D for Dream Witch

Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.     

-Marsha Norman

Dream - (A possible variation of Hedge) Mindful and internal magickal practice mainly based from interpreting dreams and/or engaging in lucid dreaming. Those who intensify as this may “de-code” symbols and messages in the dream world similar to how one would use a divination technique.

Let´s get real here. I need a lot of sleep. Like a LOT. I also used to keep dream journal when I was a kid and now a days I sometimes write little novels about my dreams. I also could control my dreams, realized when I am dreaming and say "wake up" to myself while having a nightmare. Lucid dreaming can be very exiting experience and you can learn to do it. If you have trouble sleeping, you might try dream meditation tapes. Those whale sounds or rain kind. I have never tried but I could some day, that would be a new thing. I also want to try to put stuff (like crystals that helps you sleep or see certain dreams) under my pillow again and make some dream tea´s.  Dreams  and dreaming can be an empowering and energy giving thing. To me, it definitely is. Let´s meet in a dream.

Dream witch tips

-Always cleanse yourself after a nightmare. Dreams manifest energy so get rid of those negative energies and use extra self care the next day. Your mind and spirit will thank you 🕉

**For cleansing after a nightmare you may use lemon, thyme, and lavender water infusion, you can drink it or add it to a bath

-Place amethyst and scolecite under your pillow or wear them as an amulet to induce lucid dreaming and peaceful astral projection

-Trouble sleeping lately? Having anxious or unclear dreams?

Open the window closest to your bed, and shake out your covers.

Completely changing your bedding is great, but I know it takes a lot of spoons to do that.

Shake your covers, beat your pillows, beat and brush off crumbs from your sheet.

This should clear up stagnant energy from your sleeping space and clear up your head!

-“Place lavender under your pillow while thinking of your wish. Do this just prior to retiring for the night. In the morning, if you have dreamt of anything relating to your wish, it will come true. However, if you did not have dreams, or if they were unconnected with your wish, it will not manifest” 

~ Scott Cunningham’s encyclopedia of magical herbs 

-An obsidian and amethyst combo does wonders in warding against nightmares and ensuring peaceful dreams

-Sea sand is amazing for dream work. Keep a jar of sea sand (dream dust) next to your bed to protect against nightmares and help guide your dreams 

**add rosemary to help remember your dreams

*** add citrine for an extra anti-nightmare boost

-Herb sachets hung above your bed (request herb sachet recipes from me if you’re interested).

-Hang Dry herbs upside down in your bedroom (Lavender helps for anxiety and depression… it is very calming or Mugwort for dreams. Mugwort is very invasive, you can find it growing everywhere).

-Herbs placed inside your pillow sheet (Mugwort leaves inside to active lucid dreams).

-Setup an Altar near your bed: add elements of earth, fire, water and air. You can also use your windowsill as an altar.

-Place Black Tourmaline under your bed: shields you energetically by taking the electromagnetic frequencies, and instead of absorbing them, tourmaline changes, redirects, cleanses, and purifies the energy. This is how it handles negativity, even energies of psychic attack too!

-Place Sigil writings or powders for protection and restful beauty sleep under your mattress.

-Keep a dream journal under your pillow! Dreams can help us get a glimpse into our subconscious and the more dreams you write the easier it becomes for you to remember them.

-Unless you are allergic, sleep with the window halfway open or cracked to let good energy move around and circulate in your room and keep skin hydrated during the night.

-Drink herbal tea before bed each night. (Request free herbal tea recipes from me if interested) Mugwort tea is great to have in the evening before bed to reach high levels of lucid dreaming

-Smoking Herbs before bed is great as well. Book for further reading: Smoke Plants Of North America by M.R. Ross. (Request free Smoke Blend recipes from me if interested). With reverence, Rosemary Milk
