Entada rheedii
Across parts of Africa, African Dream Bean has been associated with traditional practices surrounding dreaming, divination and the unseen world. Today, African Dream Bean is perhaps best known for its relationship with vivid dreaming and dream recall, carrying a reputation as a plant for those wishing to cultivate a more conscious relationship with the dream state.
It is a plant that belongs naturally at the threshold - between waking and sleeping, conscious and unconscious, the known and the unseen.
African Dream Bean invites us into the language of dreams.
Its character feels deep, nocturnal and inward-facing. A plant traditionally approached not simply for sleep, but for what may be encountered when ordinary waking consciousness becomes quiet.
Working with this plant is an invitation to pay closer attention to dreams, symbols, recurring imagery and the subtle material that emerges from beneath conscious awareness.
Keep a journal close, some plants speak quietly.
Within our planetary herbal framework, we associate African Dream Bean with the Moon - ruler of dreams, intuition, memory, the subconscious and the hidden rhythms of our inner world.
The Moon governs thresholds and cycles: waking and sleeping, light and darkness, conscious and unconscious.
As a plant so intimately associated with dreaming and the exploration of inner landscapes, African Dream Bean carries a naturally Lunar character.
Our African Dream Bean preparation is created as a companion for intentional plant work, dream practice and personal ritual.
It may be incorporated into evening meditation, dreamwork, journaling or periods devoted to exploring the symbolic and subconscious landscape.
Before sleep, create a quiet transition away from the activity of the day. Set an intention without demanding a particular experience. Keep a journal beside the bed and record dreams, fragments, emotions or imagery as soon as you wake.
Approach slowly.
Listen deeply.
Take 5-10 drops directly under the tongue.
For dream practice, take your preparation in the evening and allow the period before sleep to become part of the ritual. Reduce distraction, create stillness and establish an intention for the night ahead.
Dreamwork is often cumulative. Pay attention not only to vivid dreams, but to recurring symbols, feelings and subtle changes in dream recall over time.
Ingredients: Organic dried Entada rheedii, alcohol, raw honey.
Teacher Plants is a collection devoted to plants that have held significant relationships with people across traditional, ceremonial and spiritual plant practices.
Each preparation invites a slower way of working with plants. One grounded in curiosity, reverence and relationship.
Not simply to consume the plant.
To meet it.
Our Teacher Plant preparations are slow crafted in very limited batches, allowing each plant the time and attention its preparation requires.
Availability will naturally vary throughout the year. If this preparation is currently sold out, please reach out to us via email to enquire about the next batch.
