A little On Dreams

 

My alien Cat dream

I was at a cocktail party, everyone was drinking flourecent yellow

martinis. All the other guests were giant maroon cats with glowing eyes.

The Cats were gazing at me with intense interest. Suddenly my entire

body except for my head and feet turned into a salmon fillet.

--------------------------------

Even if you don't remember dreams you have them.

 

Most dreams are about ourselves and generally relate to what is going on

in our daily life. The people you see in your dreams often represent

aspects of yourself even when they are also people you know . Dreams are

often a kind of message or post it note from your inner self, and

subconscious to your conscious self. Dreams are often messages from the

emotional intuitive self to the rational thinking self.

Sometimes the characters in your dreams may be carriers of spiritual

energies, angels, guides, or have spiritual information and messages for

you. Sometimes in dreams we receive messages from spirits of people we

have known who have crossed over.

 

Not all dreams are meaningful or significant. Some dreams are Psychic or

Prophetic, Symbolic, Healing, Creative etc. and others are .... crap.

 

Different kinds of dreams

Psychic dreams may predict events that will possibly occur or may occur

in the future. Some Psychic dreams I have had depicted outcomes stemming

from junctions the point where different choices and actions lead to

different outcomes. Psychic dreams may also clarify some point or

provide information not otherwise available explain a mystery, inform

about a situation etc..

 

Prophetic dreams are those which convey lessons and message about higher

reality, spirituality or global evolution etc.. Symbolic dreams, are

dreams filled with symbols which can be interpreted or researched and

meditated on to find the meaning.

 

Lucid dreams are those where you become aware during the dream that you

are dreaming. Some dreams are just the blown off fragments of memories

and imagination and usually make no sense what so ever or make sense

only in the context of personal concerns.

 

My dream about becoming the Hors d'oeuvre at the cats party came at a

time of high pressure and multiple deadlines and made me aware of how I

was feeling about my life at that time. The symbols in that dream were

easy to interpret and probably did not contain higher, deeper, mystical

meanings to be pondered. Dreams inspired by too many anchovy ice cream

sandwiches, illness or over excitement might not have even that level of

significance.

 

You will need to learn your own symbolism to understand your dreams

properly, for example water will have a different meaning to an Olympic

swimmer than

to someone who believes they drowned in a previous life. a One way to

learn to interpret your dreams is to divide a page in half and write

down as much detail about the dream as you can recall

down the left hand side of the paper. Down the right hand side, take

each event you recorded, and write what that means to you.When you have

finished, read what you have written on the right hand side

and see if it builds a picture you understand. With practice it will.

 

Sleep and Dreams are ESSENTIAL to sanity and health, People who are

prevented from dreaming may become disoriented and or delusional. If you

do not get enough sleep. you will eventually reach the point where you

have hallucinations etc. This is essentially dreaming while awake.

 

Setting aside the issue of prophetic and symbolic dreams for the moment

to discuss ways of dealing with dreams that may stem either from

boundary issues or from personal energy imbalances and unresolved

issues. Dreams containing misplaced sexual desire , violence or

frightening foreboding images are often expressions of these internal

difficulties rather than being prophetic.

When I or others have had troubling or obsessive dreams and fantasies I

have found that grounding ,centering, clearing and shielding procedures

done before going to sleep

in addition to throughout the day can help greatly . Also of prime

importance is making sure that your second chakra is open and clear ,

that tears and blocks are being worked on and (very important) the

chakra is locked into the central channel . Imagine /envision your

chakra as a set of cones with the points at the spine and the wide part

at the outside front and back of your body , the points should be locked

into the central energy channel . How ever you are able to form the

intention of healing and locking in the chakra will work the specific

techniques are not as important

as the intention . Naturally your intention and focus is that all your

chakra and energy system be working in health, beauty and harmony but

many of the specifics mentioned in discussions of dreams

do relate to second chakra issues . I have often seen people have

amazing results and healing result from only a little work on the second

chakra when dreams and troubling thoughts .

This is an example of a real dream well described by the dreamer.

(shared with permission from Jana Hughes)

Natural disaster at Disneyland. this was my flood dream. in the rush of

the water, all the simulated adventure park adventure became real.

William Turner, the pirate from the carribean, navigating his ship, with

me on board through parking lots filled with floating cars and punk

kids, lines of refugees climbing up to higher ground, children running

across broken glass. We were separated, each of us, and had to go out in

search of our children, scattered across the park.

 

There was a garden at the house on the edge of the park where you and

your family lived and owned a small concessions shop. There was a

talking and biting beaver there too.... you said he was your half

brother, I think. I kept calling him badger, it was our little joke.. I

could tell he liked me because he didn't bite me hard. He could

transform into human shape when the time came to perform his rap

routine, but he didn't win the award show. There were sex starved

tweny-almosts, seducing rampantly. I was too busy and distracted and

chaste to join them, but couldn’t quite tell if my lover was too.

 

Once i found my daughter, the only way off the island was the train, a

roller coaster, the only ride left that wasnt or washed out. As we came

down the final hill Robin Williams gave every passenger a high five and

said ‘you’re only born with a small amount of insanity, so cherish it”.

There was a huge statue of bodhisattva surrounded by monks and bells and

orchids and a cafe that served overpriced and watery lattes and

sandwiches, but thankfully, the monks had won the 'no deep fryer'

argument with management. The roof of the temple dome was made of an

iridescent cloth that let the rain through, but blocked any image of the

sky. “Where will we meet” I yelled, as the elevator door closed. Taking

me up, leaving you on lower ground.

