Dream Ritual

Before getting into bed, cleanse, dress yourself, and make sure you will have no distractions. Relax. Play soothing music, if you wish. Make sure you have plenty of time to meditate and sleep. If you have to be somewhere early in the a.m. and you're just getting into bed late, you might have a problem.
Prepare a Dream Potion


To conjure forth prophetic dreams, drink an infusion of rosebuds or saffron prior to going to sleep. It will not only facilitate the dreamwork, it will also enhance vividness and aid in the recall of the dream upon waking.


To help bring on spiritual guidance dreams, drink a mint tea before retiring for the evening, or sleep with either Buchu leaves or mint leaves underneath your pillow.


Mugwort, one of the most potent herbs of dreamcraft, aids in astral projection and lucid dreaming when burned as an incense or placed under a pillow. Many Witches who practice the art of dreamcraft brew a magickal tea-potion from mugwort and drink it just before bed in order to strengthen thier psychic and magickal dream powers.


The following herbs have been used by Witches and spiritual dreamworkers since ancient times to enhance dream recall: mugwort, passionflower leaves, and rosemary. Drink any of the three as a magickal tea-potion just before going to bed or sleep with one of them under your pillow.


Inhale the steam. Breathe deeply and slowly. Hold the cup of tea before you and clear your mind of all "chatter." Gaze deeply into the tea. Pay close attention to how it looks, feels, and smells. Let the cup of tea be the "focus" that will aid you in total relaxation.

Once you are completely relaxed and your mind is free of all trouble, picture in your mind what you'd like to be doing. Are you looking for a better job? See yourself at your favorite work and feeling happy about it. Searching for love? See yourself happy and in love with the person of your dreams. Low on cash? See yourself financially independent and happy. Health problems? See yourself well and enjoying life.

Concentrate on a specific image that will represent what you'd like to be doing. DO NOT let anything negative set you back. DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO DROWN IN INSECURITY. Say you want to concentrate on a job promotion. (You've been working at the company for years and just need a break). You pick the image of the characteristic pin-striped suit and tie of an executive to represent the promotion- -a job promotion you know you will have, regardless of your current position. (Put your positive thinking to the test!)

Next, hold in your hand a stone (moonstone or octahedron are best for this) or other small hand-held object (such as a dream-catcher, feather, locket, etc.). The stone or object will be your personal Dream Fetish. The Dream Fetish should always be with you at your bedside or underneath your pillow. It is your "magick key" to the Land of Dreams.

While holding your Dream Fetish, drink your Dream Potion. Savor each drop to the last(while still keeping that specific image of what you want in your mind). As you drink, let the image not only represent that job promotion, but let it also represent YOU. With each sip, imagine yourself putting on that pin-striped executive's suit. See yourself in your new position dressed in that suit, smiling and happy.

After drinking, hold your Dream Fetish tight and say these words to yourself:

I HAVE DRUNK THE MAGICKAL BREW THAT WILL TAKE ME TO THE LAND OF DREAMS. I HAVE THE MAGICK KEY TO UNLOCK THE MYSTERY OF MY DREAMING. I HAVE THE POWER WITHIN TO MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE... SO BE IT!

Put the Dream Fetish beside your bed or underneath your pillow. As you lie in bed, let yourself start to sleep, but remain awake. Twilight images will come to mind. Just keep the image of yourself and what you want locked in your brain. Again, DON'T WORRY. Keep the visualization light and serene. If you want, you can add details to it.

As you finally find yourself entering sleep fully, formulate these words in your mind:

TO GREAT MORPHEUS* I SPEAK GRANT ME THE WISH THIS WORK** TO FIND.

* If you are uncomfortable with referring to a pagan god or goddess, please refer to whatever other form of deity or entity you are more familiar with.

** LOVE, HEALTH, MONEY, etc. Use whatever words are more fitting.

Change and elaborate, it's all up to you.

Within several hours, your bladder should wake you up (thanks to the tea you drank before bed) allowing you to recall the dream. After waking, record all that you can remember, even if it's just snippets and/or fragments. Recall all that you have felt, seen, touched, and heard from your dreams. There could be some invaluable clues in your dreams that will help you find what you seek. Even if you don't remember the dream, your subconscious knows and you will be unconsciously carrying things through to their fruition.
