Have you ever been able to dream, in any form, as a child, a teen, or an adult? Found meaningful relationships between what was going on in your current life and the metaphors of your dream life?
Dreaming is one of the main ways that many people can receive information from their Angels and Spirit Guides, and visitations from Deceased Loved Ones.
When I was younger, my psychic abilities were explained to me in terms of dream prophecy. Having many dreams, especially vivid ones, in my family, was a sign of a spiritual gift.
Though I tried to 'shut off' my spiritual abilities during my teenage years, college, and early on in my adult path, I maintained a very active dream life.
If you are suppressing your natural spiritual gifts, not creating time to process intuition or have a lot going on, your dream life tends to be where your soul speaks to you.
Rather than fighting against an active dream life, I feel it's best to flow with it, accept it, and find ways to make it better.
Dreams are the naturally preferred method of Spirit Contact, and dreams are one way intuitive messages get to you.
You may already be open to dreaming and not afraid – especially if you view them as helpful, bringing realizations, insight and epiphanies.
Through the past decade developing my clairvoyant abilities and assisting others in developing theirs, I've come up with a few helpful tips for promoting a positive and productive relationship with your dream state that will make your nighttime slumber and the realizations within it, more supportive to your path.
You can get something from your dreams. There are clues within them. They are there to help us and show us the truth through the lens of our subconscious mind, and thus, paying attention to your dreams can accelerate your soul growth journey.
Once you develop your clairvoyance in a dream state, then it's easier to call upon it, on command, while awake.
Calling upon a dream state while awake is one of the things I specialize in now and even when doing that, you do need the right environment, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
Likewise is true with sleeping dreams. To get the most out of your nighttime dreams, setting up your environment to reveal the truth in your dreams is the first step.
Below, I will cover a few more ways you can set up your night for psychically symbolic dreams so you can access your inner world more easily, while getting the rest and renewal you deserve.
6 Ways To Increase Clairvoyance In Dreams
1. Set the intention to dream
Often, if we want something to occur, part of getting the ball rolling is setting the intention and allowing it to unfold - mind before matter. And this is often the case with dreams.
Are you in a tough situation and want guidance to come to you in your dreams? Would you like Spirit Message or confirmation of Spiritual Support in your dreams?
As you’re falling asleep, set the intention to dream:
"I am open and willing to receive guidance and wisdom in my dream state that’s readily available to me from my higher self, spirit guides, angels, and loved ones."
2. Prepare a dream tea
The main ingredient in my bedtime tea to promote dreaming is currently Wormwood, Artemisia absinthium. This is an herb that's thought to promote fruitful and prophetic dreams, and it's also thought to induce visions.
By itself, it can be bitter so I often blend it with other herbs to make a dream tea.
The best herbs to use for teas are the ones you have on hand, can find locally, the ones you grew, or the ones someone grew for you. You can typically combine any relaxing herbs for a dream tea, but these are the ones I’ve used in the past.
Directions to make the dream tea:
Boil water, the cleanest and purest, you have on hand.
Once bubbles start to reach the surface of the water, take it off the heat and let the water breathe until it stops bubbling. Then, add the slightly cooled water to the herbs, steeping for 10-15 minutes, add honey or sweetener to your taste, and drink.
3. Make a dream pillow
Dream pillows are little fabric sacks filled with herbs, and placed under your pillow. The aromatics are meant to help you relax and slip into a dream state. Sometimes they also include rice or barley and double as eye pillows.
My favorite dream pillow recipe:
- 1 part Lavender Flowers – may ease, soothe, and relax the spirit
- 1 part Rose Petals – may increase loving and peaceful thoughts
- 1 part Chamomile Flowers – may promote relaxation and pleasant dreams
- 1 part Hop Flowers – may aid in restful sleep and a bouncy mood
Directions to make the dream pillow:
Combine all the fragrant, relaxing herbs you have on hand and mix until all the herbs are evenly combined. Then fill a small cloth satchel (a bandana will do) with the herbal mixture and close it with a tie, flap or by sewing it shut. Dream pillows will stay fragrant for around 2-3 months.
4. Sleep with crystals
Several crystals are known to assist in promoting dreams but also help with the ability to recall dreams. Translucent, hard stones make great dream companions.
Try placing some of these stones in your dream pillow, under your pillow or on your nightstand. Placement will depend on the size and shape of your crystal.
Anhydrite, Amethyst and Rose Quartz are all great, as well as these crystals:
Danburite. First discovered in Danbury, Connecticut, this rare and beautiful silicate has a high energetic vibration. It is said to activate both higher levels of consciousness, improve your link to the spiritual and Angelic realms.Placing Danburite under your pillow, or by your bed at night is said to promote lucid and easily understood dreams. It is a beneficial stone for meditation, as it allows you to access inner guidance.
Danburite's energy is very soothing and comforting, and you sometimes find smaller pieces of it at gem shows, though it is not common. So if you see it for sale, consider yourself lucky and grab a piece.
Blue Kyanite helps stimulate healing and insightful dreams to promote a higher level of spiritual communication and truth. It is excellent for those who want clarity.
If you’re selecting a darker stone, make sure to keep it out of direct sunlight. Amethyst, for example, can bleach with prolonged exposure to UV rays.
5. Pay attention to repeating metaphors
The key to unlocking your dreams is to pay attention to the symbols and metaphors in them. Your repeating dream symbols will be the best ones to learn first.
Once you begin to notice the repeating images or scenes, you can start to uncover themes and decode their meaning by researching the symbols or scenes via dream blogs, or sitting with them in meditation.
6. Record your dreams with a journal
When you start paying attention to your dreams and your clairvoyant intuition, you’ll notice that Angels, Spirit Guides, and Deceased Loved Ones often provide guidance, robust information and even occasional visits in dreams.
When you begin to open the door to receptivity in the dream state, the dream world will often respond, and provide you with even more frequency and clarity.
One of the best ways to start exploring your dreams is to write them down in the morning upon waking, and then free write your interpretation of the possible meaning. Recording your dreams not only helps improve your ability to find the meaning in them, but it also increases your memory of the dreams you do have.
Recording your dreams can also help you enhance your communication with your subconscious mind and when you do that, both the conscious mind and the subconscious mind can work together to create your world.
So to recap, to improve your clairvoyance with dreams:
Set the intention to have the kind of dreams you want
Prepare a dream tea
Make a dream pillow in the old or modern way
Sleep with crystals
Pay attention to metaphors
Record your dreams with a journal
Give these steps a try to improve the intuitive insights you get while dreaming.
Making sense of your dream space and creating rituals around dreaming can be rewarding. You may find that in addition to having more fruitful dreams from trying the above, you may wake up feeling more refreshed, too.
