I am now very intrigued. I was wondering if the effect of burning this herb wears off after a while? Does your body build some kind of tolerance? I'm reading in the comments here about the cumulative effects of burning the herb. Please share some thoughts about nightly long-term use of mugwort. Thanks!

Yikes! Yeah, maybe starting with mugwort as potpourri or incense is the way to go! Not all plants affect people the same. Mugwort is full of the chemicals that made absinthe famous (but in smaller concentration), so it's good to respect this and all herbs you experiment with. thanks for sharing your mugwort report, Sarah.

As for mugwort i brewed a teaspoon of it and drunk it one at WBTB and one before bed on two seperate instances and had extremely hard time falling to sleep and when i did there was no dream recall the next day...I had really high hopes with these products as i only had one semi lucid dream in 7 months , i am losing motivation fast...

Making tea is ok not anything like Calea. It seems though that there must be different strains of the plant. One is more oily than the other. The more oily one is also a little lighter in color. The other is darker and more bitter, but not bad bitter like calea. I have bought it from different sources over the past few months. The oily one doesn't seem to do much of anything. I got some from a friend when I first tried it, nothing happened. I bought some online to try from a different source, still nothing happened. I noticed they were mild tasting when brewed as tea, and read a post somewhere saying the oily one doesn't do anything. So I tried from yet another source, it was darker and made for a stronger tea, about three times as strong as the prior two. This one worked, I had more dreams and could also recall them . I have just bought some more, trying some tonight. It happens to be the milder one, I will give it another try and post results later.

Mugwort is NOT good for drinking, it has such an intense taste that a dried leaf or two is so intense it's undrinkable. Smoked however, it's very similar to menthol. I smoke it mixed with tobacco throughout the day and it has an accumulative effect on my dreaming. If you don't smoke, I'd suggest using it as incense. It just isn't good as a tea, and it's so lovely when burned that it seems to me to have an innate use that way. My dreams are clearer, I can see (visually) more, the colors are more intense, peoples faces are MUCH clearer. I can hear people's words more clearly and I remember it all when I wake up. My dreams also don't slip from my head at all. I can remember them like I do any other waking memory. I don't really have to write things down anymore. Love the site.

In the meantime,the last couple of evenings I've made a cup of celestial seasonings tea(green and white decaf) and added nutmeg. Both nights I experienced vivid dreams and I remembered much of them. I realize now I had a lucid dream the first night. I was trying to get away from someone and I realized since I was dreaming I could simply fly away. With that thought I actually began to fly and I could control how high etc. Then I kind of forgot I was dreaming and got all involved in the rest of the dream. The tea taste very good if you sweeten it a bit-I use stevia myself. I’ve decided to give mugwart a try so I just ordered some.

DMT has recently been correlated with lucid dreaming -- at least DMT in ayahuasca -- as they both cause brain synchronization effects on the 40 hz bandwidth. Here's more info about DMT (an article I wrote for livestrong) http://www.livestrong.com/article/118820-psychological-side-effects-dmt-ingestion/ cool to hear about the calea Z success! lucid and vivid. that stuff is so bitter – can’t recommend it as a tea.

I've been reading about dimethytryptamine (DMT) the past couple months and it really changes how I look at my dreams now. I recommend you all atleast search for it and get an idea of what it is. Sorry I had nothing to contribute on the mugwort topic. I smoked calea z last night and had three dreams. The second one was a lucid dream. The third was very detailed.
