†Hamlet, by William Shakespeare
Dream Pillows and Sachets: Lavender is commonly placed in pillows or sachets to promote restful sleep and encourage dream recall. In spiritual practices, it’s believed that lavender can enhance dream work and facilitate messages from the divine or subconscious mind.
While I dillydally in my spring garden
I smell the lavender before noticing the buds
Dusk in a symphony of lavender hues
Summer can wait; so can my coronation
Lavender’s blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are King, dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen
Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so
I pick a sprig to put into my pillowcase
To sleep, per chance to dream
A chance to see you again
Healthy, vital
My childhood friend and confidant … my king
The man I fell in love with
Before Life intervened
My thoughts melt into the lingering dusk …
