My Notes about Dreamworking
Some General guidelines, that work for me personally:
Keep a dream journal. Always write down what you can remember from your dreams. Like a muscle, the ability to retain unconscious & spiritual knowledge into your physical body must be trained.
Keep your journal organized. Ideally, including monthly and yearly recaps of reocurring themes, important events and a summary of the types of dreams you tend to have, so you can sort your dreams by type and theme every month, and spot patterns to interpret as necessary.
š Some types of dreams to tag them as are (SD) Symbolic Dream, (UM) Unconscious/Body Message, (LD) Lucid Dream, (N) Nightmare, (PD) Prophetic Dream, (ST) Spirit travel, (SE) Spirit Event or Encounter. [Dreams can go in multiple of these categories at once, and you can add more categories if you need them]
3. Before going to bed, there's two things to do:
āļø Mundanely: Remembrance of your day from night to morning, going backwards through every event you can think of. This is a way to facilitate the process of going over your day that your body does naturally, and taking that out of the way already allows to reconnect with past dreams or other goals more easily, since you're spending less time and energy on just your mundane life and daily actions. š Spiritually: If there's any particular goal for your dreams that night, re-read past dreams that involve your target dream. Perhaps dreams that share a particular topic you want to work on, or dreams with a reocurring theme, anything that you need further clarification or exploration on.
4. Practice lucid dream inducing techniques, such as:
MILD (Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams): Before falling asleep, set your intention to remember you are dreaming.Ā As you fall asleep, repeatedly tell yourself "I will remember that I'm dreaming". Visualize yourself in a dream (if you want to go back to a reocurring theme or a past scenario, for example, pathworking your way there) and identify a "dreamsign" or unusual element within the "dream". Fix your mind on a way to identify or "reality check" the dream once you drift off, and this will eventually become your own personal method to regain lucidity.Ā WILD (Wake-Initiated Lucid Dream): Transitioning directly from wake into a lucid dream without losing awareness.Ā Similar to a "Journey" or spirit travel, but without (necessarily) giving your mind directionality or consciously guiding it's contents, just as a witness. It'll start with loose imagery or sensations, and slowly develop into a whole dream scene.
5. Meditate, and practice spirit travel often. Much like being able to remember your dreams, consciously traversing planes also trains that muscle and allows for easier recall, more vivid dreams, and even more dreams that also involve spirit travel and spirit encounters.
