Daydream Draught

**Daydream Draught** is a potion that can temporarily put someone into a state of sleep, though if brewed incorrectly it may lead to insomnia instead. Other side-effects include lucid dreaming, being able to see auras after waking up and unexpected romantic feelings. The potion itself has a luminescent, iridescent appearance and shimmers in either gold or silver, depending on how the light hits it. It also has a light, calming scent and a pleasant floral taste.

## History

The potion was invented by Dwight Elizon when he attempted to help Victoire Reginamber to create an antidote to Reverie's Poison. The potion has since been used in the annual Sleeping Beauty Tournament that is held every year at the Snowrose Academy.

## Effects

The potion's main purpose is to temporarily put someone to sleep until they are woken up with the counter potion, however it may also induce lucid dreaming while the drinker is unconscious. It is also said to make the drinker be able to see auras for a short time period and there have been recorded cases of drinkers having unexpected romantic feelings shortly afterwards and ultimately finding their soulmates shortly after drinking the potion.

### Limitations

The potion cannot be used to treat insomnia, because without a counter potion the drinker is not going to awaken from their state of sleep.

## Ingredients

### Agrimony

Promotes sleep and protects the drinker by creating a barrier between their conscious and unconscious states.

### Blue Lotus

Aids sleep, relieves anxiety and any muscle tensions the drinker may have and it may also induce lucid dreaming.

### Elderberry

Puts the drinker to sleep and protects them from evil influences while they are unconscious. It also ensures that the cycle continues and that the drinker will be able to wake up again later.

### Lavender

Promotes sleep and brings the drinker a sense of peace and calmness. It may also make auras visible to the drinker for a short time period and cause unexpected romantic feelings shortly after drinking the potion.

Alters the drinker's sense of awareness and vitality and changes their natural cycle.
