Lavender Oil & a Strange Dream

Had a restful day Monday watching features about my favorite saint - Francis of Assisi. 'twas his feast day.
The more I watch about the reluctant saint, the more I feel ill equipped in my goal of reaching heaven. Realized that the notion I had of doing more for a fellow man isn't enough. Francis actually showed that the calling of our Lord Jesus to follow Him meant the Cross. 'Follow Me' means dying more each day.
Such was the state of mind and being that I went to bed last night. Splashed a little lavender oil on my night shirt and off to deep slumber,
Strange dream about finding my self in an activity where the participants, without knowing, were probably hypnotized into doing an exercise, as if a strange zombie is after us. Two of my high school mates were with me. At the end of the exercise, each participant was asked to pay a hundred pesos for exercise. We were duped.
Woke up and pondered about the nightmare. A little frightening. Hmmm. Must be the lavender oil.
So, I held my yellow Rosary and prayed the Joyful Mystery. I felt better.

You were in deep sleep, definitely it's the lavender oil. That's what I put in my diffuser when I can hardly sleep especially during my Covid days.

Thanks for that info. Though am wary if a nightmare is a side effect.
Howdy?

@eileenleyva that nightmare could be the.effect of your overthinking and the feeling of still unable to help much. I am doing good physically after covid days but noticed more hair fall, an beginning to worry.

@florelway Had another dream last night about a schoolmate finally getting pregnant. I was suggesting names for a baby girl. I think the three medicine droppers of lavender oil made me have a good dream this time.
Saw in the news the severity of the CoViD in your city. Don't risk going out.
Hair fall up to a hundred strands a day is normal, I think. Don't worry much. It's natural.

Poured three drops of lavender oil the following night and I had a better dream. Last night, I forgot to use the oil and I had no dream. Hmmmm. The lavender oil does have some effect on me dreaming.

@RebeccasFarm I do think so. I will splash some lavender oil again tonight and see if I dream again.

The lavender oil I used is from London. So fragrant. Pretty effective.
