Dream Magic with Snow Dragon What is Dream Magic? I know you must be thinking: what is dream magic? Well, in the following pages, i hope to answer that question and many more. To find out what Dream Magic is, we have to break it down. What are dreams? A dream can be a hope, a goal, a thought, an experience even an old memory. Dreams are revered and feared. They are often misunderstood. What is magic? We each have our own definition of magic, so that answer varies. Basically, magic is everything around you. Dream magic helps you use your own mind and dreams in ways to help you make your life more full and to help you understand yourself better. Together, we will explore your inner thoughts and aspirations, as well as learn how to interpret your dreams. (please to not post in reply to this thread with questions, etc....there is a thread called DREAM MAGIC that will be specifically for that purpose)

Dream Magic with Snow Dragon Dream Magic Q&A
Dreams have always fascinated me. I have been using my dreams to eveluate situations, to warn me of coming events and many other things for many years now. Dreams are one of the most powerful things we possess. Throughout mythology you will find many gods and goddesses that were associated with dreams and magic and psychic powers. Vivid dreams can be a source of many confusing mornings. Hopefully in the pages i have written here, we will be able to change that confusion to enlightenment. Here i will cover some basic information about dream magic and what it is, and what we will be covering in these pages.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` if dreams are magic, why havent i heard of this before? Well, dreams are very potent, and can be very confusing. This creates a disbelief that dreams do not have any true power or meaning. Because of that disbelief, it is hard for people to be serious about it. You have probably not heard of it because it was dismissed by others as something not of value. I have trouble remembering my dreams. Will this matter? No actually, it does not matter. roughly about 80% of people do not remember either all or even part of their dreams. Hopefully, after working together, you will be able to remember most, if not all of your dreams.

Dream Magic with Snow Dragon Dream Stones - Author Unknown
First select the kind of stone you want to use as your dream stone. I would recommend a piece of clear quartz, amethyst, rose quartz, or citrine as your first dream stone. To clear out any unwanted energies in your stone, place it in you left hand, covering it with your right. Next imagine a clear pool of water in your mind. Breathe in deeply, seeing and sensing the clear water washing out your dream stone, and then pulse your breath out sharply through your nose, as if to set the image in place in the stone. To program your dream stone, repeat the clearing process, only instead of imagining clear water in your dream stone, imagine what you want in it, from spiritual clarity to prosperity or maybe a new relationship. The choice is yours. After programming the stone, hold it in your nondominant or receiving hand(left if you are right-handed) as you sleep, noticing how it affects your dreams. Check out different types of stones programming them for various things while again observing their affects on your dreams. You can also intentionally bring your dream stone into your dreams, using it for energizing, traveling, and healing. As you drift to sleep, simply repeat to yourself: Dream stone of light, Dream with me tonight. Keep this stone next to your bed, under your bed, or in your pillow case in a natural fabric bag, or hold it in your receiving hand at night as you drift to sleep. The power of the stone entrains your dreams, just as your energy entrains the dream stone. The following is a list of stones you can use for dream magic, along with their properties. DREAM STONES Agate: Grounding and balancing your dreams, self-confidence, balance Amethyst: Divine communication, wisdom, bannishing nightmares, dream protection, mental clarity. Citrine: Dream messages, mental clarity, dispelling negative dreams, empowerment, remembering your dreams. Clear Quartz: Ultimate dream magic stone, spiritual connection, divine guidance, healing dreams, divine dreams, time travel, astral travel. Diamond: Divine inspiration, remembering your dreams, amplifying dream energies, protection, magical dreaming. Herkimer Diamond(an extremely hard diamond): Propitious for all kinds of dream magic, stimulating higher awareness, filtering out negative dreams.

Caer Ibormeith Ireland; goddess of sleep and dreams; and perhaps a less violent version of Mare; daughter of Ethal Anubail, a faery king of Connacht. She often took the form of a swan who lived on a lake called Dragon's Mouth, and wore a copious golden chain with 130 golden balls on a silver chain about her slender neck. She was loved by Aengus MacOg, god of young love. When he awakened from a dream of her he sought her out. After he found her, he too became a swan, and the two of them flew and sang the sweetest, most restful music ever heard upon this earth. Together they flew away to Bruigh na Boinne, his megalithic site north of Tara, where they sang so wonderfully that the whole of Ireland fell into a peaceful sleep for three days and three nights.

