Welcome back to White Rose of Avalon my Darlings. Today’s post is about the power of Dream and Sleep-related Magick! So, lately, I have been using more sleep and dream tracks, usually either sleep stories or sleep meditations to get myself into a very deep sleep. I even have a whole curated YouTube playlist of tracks, so that they play the entire time I am sleeping! I have noticed that I have been sleeping a lot better when I have these tracks on. It is not a surprise, as I have never been one to enjoy sleeping in total silence. I much prefer to have some form of noise on while I am falling asleep, and specially designed tracks for this purpose are much better than simply having a TV show or film on! Of course, along with sleep meditations, I have also been incorporating sleep tracks specifically targeted at lucid dreaming, and even more so at astral projection. As I often find myself crossing the hedge and astral projecting during meditations and in dreams, it seems rather obvious to have tracks playing to further encourage this while I sleep!
Another thing I have done for a very long time is to hold crystals while I am falling asleep. This all began with my favorite Rose Quartz, which served to soothe me into sleep, but then I began using my Moss Agate worry stone the same way. Lately, I have favored using my large Peach Moonstone Heart crystal to hold in my palm, as it is larger than the middle of my palm and has a very soothing energy, feeling like a blessing from the Faery Queen Goddesses, combining the Moon’s energy with Venus’s energy, and its weight is a comforting sense of grounding.
Yet another great way to work with Dreams and Sleep magick is to incorporate Dream journaling into your daily practice. While I have a big love of journaling daily, I only write about my Dreams when I can remember them clearly. But my daily morning journaling is something that I believe is generally helping in my Dream recall and overall ability to Lucid Dream and Astral Project during sleep!
Finally, as an herbalist, I have to mention that there are many herbs that can help with Dream and Sleep magicks. Mugwort, Lavender, Rosemary, Chamomile, and Lemon Balm are some of my most common go-to ingredients in Sleep tea blends to encourage Dream and Sleep magick! Mugwort is also my favorite smoke-cleansing herb, so I adore burning it to clear out unwanted energy, making for a better sleep experience once the room has been cleansed. Then there is the old favorite for many people, making Dream Pillows, which are small pillows stuffed with herbs, and sometimes crystals that will either be placed under your regular pillow, or in the bed somewhere to encourage pleasant Dreams! All of these are excellent ways to use herbs to encourage a better sleep experience.
At the end of the day, Dream and Sleep magick can be as unique as you are. This post was just me sharing some of my favorite ways to help my own Sleep and Dreaming. I hope you have been inspired by some of my Sleep and Dream magick practices. What is your favorite Sleep or Dream practice? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
