There are many different techniques that can help you to achieve lucid dreaming, however one of the most underrated techniques is through the use of essential oils.
Since smells are processed in the brain’s limbic system, area associated with memory and emotion, some scents can invoke powerful emotions. And as our dreams are emotional realms, where we can express unresolved feelings from our waking life, anything that shapes our emotions, shapes our dreams.
In this sense, there are certain essential oils that have been repeatedly linked with improved dream recall and better sleep. One of them is precisely clove oil.