(This may in part have had to do with a stop smoking patch, a childs

first trip alone out of state, recalled memories etc. or something else

altogether)

-----------------

Ok you may what does this have to do with crystals what crystals help or

work with dreams . After long contemplation and study my conclusion is

that all crystals can or do help with Dreams or may share information in

dreams . There are certainly " traditional dream stones "

 

Any generalized listing of traditional Dream stones will be incomplete.

When one persons list is exactly the same as another persons they are probably

just following lists and not paying enough attention to the messages from the

crystals themselves. Some stones and crystals do come up over and over again

for many different people

 

Your best option is to seek out and listen look feel for those particular

crystal who have messages , assistance, companionship for you in your dream

work and for any particular circumstance. Many stones even those who are not

dream stones will tell you about themselves and give you relevant message in

your dreams. There are so many different reasons we seek clarity in dreams so

there are many many stones who will answer depending on the particular

situation.

 

A personal list of stones for dreaming should vary from person to person. I

tend to burble whenever I try to discuss dreams and crystals so many have

answered and taught me in the dream time that I feel overwhelmed. Aquamarine,

Phrenite , fluorite , jade, kyanite , Laramar, Lepiediolite, Toiurquoise

,chysocholla, many different clear and milky quartz crystals in many different

formations can and will guide , advise, lead you and heal within dreams. when

you read the books and search the Internet and when you commune with the

crystals and stones yourself you will find that almost every crystal and stone

is a dream stone for someone.

 

There is a lovely ammonite the kind with the pearly slightly iridescent outer

casing that often comes to sleep with me and leads me into dreams that a re

calming , visionary, unraveling mysteries and issues both ancient and current.

There is a nameless opaque pale aqua stone in Grey matrix with whom I dream of

angels and journeys within other realms , There is a natural Citrine who has

carried me into classrooms of mystic revelation and returns me with the

ability to work with those lessons practically.

 

Green Jades are on record as an ancient dream stone. They have been slept with

and promoted visionary dreams , peaceful dreams , journeying, healing dreams

almost everywhere they have been found throughout the world.

 

Azurite particularly the crystal form helps with preparing for dreams. Some

suggest that you place the crystal on your forehead for about 15 minutes before

you fall asleep to facilitate lucid or spiritual dreams. Some little nodules of

azurite have given me dreams that were at once playful and full of wise

guidance.

Many blue stones are found on most suggested lists especially for peaceful

dreams, Lapis has been called on for visionary dreams and Sodalite for dreams

of soul retrieval

violet stones such as Amethyst are said to promote strong vision in dreams and

facilitate dreams and meditation.

 

Jaspers and obsidian have often been gate keepers for protection and preventing

nightmares during sleep time.

Blue Lace Agate frequently helps with restful dreams and calming as well as when

you need to work on practical matters during your dream time.

 

Herkimer Diamond is a wonderful dream companion moving you to a higher deeper

level helping your reach that state of full awareness in your dreams and

subsequent recall.

What crystals and stones are dream stones for you? What stones do you suggest to

others for dream work of all kinds

I have a small Clear quartz crystal with a lot of iron in it that makes me

dream of the Otherworld.

I use to think that that crystal was helping me be grounded, but lately, I

felt it was not its main purpose with me.

 

So far, I dreamt with that crystal :

-Of one tiny white faiery that seems to be important in my life; she's

trying to tell me something that I do not quite understand yet. She is

moving so fast that I cannot even see her properly.

 

- Of a dead relative offering to help me (I always suspected that she was

kind of gardian angel for one of my children, but now she wants to work with

me)

 

- My life (body, mind and soul) represented by... Toilets.

 

Maybe I should listen to other stones to see if one of them could help me

clarify the messages that my crystal is trying to pass on to me...

Herkimer Diamonds are up there when it comes to dream work and dream recall

 

heres some info from a site I found with very good info

 

In crystal layouts Herkimer diamonds are probably the most effective crystals to

use to release energy blockages. They're particularly helpful when placed

between chakras. For example, if you had difficulty in communicating with

someone you loved and this difficulty was affecting the quality of your love,

you might place a Herkimer between the heart and throat. (My choices for heart

and throat stones, respectively, would be pink calcite for allowing yourself to

release old and hurtful patterns and be free to love unconditionally, and

amazonite for the courage to express oneself).

A Herkimer diamond, like all forms of clear quartz, will enhance the energy of

any crystal it is placed with in a crystal layout.

Because of its ability to help release energy blockages, which often express

themselves in the form of stress and tension, I consider this crystal to be an

important tool in prevention of physical disease (this is not a medical

opinion).

One of the most striking aspects of Herkimer diamonds is their ability to

enhance dream recall. If you have difficulty remembering your dreams or aren't

even sure that you have them, this is the most likely stone to help.

However, I do need to warn you that some people find their dreams becoming so

vivid that they feel as if they weren't asleep at all. There is a solution to

this problem. When an amethyst is placed with the Herkimer, the latter's energy

is softened. You will still clearly remember dreams, but will feel rested.

One last quality of Herkimer diamonds is that they seem to have the ability to

raise human energy levels, and are thus recommended whenever you need more cheer

in your life.

 

Peace and Light

I have recently be sleeping with fulgurite, that has produced some very

vivid dreams and more consistently then any other crystals I use to sleep with

in

hopes of dreaming purposes. I have something of an electric personality (can

affect street lights and traffic lights). So, it may just be that the

fulgurite resonates well with me due to it's electric nature also. Amethyst and

selenite are favorites.

 

I personally will try whatever crystal(s) offer themselves up for the night.

Some however may not get used a second time, depending on what kind of

dreams they evoke. I will also use small totemic stone carved figures. I will

also

sleep with more then one crystal at a time if so inclined.

 

Blessings to you eve all
