How to Develop Your Clairvoyant Abilities with Dreams

Have you ever had the ability to dream ~ as a child, a teen or an adult?

If so, Congratulations, you have clairvoyant abilities!
Dreaming is the #1 way that many people receive information from their angels, spirit guides and deceased loved ones. If fact, when I ‘shut off’ my own spiritual abilities during my teenage years, I still had the ability to connect with spirit and maintained a very active dream life. Dreams are often the naturally preferred method of spirit contact– as most of us are already open to dreaming and not afraid of our own dreams – especially when they bring realizations, insight, and epiphanies…
Since we are already open to dreaming, developing clairvoyant and intuitive abilities in the dream state can enhance, fine tune, and heighten your connection to yourself and to spirit . . . simply by beginning to pay attention to your dreams!

Pay Attention to Symbols and Metaphors

Dreams often include symbolism and metaphors, and it’s easy to dispel this information as invaluable – but it is! Each of us has a symbolic and magical way of interpretation for the world, that is in the space beyond the words, and lies in our subconscious and within the consciousness’ of the Universe. During our dream state, we have full access to our own personal magic, and our wonderful intuitive clairvoyant abilities, which we can use to interpret the world.
The key to unlocking YOUR dreams is to pay attention to the symbols and metaphors. While consulting a dream book is often helpful, it is more important to begin to notice when these images appear in your dreams and then, align those images, symbols, and metaphors, with what is happening in your life. Since spirit often communicates with us most strongly in crisis or when we are facing a transition, it is important to begin to notice dreams even in times when you feel unsettled and confused – as the most important information may be coming to you in those times. As you begin to keep track of recurring symbols and metaphors, what was once a useless symbol, is now an indicator or insight of a present situation or perhaps, a fair warning of something that could happen in the future!
Paying attention to symbols and metaphors can not only provide you with deep insight of your current situation, but also, help you develop a method of dreaming called ‘precognition’. Precognition is the ability to perceive things in your dreams that will occur in the future.

Begin to Journal and Record Your Dreams

When you start paying attention to your dreams (and your clairvoyant intuition!), the spirit world begins to pay attention, too. Angels, spirit guides and deceased loved ones often provide you with guidance, powerful information, and even occasional visits in dreams! When you begin to open the door to receptivity in the dream state, the spirit world will often begin to provide you with even more frequency and clarity.
The best way to pay attention to your dreams is to record them immediately upon waking – before getting up, making breakfast, or even using the bathroom! Once you leave the bed, it’s very easy to forget the images from the previous night, and you may begin loose the information all together as you shift gears into the new day. While you can interpret dreams upon waking and hash them out with friends, loved ones, and family members – it is very hard to take note of patterns without a record of your dreams over time. For example, if you keep seeing yourself dying in a dream, but you’ve seen this same symbol during several other periods of your life, it might be hard to know what this symbol (death) may mean for you in the context of your life. Thus, recording the details of the dream AND your current life challenges and circumstances, is the best method of learning your personal metaphors and symbols.
I suggest a journal that is specifically for dreams and the information you receive in dreams. Often times, dream sequences can take place over several nights of sleep, so even if it doesn’t make sense that morning, give the images and the information time to unfold. Don’t feel like writing anything down at 6:30am? How about typing up something on the computer and emailing it to yourself? Or try using a voice recorder? Try out a few of these methods of dream recording and find the best method for you!

Set the Intention to Dream

Often times, if we want something to occur, all we have to do is set the intention, and allow it to unfold. This is often the case with dreams. Are you in a tough situation and want guidance to come to you in your dreams? Simply say “I am open and willing to receive guidance and wisdom in my dream state, readily available to me from my higher self, guides, angels, and loved ones”.
Even if you don’t remember having a dream come morning, but have more clarity and a better understanding of your situation the following morning, you likely received information while in your sleep state.
After you set your intention to dream, there are a few things you can do to enhance your abilities to dream, and in turn, develop your clairvoyant abilities!

