2009.0. "need testers for dream balm" by BRAT::MACDONALD_M (The Tincture Tree) Tue Nov 08 1994 17:58

    
    For one of my courses I have to make a variety of herbal products.
    One of the things I've made is a herbal dream balm and oil.  I've
    given much of it away and am still looking for a few "guinea pigs" 
    who would be willing to use the product for a while and give me some
    feedback.  I'll provide the product, and pay for shipping if you're
    willing to give feedback on your experiences.  
    
    Send me mail (MKOTS4::MACDONALD_M) and specify oil or balm.  First 
    four people to respond will receive their sample.
    
    Products are all natural ingredients: hops, chamomile, roses, mugwort,
    lavender, rosemary, almond oil, olive oil, beeswax and vit. E. 
    Use is for stimulating dreams, apply to temples, pulse points. 
    External use only.

2009.3no joke, but for entertainment onlyABACUS::MACDONALD_MThe Tincture TreeWed Nov 09 1994 17:1115
    
    Nope, no joke. It's part of my homework from a course I'm taking.  I've
    used both the balm and the oil and have had feedback from others
    ranging from 'no dreams/difference at all' to 'it was too much for me'.
    I did not create this formula, it is the one I use for making dream
    pillows.  Many herbal catalogs, and stores offer both dream pillows and
    dream balms though the formulas are all different.  I've not seen any
    dream oils for sale. 
    
    Disclaimer:  This product is not designed to replace medical or
    psychological therapy, nor should it be used in the hopes of solving
    emotional issues.  It is simply something I've made for fun and should
    be used as such.  I am not responsible for any negative dreams/effects.

2009.5Mugwort Power!PKHUB1::MROPRTWed Nov 16 1994 09:3410
    Mugwort seems to be the activating ingredient! Tried it last Saturday
    night and had a very intense dream! Hard to remember, but it involved
    the old trying to run uphill and your legs seem too heavy to lift!
    Woke up drenched in sweat! I think mugwort is strickly for weekends!
    
    P.S. New to this file! Monitoring has been a blast! I was wondering
    where all the seekers were at DEC.

    Thanks, Cindy
    
    One thing I wonder about is are people's imaginations, thoughts, urges
    to understand the universe etc related to our left brain, right brain
    orientations.  If this is so, does left handedness indicate a
    predispositioning toward challenging norms?

    >If this is so, does left handedness indicate a predispositioning
    >toward challenging norms?
     
    No, being left handed is merely sinister.

2009.9WMOIS::CONNELLI will do thee mischief in the wood.Mon Nov 21 1994 19:2026
    Well, i've tried the product for the last several nights. Although I
    haven't had any of the extremely interesting dreams that I've had in
    the past (yet :-) ), my dreams have been a bit more realisitic then
    usual. hhhmmmm Perhaps realistic isn't the right word. My dreams are
    usually real seeming, but these were a bit more then most. As with most
    of my dreams, they fade in the morning and I can't remember much of
    what went on. I expect this to change. I placed the oil on the pulse
    points of my wrists and on my temples too. I also placed some of it on
    my chakra points. This didn't prompt anything spectacular until last
    night. I just placed some on the above mentioned pulse and temple
    points. However, this time instead of all 7 chakra points, I only used
    the crown and the heart chakras. I also noted the the full moon began
    waining last night. She is releasing her energy back to the Earth as
    she fades through this cycle. 
    
    While the dreams weren't anything more intense, prior to falling
    asleep, with my eyes shut and total pitch blackness in the room,
    continuous swirling and flashing points of white light were visible to
    me. I've had this effect before, but not while conciously trying to
    cause a reaction. Hopefully this will continue and the dreams will
    become spectacular as time moves on. I need a good spectacular dream
    lately. (Not wet dream either folks, so no cracks :-)  ) 
    
    Bright Blessings,

2009.10have patience!!ABACUS::MACDONALD_MThe Tincture TreeWed Nov 23 1994 19:0212
    
    I apologize for the time it's taken me to get some of these out!  The
    last of the samples will be in the mail on Friday (11/25)  If you get 
    duplicates pass one on!  Somewhere along the way things got a little
    confusing for me... I had so many responses.
    
    Also...if you're planning on replying with feed back over the system, 
    please hold off till Dec. 5 as I'll be out for the next week.
    
    Thanks!

2009.11How do they work?ROMEOS::TREBILCOT_ELMon Nov 28 1994 23:4312
    Maybe this is appropriate for another topic...but I was recently in
    Arizona and saw, for the first time, a dream pillow.  I sniffed it,
    smelled like a satchet.  Anyway, before this particular note I'd never
    heard of such a thing.  I was wondering.  Do they really work.  And
    on what premise?
    
    The olfactory lobes do go into the sleep state, although they are the
    last part of the body to shut down and the first to wake up.  
    
    curious...
    
    
2009.12Dream Pillows are Wonderful!ABACUS::MACDONALD_MThe Tincture TreeMon Dec 05 1994 14:019
    The first time I made one, I had a hard time sleeping with it as I'm quite 
    sensitive to strong smells but once I got used to it I find I have
    a difficult time sleeping without one.  I use Rosemary Gladstar's
    recipe and just love it!  One word of caution though, don't keep one in
    your car as it will tend to cause drowsiness.  
    
    Contact me off line if you'd like more info.

    So there is truth to those coffee commercials after all!
