THE BEST 20 ESSENTIAL OILS FOR LUCID DREAMING - Lucid Dream Society

1. What are essential oils and how do they work?

As mentioned, essential oils are used for thousands of years in various cultures.

They can be used for medicinal and health purposes.

The best part is that they are completely natural, cost-effective and very safe!

They have antidepressant properties, as well as detoxifying and antibacterial.

What is more, they can be used as stimulating different states, such as lucid dreaming!

Essential oils are very often used as aromatherapy, too.

For instance, if you inhale the aromas from essential oils, they can stimulate areas of your limbic system.

This is a part of your brain that plays a role in emotions, behaviors, sense of smell and long-term memory.

So, scent can invoke strong emotions, even unconsciously.

THE BEST 20 ESSENTIAL OILS FOR LUCID DREAMING - Lucid Dream Society
Interestingly, the limbic system is profoundly connected in regulating some unconscious physiological functions, too.
That includes breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.

What is more, certain scents are known for their benefits in improving:

  • dream recall
  • increasing visualization ability
  • repel nightmares
  • better sleep
  • vivid dreams

2. Benefits of essential oils

Provoke lucid dreams

Different smells can provoke different states and emotions.

One of the first lucid dream researcher – Marquis d’Hervey Saint-Denys created his own smell experiments, back in the 19th century.

Interestingly, he discovered for himself that specific smells could indirectly affect his dream content.

Furthermore, he concluded that smells were tied to emotions that are linked to specific locations and memories.

Then, in 2007, a study got comparable results.

A certain smell exhibited during deep sleep (slow wave sleep) prompted memories that formed earlier in the day, associated with the same smell. 

THE BEST 20 ESSENTIAL OILS FOR LUCID DREAMING - Lucid Dream Society
Then in 2008, another scientific research was done, on the same topic.

In the experiment, volunteers got 2 smells while sleeping – a rotten-egg and a smell of roses.

Participants reported having more positive dreams with the rose-smelling stimulus and more negative dreams with the egg-smelling one.

 

“When stimulating the subject with a positive smell, the emotional coloration was positive in nearly every case.

Whereas with negative stimulation, the emotional tone was shifted to negative.”

This study showed that even unconsciously, we process smells all the time.

It also suggests the idea to enhance your dream life through aromatherapy.

Further, in 2009, one more research showed that external stimuli presented during sleep can affect dream content. 

Promote deep and restful sleep

Researchers used lavender oil for a study which proved that the scent increased the percentage of deep sleep in the subjects.

The conclusion of the study was that lavender works as a:

  • mild sedative
  • promoting deep sleep
  • improving the quality of sleep, naturally!

Insomnia aid

Researchers found that some scents have a positive effect on sleep deprivation and disturbances. 

Smelling lavender showed a positive effect on sleep quality in this study. 

Essential oil from lavender also showed to increase the quality of sleep and reduced level of anxiety in the people from another study.

The majority of researches concluded that there is a positive effect of some essential oils on sleep.

By all means, lavender is one of the best sleeping remedies, as well as one of the most frequently studied essential oil.

One last evidence proposed that inhaling essential oils can be considered for people with mild sleep disturbances. 

Reduce stress and anxiety

Various studies tested the effects of aromatherapy on sleep quality, stress, and anxiety of patients. 

Some researches confirmed that it had a positive effect on reducing anxiety and increasing sleep.

Treatment with essential oils can significantly reduce negative emotions, feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression.

Several essential oils are reported to reduce anxiety. For instance lavender, orange, sandalwood, rose, bergamot, clary sage, and roman chamomile.

Enhance relaxation

Due to their calming and sedative effects, they are perfect relaxation aid!

The sense of smell starts from our nose and through tiny holes connects directly to the brain.

This sends signals, almost instantaneously to many parts of the brain, including the limbic system.

Hence, the oils could also have an impact in creating some chemicals in the brain that will make you feel good, such as serotonin.

Additionally, aromatherapy is an equivalent and alternative medicine practice.

