To me,
dreams are the most important part of living. By tapping into them one
can explore the waking world, and actually work through issues before
they have even come to light. There are two factors one must consider in
dream work: remembering one’s dreams and recording those dreams. I have
had many clients tell me they could not remember their dreams, or that
they do not dream. Everyone dreams, every night. How can one record what
one can not recall? There is one method I believe works well.
REMEMBERING:
Before sleeping for the night, form your hand into a fist and hold it
in the center of your chest. Close your eyes and say: “I will remember
my dreams when I wake up.” Say this three times, once aloud and twice to
yourself. After a few days, recall should be easier.
RECALLING & DECIPHERING:
Once you begin recalling dreams, you can record them. Purchase a
journal, any kind will do. Some of my clients buy a notebook with an
inspirational cover while others simply pick a small school notebook.
Personally, because I do heavy dream work each day, I have a notebook
and a small tape recorder that I use during the night because
handwriting can be tricky when you wake up from dreaming. In dream
recall everything is important. A general rule would be to make a point
of recalling any of the following: colors, shapes, gender, water,
weather and movement. These points should reveal a great deal about the
state of your life at the present time.
Using
crystals for dreaming can enhance the dream state in many ways,
depending on the type of crystal and how it is used. The results can be
enlightening, enriching and therapeutic. Below are methods and the
crystals one might use.
Stress Release And Insomnia — Amethyst
is an excellent stone for relieving you of the stress of the day. A
relaxing crystal, it also helps with insomnia and headaches. Take a
glove and place it over your left “receiving” hand before retiring to
bed. Slip a small amethyst crystal into the glove. You will be able to
get a good night’s rest, release stress, and your dreams may become more
uniform, thus allowing you to remember them more easily. Once you
become more comfortable with dreaming with amethyst, you may want to
tape one to your third eye before sleeping and create some real magic!
Love And Romance — Rose
quartz and Jade are good crystals/stones for dreams where love is the
issue at hand. Place either crystal (or both) under your pillow. (I find
it best to actually slip the stone into the pillow case. If it gets
lost during the night, don’t worry. It simply means you no longer need
the benefits of those particular crystals. The energies of these stones
are soft and may bring forth dreams that are loving and filled with
positive vibrations.
Problem Solving — Clear
quartz is the best for issues one needs to work through while sleeping.
Program a clear quartz point with the issue on your mind, with the
express request to solve your issue via your dreams. You will find that
when you awake you may be more focused, grounded, and clear with your
issue.
Money and Prosperity — Citrine
is an excellent crystal for bringing about wealth in body, mind and
spirit. Known as the merchant stone, it manages to attract abundance in
ways that fortify balance, whether that balance is sought in the home,
the bank account, the body, spirit, or the mind. Intent is important…as
is your faith that God and the Universe will provide for your needs.
Citrine is also helpful in cleansing the chakras (energy fields) of the
body. You will find yourself awakening refreshed after using Citrine.
I
strongly suggest that you dream with crystals for a full week,
recording your results and the crystals you use, before moving on to the
next crystal-dream exercise you want to try. Consistency and intent are
most important. Your intention, your faith and your desire for
accomplishment will bring about positive results. There are as many
methods as there are crystals. There is no right or wrong to doing this.
Tape a crystal to your wrist or third eye; wear a glove with a crystal
inside, slip it under your pillow, or even place some crystals under
your mattress, forming a grid around your bed. Experimentation is the
key. Just make sure to keep an accurate record of the crystal/gemstone
you use, how you are using it, and the length of time within which you
used it.
I wish you luck and I wish you love! Enjoy this new adventure in dreaming with crystals.
