The Next Oneironauticum is Saturday, September 27
The next Oneironauticum, is next Saturday September 27. For this session, we’ll work with olfactory oneirogens (dream inducing substances). Folk remedies have long included herb stuffed pillows, used for curing headaches, colds, and other minor ailments. From this tradition, we also get the dream pillow, filled with flowers and herbs that hold a scent known to promote vivid dreams. As many variations exist on these pillows as there were grandmothers making them, but the most frequently used oneirogens include lavender, rose, mugwort, and chamomile.
Before sleeping, we’ll make our own dream pillows using fresh herbs and essential oils to whatever proportion most suits each of us. As always, remote participation is welcomed. To participate remotely in the Oneironauticum, make your own pillow at home, or dab a scent onto something to be placed on your pillow. You may also, as always, participate by simply going to sleep with the intention to join us in our group dreaming experience. Anyone who participates, either in person or remotely, is welcome to post their dream experiences to this site. Contact us if you’re interested.
