Hello there! It’s been a hot minute since my last post. But I’m sure you can agree that there’s a lot going on around the World and in our own back yards. Yup, Covid-19 bka CORONAVIRUS! Did you read that in Cardi B’s voice?

As an empath times like these just suck. They truly do. I feel all of the sadness, anxiety, etc all at once or different points of my days. I’ve had to pull out my crystals and carry them in a satchel and keeping them close to my heart. I’ve been laying low, staying indoors except to go to the market (when absolutely necessary) or to go to my father’s house (I am his caretaker and that’s also my paying job) and doing what he needs and sitting at a distance from him. My son only goes outside to play with us, or if we go to the local lake just to walk around. I am thankful for that little spot of ours. I brought both he and his dad along yesterday and they loved it. Here are some pictures from our afternoon there:

Adrian captured this picture w/ the help of his dad.

Some local dogs and their owners were strolling. Don’t worry, we kept our distance.

I’ve been keeping myself (my brain) busy by painting, drawing, reading, studying about spirituality, homeschooling (mentally draining! And reminding myself that it’s okay! This is new for both Adrian and I) his classroom goes virtual as of 4/14. Right now it’s “Spring Break.” I have also been working out at hone and joined in on an April 5lbs a week challenge via Instagram. And since I’m on the subject, I erased the app from my phone and only go on via the web browser because (never fails) every time I’ve had enough of that app I always have something pending via IG when this happens—-I feel overloaded by emotional and to be 100% honest with you? I just don’t want to see what everyone else is up to. I don’t want to know. I really don’t. Overall my emotional state and mental health is not where Id it like it to be. But I’m not wallowing either. I’m being gentle with myself. Trying to shut out all of the outside noise and keeping myself centered and grounded.

Oh! I developed a stye yesterday after the stroll around the lake 😑. So that’s that lol. How have you been?

Love & Light, Cin.

Today I want to talk to you about dreams. Actually let me be a bit more specific. I want to talk about things that can help you dream, and help you remember your dreams. Okay, much better. But please remember, that anything that you read on my blog comes from my own personal experience unless I state otherwise. I read a lot of books, articles etc. I attend group meetings depending on my interest on the subject, and share what I pick up along the way. After all, this is why I made this blog in the first place! To have a place where I can organize my thoughts, and share them with whoever stumbles upon my little blog. Got it? Okay let’s go!

I enjoy sleep. Let me put that out there lol, there are times when I can sit and daydream about going home and sleeping a good sleep. I also enjoy dreams. They are usually little movies for me. Sometimes I get messages regarding my waking life, or messages for loved ones, sometimes I get revelations, I rarely have nightmares. And for that I am thankful. I used to lucid dream, and used to hate them. But after further educating myself about lucid dreams, I actually hoped for some, but it hasn’t happened since. The irony in that always makes me shake my head.

Some people can go to sleep and go into the REM sleep stage. Rapid eye movement is the stage when you’re deep into sleep. Its in this stage that we dream. To get into this stage of sleep you usually have to sleep a certain amount of hours. Not many people sleep long enough to get to this stage, and this might be why we hear people say “I don’t dream.” This is why a good sleeping schedule is helpful if you want to dream or dream more frequently.

When you go to bed at night, you want your brain and body to focus on just that. Resting, healing, rejuvenating etc. You don’t want your brain and body to worry about digesting food. Eating right before going to bed is not a good idea in the world of dreaming. Instead of dreaming, your brain has to redirect its energy toward digesting those 6 cookies that you ate. Yes, you said you’d only eat 2. But a cookie is a cookie. It needs to be digested. Trade the cookies for the dream, lol.

Something else that helps dreaming? Is going to bed with the intent of dreaming. Think or say to yourself, “I am going to sleep, I will have a restful sleep, I will dream dreams, and I will remember them all!” It helps. Do this every night. And now the sprinkles on top? CRYSTALS! You can use crystals to aid in dreaming, sleep, and remembering dreams!

Jade: Promotes dreams and dream recall. (I realize that I photographed the wrong stone and due to my OCD I will reupload this ASAP! But I’m hungry and need to eat dinner lol. Thanks for understanding!)

Clear Quartz: Focuses the mind, aids meditation, and relieves negativity. I used this one to magnify the effects of the Jade.

Now that you’re dreaming, keep a dream Journal! I usually start on a blank page, and Title it “January” and jot down the dreams however long, short, unorganized the details—I write it all down. Its great looking back on your dreams. Something that I learned recently? Is that the colors in our dreams are also important. Try to remember if the dream was in color, black and white, what emotions you felt while dreaming or after waking up from the dream. That way you can learn to decipher if the dreams in color are the ones giving you an important message or a warning.

The problem that I was encountering was a little of both. Sometimes I would dream, and not remember the details or anything at all! Or I’d also go weeks without dreaming. I grabbed two crystals and placed them in a satchel (I charged them a few nights before under the moonlight—no specific moon phase and I set my intention on each stone. I grabbed it, placed it on my chest with my hand, and said “You will help me dream dreams, and remember those dreams.”) I placed the satchel inside of my pillow case, and slept. Nothing happened the first night. But the next one? I dreamt! And I was remembering them! I couldn’t believe how easily it happened. I will say, that I approached everything with optimism, and positivity! Remember;

Everything is Energy. Your thoughts begin it, your emotions amplify it, and your actions give it momentum.

Good luck! And sweet dreams.

Love and light, Cin.
