i've been drinking mugwort for some days and i wondered what it does. it does a lot. i don't know if i've been having more dreams but i know the dreams are inundated by corona. the day is like a daymare and the night is for working out the day. the native chumash people call it dream sage, they've been using it for 13,000 years for general health and good dreams.
i have remembered several dreams but lately there's a flood and i wake up feeling like i worked all night. this work is undone for sure, and i wonder what done would feel like. as long as the virus and neoliberalism spread we're going to have daymares and hard dreams. but i reckon hard dreams are good dreams too. if we can't work this horror out in daylight we may only stay relatively sane by dreaming. who knows how dreams influence the dreamer awake.
mugwort is also used to keep away evil spirits and the spirits of disease.
