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
cannot recall? 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: "I will
remember my dreams when I wake up." Say this three times, once
aloud and twice to yourself.
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. 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, movement, and
so on. These points reveal a great deal about the state of your
life overall.
Dreaming with crystals 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
pillowcase. 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 (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. *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.
