Origin & Lore
Lucid Dream is a modern ritual candle built on lavender, a herb long linked with calm, sleep and sweet dreams in European folk use. It is lit in the bedroom before sleep as part of a nightly practice of dream recall, dream work and attempts at lucidity.
A lucid dream is one in which you realise you are dreaming and stay there. A Dutch writer gave the experience its name more than a century ago.
The Dutch psychiatrist and writer Frederik van Eeden coined the term lucid dream in a 1913 paper describing his own dreams. Tibetan Buddhism has a far older discipline of dream yoga, in which practitioners train to recognise the dream state as a path of meditation. Nicholas Culpeper placed lavender under Mercury.
Did You Know?
In 1975 the British researcher Keith Hearne recorded the first signals sent by a lucid dreamer from inside a dream, using agreed eye movements picked up in a sleep laboratory.
