So somewhere long ago I read that Mugwort gives you strange dreams if you drink it. The other night I was wanting some tea with my K.J. Bishop's Etched City Dream and I dragged out a tin of Mugwort tea. I thought, well, now is as good as any to try it out.
(I used to do a fair amount of experimenting with natural remedies and herbs (not what you think!). In fact, I used to make lots of disgusting tinctures that were quite potent. I would take a brown bottle with me to parties and dare people to take shots of dirty sock tasting liquid with me. They would always get a relaxing surprise. Valerian and Kava were my favorites to bring around.)
So anyway, back to the tea. I brewed up a cup, added a slug of Agave nectar to sweeten it up (although it was quite delightful with spearmint, skullcap and chamomile in the mix) and sipped away into the night. I went to bed and was a bit disappointed in the morning.
The next evening however more than made up for it. I can not explain the strangeness of the dreams - they would not make sense to you anyway, dear reader. Vivid and intense like this real daily world. I've never woken up myself silently screaming from asphyxiation. I guess I really do feel that passionately about that.
Anyway it was cool. I'm going to continue drinking it and seeing where my night adventures take me. I think I'll brew a cup now.
