Dreams. They’ve played a role in the way that humans think, feel, and believe for eons. For some, they may be an escape from the stress of the real world. For others, they could be a look at your subconscious desires. They’ve even been credited with being a kind of fortune telling method. And while science is still working hard to uncover all of the truths about dreams – what they are, why they occur, and more – the fact is that many want to harness them and enjoy them for various purposes.
That’s the goal of lucid dreaming. This is just what it sounds like – dreaming in a way that is crystal clear, highly lucid, and easy to understand and remember. Waking from a lucid dream is often like waking from another reality, and it can provide a way to impact your emotions, your thoughts, and your health as a whole.
Additionally, mastering lucid dreaming could even help dreamers gain some measure of control over their dreams, letting them create an escape from the world that they can let themselves become enveloped in. No matter your reasons for wanting to have more lucid dreams, the fact is that some essential oils offer a very real way to do just that.
Using essential oils makes a tremendous amount of sense. After all, the brain processes input in different ways, and different things that trigger brain functionality can then, in turn, trigger other aspects of the brain’s performance. Since scents are processed within the limbic system of the brain, and because memory and emotion are both connected to this system, it makes sense that aromatherapy could impact dreaming in a significant way.
To use essential oils to improve and promote lucid dreaming, there are a few options. Each of them focuses on promoting the aromatherapy effects of the oils in different ways. Here the ways to use essential oils effectively for lucid dreaming.
As for the type of essential oil to use to promote lucid dreaming, you’ll have several options to choose from as well. The ideal choices will help calm the body while stimulating the subconscious, and also help promote a more restful, deeper sleep. Here are three of the best essential oils to consider using.
Each of these oils can be used on their own, but can also be blended with each other or other oils to create a perfect nighttime cocktail of essential oils. No matter what option you choose, the oils can help you achieve the sleep and the dreams that you deserve.

I’ve been using lavender for sleeping. It works!!!
Rose oil is so nice with the sandalwood. So nice to diffuse at night or anytime to stay calm. Didn’t know it could help dream state. That’s great to know.
Very interesting! I personally prefer skin therapy with lotions or oils!
I use lavender in my diffuser every night for better sleep, but I didn’t know that sandalwood is helpful for relaxation and meditation! I’ll add a few drops tonight!
Will this add more action to an already active mind?

What a lovely combination! Diffusing at night has really helped me to get to sleep and if/when I wake up in mid sleep, I am able to go back to sleep right away. What a welcome change that is!
Very fascinating information here!
I think I would prefer the sandalwood to help me drift off happily
