1st attempt at my own 'dream tea'

SSoo, I looked around best I could to figure what I could easily attain that is commonly used in these 'dream blends' I've heard about. I had been looking around for mugwort for quite a while, and noticed some today at a nearby store, 80 cents a bag! I grabbed a few, a little sage, and some rosehips. [not for dreaming, but have seen they are useful for extra vitamin c and hair growth, and that's always nice.]  


 I found a bag of un-caffeinated peach tea my mom must have purchased~so for my first mix, thew a bit of that in a bag, along with 1/4 ounce mugwart and a pinch of sage for the extra aroma & flavor. It's pretty bitter underneath the peachyness, but the smell makes it much more enjoyable. It is still good enough for my taste to not need sugar to tone it down, ;) so I'm happy with the flavor overall. I believe next time, I'll use half the amount of mugwart. After I recycle what is in my linen bag a couple more times ;) My dreams have been getting much more clear for me to remember, and I hope that with this to aid with relaxation and subconscious thoughts and such, I will be more lucid or at least more active in my sleep world. I am a little disappointed in myself for not recording dreams as of late, so I will try my best to find time after waking to write here.
Yay!