1. Prepare a Dream Tea

The main ingredient in bedtime tea to promote dreaming is Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris L.), which is an herb that has long been used to promote vivid, lucid, and prophetic dreams. I have used mugwort for this purpose and have experienced vivid and meaningful dreams. In addition to its use with dreams, mugwort is associated with developing psychic gifts in general, and is often burned before tuning in and using methods of divination or astral projection. Mugwort is considered a sacred herb of Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon, the hunt, and chastity, which gives it its scientific name. In addition to a Mugwort tea, I usually add chamomile, lavender, mint, lemon balm, or rose petals to the tea blend, and freely experiment with different mixtures.

Dream Tea Recipe

-1 part mugwort
-1 part chamomile
-1 part lemon balm
Directions: Place herbs in a pot of water, and bring close to a boil. Once bubbles start to reach the surface of the water, turn down the temperature, and allow the herbs to simmer for 20 minutes. When complete, take the herb and water mixture off the heat, and strain. Enjoy, and remember to record your dreams in the morning!

2. Make a Dream Pillow

Dream pillows have been used for centuries and historically, babies were often given small pillows filled with herbs to help calm them or to ease crying during the bedtime hours. When filled with a blend of specific herbs, you can experience a more peaceful sleep, but also, more vivid and meaningful dreams (and relief from nightmares!). The scent of the herbs in these dream pillows is not as strong as a potpourri, and promotes a peaceful and relaxing state of mind.
To make a dream pillow, I prefer to use organic cotton or muslin. You can make your own, find a small cotton sachet around the house, or purchase an organic fabric tea bag (available at most natural health stores). Generally, dream pillows are around 5 inches x 5 inches, but the size of your pillow will be unique to you. Begin filling your sachet with your own herbal mixture or fill it with my favorite recipe .

Dream Pillow Recipe

- 2 parts mugwort – promotes lucid dreams
- 1 part lavender flowers – eases stress, soothe, and relax
- 1 part rose petals – increases loving and peaceful thoughts
- 1 part chamomile – promotes relaxation and pleasant dreams
- 1 part hop flowers – aids in restful sleep and healing.
Optional Ingredients:
Lemon Balm – Reduces anxiety and insomnia, and relieves headaches and stress.
Mullein – Guards against nightmares.
Cedar & Rosemary – Repels bad dreams, but use sparingly due to the strong scent.
Directions: Combine all herbs in wooden or glass bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. Fill small dream pillows with herbal mixture and close. Note: Be sure not to overfill. The sachet should go unnoticed slipped inside the pillowcase. The herbs in the pillow will maintain their scent for several months and you may want to switch out the herbs a few times a year.

3. Sleep with Crystals

Crystals can be used to open to spiritual communication, connection with angels and spirit guides, and to enhance your natural clairvoyant and intuitive abilities. There are several crystals that are known to assist in promoting dreams, but also the ability to recall dreams. Try placing some of these stones in your dream pillow, under your pillow, or on your nightstand to promote dreaming.

• Danburite

Danburite is a stone with a high energetic vibration and 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 clear and easily understood dreams. It is a very useful stone for meditation as it is believed to allow you to access inner guidance. Danburite’s energy is very soothing and comforting. It is thought to encourage the release of anxiety, fear and grief and to bring feelings of serenity, calm and patience.

• Herkimer Diamond

 

Herkimer diamonds can be used for attunement and to bring harmony and clarity to a situation. They can also be used to release energy blocks and stress, and in this case, greatly enhance the clarity of dream recall. However, some people find that their dreams become so vivid, they feel they haven’t slept at all – due to all the dreaming! Thus, if you find this for you, try placing an Amethyst crystal with this stone to buffer the energy and promote a more restful state .

• Blue Kyanite

This stone is associated with the third eye and throat chakra, increasing clairvoyant abilities and creating better communication with self and your personal truth. Blue Kyanite also opens you up to spiritual honesty and energy, which aids in the recall of dreams. In addition, Blue Kyanite is helpful in stimulating healing and insightful dreams to promote a higher level of spiritual communication and truth.
By setting the intention to have more insightful and meaningful dreams, using the tools above, and recording the information that you receive, you are opening the gateway to not only improve your connection to spirit, but enhance your own clairvoyant and intuitive abilities. By working on developing your natural clairvoyant gifts, you will be able to obtain spiritual guidance more clearly, more frequently, and with greater accuracy.
