Inside Dream: The Ingredients That Make Better Sleep Possible

Dream was built on one guiding principle: your body already knows how to rest. It just needs the right environment and support to do so consistently. Each ingredient in Dream plays a distinct role in helping you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up clear, not groggy.

This is a closer look at the science, function, and synergy behind every ingredient that makes Dream work.

CBD: The Foundation of Calm

CBD (cannabidiol) is one of the body’s natural allies for balance. It interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which regulates mood, stress, and sleep cycles. When that system is overactive, the body can remain alert even when it’s tired. CBD helps restore equilibrium by supporting the receptors that signal the nervous system to slow down and recover.

In studies, CBD has been shown to improve perceived sleep quality by easing pre-bed stress and tension. It helps the body exit the “fight or flight” state and return to homeostasis, creating the foundation of calm that every good night’s sleep depends on.

CBN: Sustained Sleep Support

CBN (cannabinol) is a rare, naturally occurring cannabinoid often associated with rest and relaxation. While CBD helps prepare the body for sleep, CBN helps sustain it. Research shows that CBN can reduce the number of nighttime awakenings and improve sleep continuity when combined with CBD.

CBN interacts with the same pathways that regulate sleep-wake balance, gently guiding the body into longer, more stable rest. The result is fewer wakeups, smoother transitions between sleep stages, and more time spent in true recovery.

Microdose THC: The Transition to Stillness

THC at a microdose level plays a very specific role in Dream’s formula. Rather than producing intoxication, small amounts of THC activate CB1 receptors that influence sleep onset and relaxation.

Research has shown that low doses of THC can shorten the time it takes to fall asleep and reduce restlessness throughout the night. It works best when carefully balanced with CBD, which moderates its effects and prevents overstimulation. The result is a calm, steady descent into sleep without grogginess or disorientation in the morning.

Dream uses a microdose of THC precisely for this effect: to help the body recognize that it’s time to let go, settle, and rest.

Chamomile: The Ritual of Rest

Chamomile is one of the most recognizable plants associated with sleep, and science now supports its long-standing reputation. Its key compound, apigenin, binds to GABA receptors in the brain, promoting relaxation and readiness for sleep.

Chamomile’s benefits go beyond chemistry. Its subtle scent and flavor activate familiar cues that tell the body it’s safe to rest. This sensory element transforms Dream from a supplement into a nightly ritual; one that reinforces consistency and strengthens the mind-body connection to rest.

Studies suggest chamomile can improve sleep quality, especially in people who experience mild sleep disturbances or occasional difficulty falling asleep. In Dream, it provides a finishing note of calm that rounds out the formula and signals the body that recovery is underway.

Valerian Root: The Body’s Slowdown Mechanism

Valerian root is one of nature’s oldest and most trusted sleep botanicals. Its main function is to support GABA activity, a neurotransmitter that acts as the body’s natural brake pedal.

When GABA levels rise, the nervous system slows down, tension eases, and muscles relax. Studies show that valerian can improve sleep onset and overall sleep quality, particularly when used consistently. It is not a knockout herb but a gentle regulator, helping your body shift from activity to rest.

Valerian’s strength lies in its ability to make relaxation feel natural. In Dream, it supports the transition between physical stillness and mental calm, creating a smooth handoff between cannabinoids and botanicals.

Passionflower: Quieting the Mind

While valerian helps the body relax, passionflower helps the mind follow. This climbing vine has been used for centuries to calm racing thoughts and promote mental clarity. Modern studies show that passionflower can improve overall sleep quality and reduce stress by influencing the brain’s GABA levels, much like valerian does.

Passionflower helps the brain unwind by lowering neural excitability, which is the overactive firing that often keeps thoughts spinning long after the lights go out. Its effect is a clear, gentle quieting of mental chatter that allows deeper relaxation to take hold.

In Dream, passionflower complements the cannabinoids perfectly, bridging physical relaxation with psychological calm.

The Synergy of Dream

Each ingredient in Dream plays a specific role, but the real power lies in how they interact. CBD and CBN regulate the body’s stress and sleep pathways. Microdose THC enhances the transition into rest. Valerian, passionflower, and chamomile sustain that state through the night.

This multi-layered approach targets every phase of the sleep cycle: relaxation, onset, continuity, and restoration. The result is deeper recovery that builds with consistency.

Night by night, Dream helps retrain your body to do what it’s meant to do: rest fully, recover completely, and wake clear.
