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.<\/p>\n
There are two factors one must consider in dream work: remembering one\u2019s 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 cannot recall?<\/p>\n
There is one method I believe works well. 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: \u201cI will remember my dreams when I wake up.\u201d Say this three times, once aloud and twice to yourself.<\/p>\n
Once you begin recalling dreams, you can begin to 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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, movement, and so on. These points reveal a great deal about the state of your life overall.<\/p>\n
Dreaming with\u00a0Crystals<\/a>\u00a0can 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\u00a0Crystals<\/a>\u00a0one might use.<\/p>\n *Stress<\/a>\u00a0Release And\u00a0Insomnia<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Amethyst<\/a>\u00a0is an excellent stone for relieving you of the\u00a0Stress<\/a>\u00a0of the day. A relaxing crystal, it also helps with\u00a0Insomnia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Headaches<\/a>. Take a glove and place it over your left \u201creceiving\u201d hand before retiring to bed. Slip a small\u00a0Amethyst<\/a>\u00a0crystal into the glove You will be able to get a good night\u2019s rest, release\u00a0Stress<\/a>, and your dreams may become more uniform, thus allowing you to remember them more easily. Once you become more comfortable with dreaming with\u00a0Amethyst<\/a>, you may want to tape one to your third eye before sleeping and create some real magic!<\/p>\n *Love And Romance<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Rose<\/a>\u00a0Quartz<\/a>\u00a0and Jade are good\u00a0Crystals<\/a>\/stones for dreams where love is the issue at hand. Place either crystal (or both) under your\u00a0Pillow<\/a>. (I find it best to actually slip the stone into the pillowcase. If it gets lost during the night, don\u2019t worry. It simply means you no longer need the benefits of those particular\u00a0Crystals<\/a>. The energies of these stones are soft and may bring forth dreams that are loving and filled with positive vibrations.<\/p>\n *Problem Solving<\/strong>\u00a0– Clear\u00a0Quartz<\/a>\u00a0is the best for issues one needs to work through while sleeping. Program a clear\u00a0Quartz<\/a>\u00a0point with the issue on your mind, with the express request to solve your issue via your dreams (see my previous article on Crystal Awareness for how to program). You will find that when you awake you will be more focused, grounded, and clear with your issue.<\/p>\n *Money and Prosperity<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Citrine<\/a>\u00a0is 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\u2026as is your faith that God and the Universe will provide for your needs.\u00a0Citrine<\/a>\u00a0is also helpful in cleansing the chakras (energy fields) of the body. You will find yourself awakening refreshed after using\u00a0Citrine<\/a>.<\/p>\n I strongly suggest that you dream with\u00a0Crystals<\/a>\u00a0for a full week, recording your results and the\u00a0Crystals<\/a>\u00a0you use, before moving on to the next crystal-dream\u00a0Exercise<\/a>\u00a0you want to try. Consistency and intent are most important. Your intention, your faith and your desire for accomplishment will bring about positive results.<\/p>\n There are as many methods as there are\u00a0Crystals<\/a>. 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\u00a0Pillow<\/a>, or even place some\u00a0Crystals<\/a>\u00a0under your mattress, forming a grid around your bed.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dreams are the most important part of living.