The healing power of scents works towards balancing your mind, body, and spirit.

THE BEST 20 ESSENTIAL OILS FOR LUCID DREAMING - Lucid Dream Society

Improve brain function

Interestingly, they can also improve your cognitive performance!

Scientific researchers proved that some scents have strong antioxidants. They can naturally improve brain function and reduce inflammation.

Another thing is that some oils can improve learning, memory, and ability to focus.

Why this is important? 

Because it has the potential to help you with your reality checks, dream recall, and meditation!

Reduce toxicity

Another amazing use is a reduction of toxicity!

Nowadays, we are exposed to a number of chemicals and environmental toxins.

In some areas, such as the US, there is a high percentage in our tap water of synthetic fluoride.

Fluoride is a harmful toxin that effects on our pineal gland as well as numerous other organs of the body.

For instance, it is backed up with more than 50 studies, synthetic fluoride can reduce human intelligence. 

Luckily, aromatherapy promotes the detoxification of toxins that build up in the body!

The best scents for reducing toxicity include grapefruit, orange, lemon, lemongrass, cinnamon, peppermint and tea tree.

THE BEST 20 ESSENTIAL OILS FOR LUCID DREAMING - Lucid Dream Society

Boost your energy

Some essential oils can increase oxygen to your brain, which will result in feelings of refreshments, and energy.

For instance, peppermint oil can do that.

A study showed that the scent reduced exhaustion in athletes. Besides, it improved their performance levels!

Some other great essential oils for energy include grapefruit, lemon, lemongrass, and rosemary.

3. How to choose the right essential oils for YOU

Firstly, you should find PURE essential oil.

Beware! Some companies might claim that their products are ”pure” however, you should be careful.

Some of them might use additives or synthetic oils.

You should avoid oils that have been diluted with synthetic fragrances, chemicals or oils.

When getting essential oil to try to look for:

  1. Quality – find use pure plant compounds extracted by distillation or cold pressing.
    High-quality essential oils are changed the least by the extraction process. Look the label and choose a chemical-free essential oil.
  2. Purity – the pure oils normally list the plant’s botanical name. So instead of ”essential oil of lavender” try to look for – Lavandula officinalis

Furthermore, it really depends on the goal you have.

There are a number of different things that you might aim for, such as:

– get the ultimate rest
– to improve your memory
– to get better and more efficient deep sleep
– to feel more energized after sleep

4. Side effects and things to consider when using an essential oil

Even though they are generally safe, improper use may cause harm.

Furthermore, some can cause:

– irritation on your eyes, skin or the membranes in your nose
– mild allergic reactions
– asthma attacks
– headaches

While the most common side effect is a rash, essential oils can cause more serious reactions, if ingested at higher doses.

So, in order to prevent allergic reactions, always check the label and ask your doctor.

Also, before using any essential oil, try to put a very small amount on a part of your body.

See if it will cause any reactions the next 12-24 hours.

5. How to use them

The oils can be inhaled in several ways:

1) Diffusion

Thet can be used with a diffuser.

There are 2 options: either at full strength or diluted with water.

The diffuser allows the oils to evaporate, producing the scent in the air.

THE BEST 20 ESSENTIAL OILS FOR LUCID DREAMING - Lucid Dream Society

3) Diluted and then rubbed on the skin

Since essential oils are very concentrated, it is not the best idea to apply them directly to the skin.

Hence, you should always dilute all essential oils before applying to the skin, either in a fatty oil or in water.

4) Dry evaporation

Then, inhale the scent of the oil directly from the material for a more intense, immediate effect. You can even make your own DREAM PILLOW!

      Hi Sandy,

      As I wrote you on the e-mail a few days ago, I do not sell any essential oils and if you ordered through the links in this article, you should contact the seller which is Amazon.

      But as far as I remember, you said in your email that you didn’t order the essential oils from Amazon, but you found it through facebook. So, I recommend you to find the right place from where did you ordered, and to contact them instead!

      Best regards
