How to Make a Dream Pillow With Dried Herbs
Dream pillows are used for inducing sleep and vivid dreams. They are easy to make with little effort since herbal shops and also regular stores sell dried herb with fixatives already mixed as a potpourri. Once you make your dream pillow slip it into your pillow case or underneath your regular pillow. The subtle scents that emanate from your small dream pillow will aid in better sleep and more lucid dreams.
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Thread
- Needle
- 2, 5-inch square pieces of fabric (any design)
- Dried herbs: Lavender, chamomile and Valerian root
- Ground cinnamon bark
- 1
Thread your needle and place the fabric squares together so that the fabric looks inside out. Sew three sides of the squares with simple row stitches.

Once the three sides of the fabric squares are sewn flip the fabric so that it is right side out. This should hide the stitches that you have made yet also leave one side open to be filled with the dried herbs.

Mix your dried herbs of lavender, chamomile and Valerian root together with the ground cinnamon bark fixative. The cinnamon bark fixative is used to keep the dried herb scents from diminishing. Without a fixative the herbs scents will fade away.

Fill up the dream pillow with the dried herb mixture. Leave a 1/2-inch open at the top so you can sew the dream pillow closed. Fold this top area over and sew together with simple row stitches again.
- 5
Place your dream pillow inside your normal pillow case with your pillow or place it underneath your normal pillow. When you go to sleep at night and move around the dried herbs will get crushed releasing a subtle scent into the air. This scent will help promote a deeper sleep and also add to the lucidity of your dreams.
