Sweet Dreams Are Made of This: Lavender Aromatherapy

Dream Mist Potion

My Aunt Edith, who introduced me to the wonders of witchcraft, had a linen closet that always smelled sweetly of lavender. I remember breathing in the smell and immediately feeling comforted. Sleeping on crisp, clean, herb-scented sheets always made for the soundest sleep and delicious dreams. (Little did I know at the time, lavender is also a moth repellent and an adaptagen, adjusting to satisfy your own energy needs.) Here is a potion for dreamers:

4 drops lavender oil
3 drops chamomile oil
3 drops orange oil
4 ounces distilled spring water

Shake the oils and water in a colored-glass spray bottle or mister.


Fifteen minutes before you retire, spray your bed linens, bath towel, pillow, and all around your room. You may want to keep a dream journal by your bed to record what happens during the night.
