I need an herb that helps to make my dreams more visual and vivid. I smoke various herbs but I was hoping for something that I could sleep by or something and have that effect happen.
I've never used an herb to sleep by for more vivid dreams before. I honestly am a skeptic on how well it will work. But, I don't know how well it will work until I try it out, right?
I'm hoping it's something that's easily available as my money situation could be a lot better and Utah doesn't have much in the way of herbalist stores. Well, let me rephrase that. A Utah herbal store just has a bunch of weight loss drugs.
I smoke Damiana which speeds up your metabolism. I like green tea as well. I walk around a lot and have an active love life. If my metabolism is much faster I'll have to eat two large pizzas a day just to stay satisfied. My calories are practically gone as soon as they hit my body some days. I have actually sped my metabolism up to the point where I have had to purposely slow it down. It's freaking crazy what Damiana does to you after a while.
So it's quite aggravating. If anyone knows of any herbs that do this that can be ordered from the web or found in whole foods stores. Or even found in some tea so I can drink it before bed. Then that would be flat out totally completely awesome.
Anyhow, there is my basic problem. I live in a state that doesn't cater very much to witchcraft in general. Nope, we just get the major religion here with hands so deep in government that anti smoking laws get back doored without any real voting process. Which actually did happen recently. Like, a month ago.
Meh, could be worse. I could live in the bible belt. Don't get me wrong I'm not hating on anyone's religion. I just don't like the fanatics and the lack of separation between church and state.
And a lot of these herbs like blue lotus which is great for such a use should I add it into an extraction and do my thing to it. Well, the only way I can really get a hold of it is if I order it off the internet. Again, thank you Utah! *sarcasm*
So, the more common the herb the better. As well as, the cheaper the better.

Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs lists these herbs for visions; angelica, coltsfoot, crocus, damiana and kava-kava. Crocus is a very common spring flower and you can probably find them in the garden centers in early spring, or the bulbs all summer. Crocus:
Gender: feminine
Planet: venus
Element: water
Powers: love, viions
Magical uses:
The plant when grown attracts love. You can burn it.
A separate list for prophetic dreams; bracken, buchu, cinquefoil, heliotrope, jasmine, marigold, mimosa, mugwort, onion, and rose. Mimosa is also known as a "silk tree." I would suggest eating the onion rather than burning it. ^^; Perhaps cook up something with onions with the intent of inducing dreams. Many flowers are edible and make great additions to soups and salads. I like violets. This site my be useful to you: http://whatscookingamerica.net/EdibleFlowers/EdibleFlowersMain.htmI recommend you get a copy of this book, if you haven't already. Amazon.com has it at a reasonable price. Also, he has many other fantastic resource books. The back of each book has resource listings of stores or websites you can get supplies from.

You're welcome. How do you make it? I'm interested in the metabolism boosting properties you mentioned.

For some tea blends, I've tried these and they work pretty well. ^-^
Passion Flower steep the leaves and or the flower. Specially of the native kind
Passiflora incarnata or yellow passion flower. Many of the South American species grown too, but you may want to double check.
Wild Lettuce is a well-known dreaming aid.Where I live there is a commonly found wild lettuce - Lactuca canadensis which is in most of North America, it's not as potent as lactuca virosa which is commonly sold as a dream aid.
This website has a blend I've tried out before. It's better as a smoking blend, the tea is a bit strong- it diffidently wasn't put together for a good tasting tea, but for the properties of the different herbs.
