🌙 🧦 Dream Socks 🌿 🧚‍♀️

Sometimes you end up with one sock! Maybe your sweet little puppy ran off with your fresh laundry and left a half-eaten sock out on the lawn (yes, that happened). Or, maybe you wore your fave socks to the point a hole started in one. Waaaahhh! What to do?

Don’t throw them out (except the one that’s half-eaten … that can go away). With the remaining sock, consider making a ‘Dream Sock‘. You’ve heard of a ‘Dream Pillow’? Same idea.

Basically, you take the remaining clean sock, and stuff it with your favorite herbs, dream-enhancing crystals, stones, seeds, or what have you. Sew it up tight, and rest it neatly beside you on the pillow while you sleep. Or, you can place it inside the pillow case so it doesn’t roll off the bed.

*Make sure you only put dried herbs in the sock (no fresh ones), and that you and whomever rests with you is not allergic to the dried herbs. Also make sure your pet or young child doesn’t get hold of it in case the herbs you use are toxic or allergenic to them.

Here’s the collection I used in tonight’s dream sock creation:
1/2 – 1 cup mugwort (Artemesia)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon chamomile
1 teaspoon thyme
2 star anise
1 small amber

Properties:
mugwort / Artemesia – assists with lucid dreaming
bay leaf – supports pleasant dreams
chamomile – for restful sleep
thyme – eases depression, improves breathing
star anise – prevents nightmares
amber (fossilized) – promotes dreams, clarifies and releases unresolved issues, helps one see into the past, dispels detrimental energy.

Give it a try! If you make one, please comment below and share with us which herbs and stones, or other ingredients you chose and why. Love to hear about it.
May your dreams be insightful, bouyant, and fulfilling!
