On the first night of the full moon, combine Mugwort, Patchouli, Cedar shavings, Oak Moss, ground Cardamom  and Lavender.  Lace them with oil of Patchouli, Wisteria, Lemon Grass and Sandalwood. 

Pour the mixture in a glass jar or bowl along with a small cleansed crystal  and cover it. The jar should be set outside where it can catch the moon's rays.  Be sure to bring it in again before the sun comes up. Do this for 3 nights in a row.  

Use the mixture (crystal included) to stuff a small pillow case made of muslin. This can then be inserted into a cover made of black, deep blue or purple velvet.  Trim the pillow with fringe or tassels, or embroider a pentagram, crescent moon, small stars or runes on it.

Place this pillow next to you on a night when you wish to have a psychic dream. Be sure to keep a journal and pen next to your bed, along with a flashlight, candle or oil lamp so you can record the visions that will come.

Mugwort is known & used as a dream activator in sleep and by Shamans for Journeying and other trance work. Mugwort calms the conscious mind and awakens the deep consciousness, inviting vivid, lucid dreams and dream of flying. However, it may also cause "nightmares", or at least dreams that are challenging to experience and understand, and therefore it is not recommended for children. Mugwort supposedly will enhance and help the individual to develop at whatever level of dreaming the person it at, which is why students of dreaming use it to help learn to be conscious while dreaming . More advanced dreamers can learn to actively manipulate dreams, as well as use dreaming as a road to precognitive dreaming, the act of using dreams as a path to the revelation of future events .
