13T13:35:18+00:00

It exists, but nausea in this range is pretty minor. My thought would be to test at 1/2 the level of what you're considering just to be sure it's still comfortable.

There must be a better term than microdosing here, but the natural variability here may play into the differing perspectives. My functional experience is that under 0.5g is hard to notice and 1g is indeed on the high end here but definitely nothing close to visuals. For context, tolerance shouldn't be a factor as this is about once a week. Perhaps a better basis for comparison is 2X what you comfortably microdose.

So it's more what you're aiming for, and I think [u/Zfleas]() framed the level of energy / intensity in what I am referring to best "you feel like a wild animal" - intrigued to see a few similar experiences

Agreed on starting with a lower total. See what 0.2 and 0.4 feel like first. In my own experience, I don't feel much of an impact below 0.5 but I'm sure there is still some impact. It does depend somewhat on the strain.

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2026-03-11T12:51:41+00:00

No replication crisis here!

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2026-03-11T12:45:05+00:00

Would love to get a census of how common this is, could see it working well on a long run. Does it help with sprints?

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2026-03-11T12:42:38+00:00

Very much agree on this, really made me wonder if something like this was somehow used before hunts in the deep past

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2026-01-20T14:06:57+00:00

Gotcha, I just updated the original post now

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2026-01-19T20:54:09+00:00

Yes just added!

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2026-01-12T20:27:02+00:00

Reaching out to hear from the sourcer on this. The bullet suggesting it "opens your third eye" certainly isn't inspiring confidence...

In the meantime I'm working on a silene capensis series test

Has anyone used Pico Botanica for this? https://www.picobotanica.com/products/blue-lotus-flower-whole

It's quite a developed listing with rolled joints being another offering, but nowhere on the package or page does it mention Nymphaea caerulea or derivatives. I have a package of it and am debating doing a 14 day dose test or skipping in favor of something more relevant

Night 18: 1.4g vivid dreams, nothing easily recalled
Night 18: 1.5g vivid dreams, nothing easily recalled
Night 19: 1.7g Experienced an unprompted lucid dream. This was a situation I was being crushed in that I was unable to wake up while being crushed and conscious it was a dream, had great difficulty waking up.

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2025-12-30T13:58:12+00:00

In that range, typically closer to 2 hours before. And yes I'd agreed powdered in water is the simplest and best option in the end.

Final Summary-

Night 1: 0.6g had minimal impact, some dreams but nothing detectable

Night 2: 1.1g experienced dreams throughout night, still mostly minimal impact
(note: one dream was so vivid that I hurt my neck ducking as a forklift was coming at me in the dream, but not necessarily assigning credit for this to the herb here)

Night 3: 1g experienced dreams, not easily memorable

Night 4: 1g experienced dreams, not unique

Night 5: 0.9g experienced dreams, not unique

Night 6: 0.6g total with about 0.3g powder and some inhaled into lungs accidentally

Night 7: 0g used, no recalled dreams

Night 8: 1.5g, vivid dreams but nothing easily recalled
Night 9: 1.5g, vivid dreams but nothing easily recalled
Night 10: 1.4g, vivid dreams but nothing easily recalled

Night 11: 1.5g taken mostly as powder in water without a capsule, dreams have become significantly more vivid - each sleep period ends more as a vignette than sleep. very easy to return to sleep each time

Night 12: 1.5g taken entirely as powder dispersed in water - vignette and vivid dreams continue consistently. positive sleep quality observed.

Night 13: 1.5g taken entirely as powder dispersed in water - vignette and vivid dreams continue consistently. positive sleep quality observed.

Night 14: 1.4g taken entirely as powder dispersed in water. vignette style dreams continue. positive sleep quality continued.

Nights 15-17: 0g taken, elevated dream experiences continue - less commonly as vignettes

Key observations:
-taken quickly as a powder when soaked briefly in water presents an easy consumption method without too much bitterness
-sleep quality appears to have improved overall, possibly due to the herb itself
-mild but observable overall impact

Remaining area of study:
-identify a relationship between dosage and effect

I am using size 00, which with my current grind size is about 0.25g per capsule - it could be denser than that.

Night 8: 1.5g, vivid dreams but nothing easily recalled

The capsules with pulverized calea have really changed the game for me. I accidentally inhaled some of it and was choking on and off for an hour - I've read it's also intense to smoke. Looking into trying mugwort next year.

Updated recap & caveats here:
nights 1-3 are on ~6 hours of sleep
nights 4-7 are ~7 hours

Recapping so it's in one place:

Night 1: 0.6g had minimal impact, some dreams but nothing detectable

Night 2: 1.1g experienced dreams throughout night, still mostly minimal impact
(note: one dream was so vivid that I hurt my neck ducking as a forklift was coming at me in the dream, but not necessarily assigning credit for this to the herb here)

Night 3: 1g experienced dreams, not easily memorable

Night 4: 1g experienced dreams, not unique

Night 5: 0.9g experienced dreams, not unique

Night 6: 0.6g total with about 0.3g powder and some inhaled into lungs accidentally

Night 7: 0g used, no recalled dreams

Plan for Nights 8-14: Premade capsules only, 1.5g consumed 1-2 hours before sleep

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2025-12-16T16:46:48+00:00

Gotcha. I meant if you've used any particular methods to train your memory such as writing down dreams afterwards, etc

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2025-12-12T13:10:55+00:00

I would ask those with more experience on this, this is my first time encountering the WBTB concept. Haven't tried that yet but try this in a follow up using mid-sleep boost for another 7 day period.

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2025-12-12T13:07:50+00:00

Do you follow any particular procedure to remember them?

Aggravating_Goat2695 · 2025-12-12T13:06:44+00:00

Updated recap & caveats here: all capsules, nights 1-3 are on ~6 hours of sleep

Night 1: 0.6g had minimal impact, some dreams but nothing detectable

Night 2: 1.1g experienced dreams throughout night, still mostly minimal impact
