People have always been amazed and fascinated by the world of dreaming.
Dreams are one of the few paranormal phenomena which scientists can't explain, but can't deny, either.
They can tell you about brain waves and sleep patterns and REM.
But these words cannot explain how a sleeping mind can create whole new environment, double-ended conversations, nonexistant human beings with physical apprearances and complex personalities, memories of things that never happened, storylines... all as you are going along. You are not just thinking these things up, you are then animating them and becoming a part of the scenario.
Virtual Reality built in, ready to be plugged
Your dreams can reveal things about you, things about your past... and things about your future.
A dream is the mind's escape. Between the time you go to sleep and the time you awake, you are a totally different person in an alternate reality where the only conflicts that exist are the ones your mind wants to create.
Give yourself the chance to understand your dreams.
You will be amazed at how much you never knew about the world around you... and more importantly, about yourself.
The only reason left for you to not open the door to your dream-mind would be that you are afraid of what you'll find behind it.
The images and actions in dreams are tailored to each individual by her/his own subconscious mind.
That is why so few dream books are any help at all.
By recording your dreams, you will begin to see a pattern in the symbolic images and form your own interpretations. However, there are a few symbols which appear to be universal in interpretation
PILLOW:
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 like 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.
Traditionally, certain herbs and oils are used for specific purposes. The following lists of herbs and oils will help you decide which you want in your personal dream pillow.Do NOT ingest herbs and oils!
Some cats love this herb as much as catnip so keep it out of their reach