Rosemary: use just a little as it is very strongly scented. Avoid nightmares and headaches.
St. Johns Wort: banishes spirits.
Valerian: deep rest. Some cats love this herb as much as catnip so keep it out of their reach!
The supplies you will need to create a dream pillow are: a piece of plain or muslin cloth; a piece of fancy cloth or of a material you can decorate; your choice of herbs and oils; an eye-dropper; wooden or glass bowl; wooden spoon. It is never good to mix herbs and oils with or in anything metal! Before beginning the dream pillow, decide what you will be using it for: to repel bad dreams, strengthen your prophetic abilities, rest and healing, etc. Choose your herbs and oils according to the pillow's use. To make a dream pillow, cut out two pieces of muslin or plain cloth to hold the herbs. These pieces of muslin should each be 12" by 8". With the wrong sides of the material (if there are any) together, stitch down the 8 inch side to the depth of 3/4"; stitch the same depth across one 12" end and across the other 8" side. Three sides of the fabric should be sew. Turn this little bag inside out so the seams are now on the inside. This is the "inner pillow" in which you will put your herbal mixture. Using fancier material, or a cloth you can paint or embroider, cut two more pieces of material 12 inches by 8 inches. Stitch them the same as the "inner pillow" except sew only to a depth of 3/8 inch. As with the inner pillow, turn it so the seams are on the inside. If you wish embroider it in any design or decorate it with fabric paints. If you plan to make this cover removable for washing, turn down a small hem on the open end and attach small Velcro disks or snaps to keep it closed. In a large wooden or glass bowl, mix together the herbs you have chosen with a wooden spoon. This is done gently, rather Iike tossing a salad. With the eye-dropper, add the chosen oils to the herbs. Use no more than a total of 5-6 drops at a time until you reach a strength to your taste. Remember, what smells nice standing over the bowl may well be too strong when you sleep on the pillow, so use restraint. Fill your "inner pillow" with the herbal mixture. Don't pack it full or it will be uncomfortable to sleep on. Leave it a little flat. Turn in a little of the open end so the raw edges are inside, then sew this end shut. Slide this inside your decorated cover, attach the fasteners, and you are ready for sweet dreams.

Medicinal & Magical Herbs to End Nightmares & Bring Good Dreams: Class 1) Herbs to be ingested as tea: valerian root * St. John's wort chamomile * Regarding valerian as a tea, Shez wrote: It is actually a very sound sleeping aid, though shouldn't be taken for more than a couple of weeks, My own sleepy time tea Is 3 tsp of valerian powder 3 tsp of skullcap 2 tsp of passiflora. Pour just off the boil water on the herbs, leave one hour, then sieve out leaves and powder and add honey. Take one hour before going to bed. It tastes, looks and smells awful, but it works. Michael McCord (eh671@freenet.carleton.ca), Robyn James (robyn@hnhc.freeserve.co.uk), and Henriette Kress (hetta@saunalahti.fi) noted that some people find Valerian acts as a stimulant, so one should try it out carefully before relying on it as a sedative. Class 2) Herbs to be burned in the bedroom before retiring: althaea leaves star anise benzoin frankincense Class 3) Herbs to be placed under the pillow: hops mullein calendula flowers star anise, broom corn ** rosemary ** althaea root frankincense tears poppy flowers purselane ** Using broom corn and/or rosemary to dispel evil dreams: Get a small handful of fresh broom corn tops -- or, in a pinch, cut some from a new broom -- and dip them in warm, salty water. Use them to sprinkle the salt water in the corners of the room where you sleep and also on your bedclothes. When you have finished, place the broom corn tops under your pillow. The next morning, discard them at a crossroads. This will carry all evil away from your bedroom and bed. Some people use whole fresh rosemary tops for this ritual, or mix broom corn tops with rosemary tops.] catherine yronwode (cat@luckymojo.com) © 1997 catherine yronwode (cat@luckymojo.com) © 1997 Shez ------------------------------------------ TO PREVENT NIGHTMARES Place a glass of water out at your bedside before you go to sleep. In the morning empty it into the toilet, using the anti-dexter hand. Rinse the glass out three times. Do this every night, not just when you are having nightmares. Burning Benzoin incense in the room will raise the vibration of the room, and keep most negative spirit influences away. If you were born with the Sun in Gemini, you are susceptible to this kind of influence every lunar month. (Statistically, you are more susceptible than the average person.) You should note what sign the moon is in when you have these nightmares, and be certain to clean your room physically the day before the moon enters that sign. This, using the night water, and burning incense will be of some assistance to you. Reference -- "Spiritual Cleansing" by Draja Mickaharic © 1999 John M Hansen (jmhansen@erols.com)
