The Next Oneironauticum is Saturday, November 15
Friday, November 14, 2008
Our oneirogen for the November Oneironauticum will be garlic. Very little literature exists about the effects of garlic on dreams, and what there is sometimes connects garlic with nightmares. Two original core Oneironauticum members (visionary artist Vibrata Chromdoris and permaculture landscaper David Shamanik) report consistent strong, positive dream experiences brought about by ingestion of garlic.
A couple hours before bed, we'll eat a light but very garlic heavy meal of Caesar salad and garlic bread. Afterward, we'll chew parsley or eat mints (both counteractive to garlic breath). As always, remote participation is welcomed. To participate remotely in the Oneironauticum, enjoy a pre-bed snack that makes ample use of garlic. Try not to eat heavily, as large meals before bed often impede sleep. 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.
Sweet Dreams
