Dreaming with Crystals

Dreams are the most important part of living. By tapping into them onecan explore the waking world, and actually work through issues beforethey have even come to light. There are two factors one must considerin dream work: remembering one's dreams and recording those dreams. Ihave had many clients tell me they could not remember their dreams, orthat they do not dream. Everyone dreams, every night. How can onerecord what one cannot recall? There is one method I believe workswell. Before sleeping for the night, form your hand into a fist andhold it in the center of your chest. Close your eyes and say: "I willremember my dreams when I wake up." Say this three times, once aloudand twice to yourself.


Once you beginrecalling dreams, you can begin to record them. Purchase a journal, anykind will do. Some of my clients buy a notebook with an inspirationalcover while others simply pick a small school notebook. Personally,because I do heavy dream work each day, I have a notebook and a smalltape recorder that I use during the night because handwriting can betricky when you wake up from dreaming. In dream recall everything isimportant. A general rule would be to make a point of recalling any ofthe following: colors, shapes, gender, water, weather, movement, and soon. These points reveal a great deal about the state of your lifeoverall.


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 beenlightening, enriching and therapeutic. Below are methods and thecrystals one might use.


*Stress Release And Insomnia- Amethyst is an excellent stone for relieving you of the stress of theday. A relaxing crystal, it also helps with insomnia and headaches.Take a glove and place it over your left "receiving" hand beforeretiring to bed. Slip a small amethyst crystal into the glove You willbe able to get a good night's rest, release stress, and your dreams maybecome more uniform, thus allowing you to remember them more easily.Once you become more comfortable with dreaming with amethyst, you maywant to tape one to your third eye before sleeping and create some realmagic!

*Love And Romance - Rose quartz andJade are good crystals/stones for dreams where love is the issue athand. Place either crystal (or both) under your pillow. (I find it bestto actually slip the stone into the pillowcase. If it gets lost duringthe night, don't worry. It simply means you no longer need the benefitsof those particular crystals. The energies of these stones are soft andmay bring forth dreams that are loving and filled with positivevibrations.

*Problem Solving - Clear quartzis the best for issues one needs to work through while sleeping.Program a clear quartz point with the issue on your mind, with theexpress request to solve your issue via your dreams (see my previousarticle on Crystal Awareness for how to program). You will find thatwhen you awake you will be more focused, grounded, and clear with yourissue.

*Money and Prosperity - Citrine is anexcellent crystal for bringing about wealth in body, mind and spirit.Known as the merchant stone, it manages to attract abundance in waysthat fortify balance, whether that balance is sought in the home, thebank account, the body, spirit, or the mind. Intent is important...asis your faith that God and the Universe will provide for your needs.Citrine is also helpful in cleansing the chakras (energy fields) of thebody. 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 tothe next crystal-dream exercise you want to try. Consistency and intentare most important. Your intention, your faith and your desire foraccomplishment will bring about positive results. There are as manymethods as there are crystals. There is no right or wrong to doingthis. Tape a crystal to your wrist or third eye; wear a glove with acrystal inside, slip it under your pillow, or even place some crystalsunder your mattress, forming a grid around your bed. Experimentation isthe key. Just make sure to keep an accurate record of thecrystal/gemstone you use, how you are using it, and the length of timewithin which you used it. I wish you luck and I wish you love! Enjoythis new adventure in dreaming with crystals.
