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.

📌 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:

☀️ 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. 🌑 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. 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.  WILD (Wake-Initiated Lucid Dream): Transitioning directly from wake into a lucid dream without losing awareness. 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.

Some family lore about Prophetic Dreams:

I come from a family that regularly has visions, prophetic dreams and spirit encounters, and tends to receive messages from the Other side in these manners, so growing up I was taught a few things about identifying and handling "dreams that aren't just dreams".

There is no set time to how near or far the events of a prophetic dream will be. If you're clever, you can check for yourself. While you're in the dream, reach for your phone or some other calendar and check the date. Simple as that. Otherwise, try to remember the events in the dream as detailed as possible (preferably write them down as soon as you wake up). In the dream, it's also a good idea to try to pay attention to your memory. What do you remember? how did you get there? That will also give you clues as to when and how that will come to pass.

If you want a dream to happen, the general rule is, just don't change anything. Don't tell anyone anything. Keep walking the same path. Make the same choices. You will know because you'll start to see hints of it, like dominoes falling into place. I like to jokingly call them "checkpoints" but genuinely they're more like collecting puzzle pieces to make up the big picture that is the events that you saw in your dream.

There's also the belief that a dream will become true if you tell someone before it's midday or before you break your fast. There's two possible explanations for this. One being midday burns dreams, it's harder to remember them after the sun reaches it's peak and harder to make them come true. The second, eating food grounds your Spirit on this side, which again makes it harder for you to just speak a dream into existence, your connection to it is reduced and by midday and lunch time, it is almost entirely broken. For the same reason, if you had a bad dream you're not suppossed to tell anyone until after lunch and midday, and after you've ground or cleansed yourself, disconnected yourself from it, emotionally and spiritually.

A funny way to twist bad dreams or unwanted events into a desirable future is actually speaking them twisted on purpose, with a clear head and a steady heart, of course. As usual, you speak it into being but more importantly, changing the part of it that you'd rather avoid. Tell a different story, one that you actually like. The more people you tell before midday, the better. Tell enough people, twist it enough, and you may just force the hands of fate.

Every time someone new enters my life, I brace myself. I assume I’m being manipulated, that I’ll be discarded the moment they show even the slightest interest in someone else. That’s why I’ve come to recognize the avoidant in me—how quickly I shut down, how unmotivated I feel when people try to get close. I start to believe I’m just wasting my time, my energy, my heart. “I cannot love too much”, the declaration of my upbringing echoed in my mind. I always prioritized my self-preservation, I was convinced I can't be with someone that I don't need them.

Still, I can’t help but admire how my brain protects me. It builds walls in milliseconds, shields me before I even realize I’m hurting. And yet… I know I can be better. I want to be. It’s just hard to process it all alone.

People often say, “You’re so put together, I thought you had someone.”

And I just smile, maybe they think it was a compliment for me? On the outside, everything looks easy. But inside, I’m fighting battles no one sees, wondering if anyone will ever truly understand, or if they'll just judge me, or worse… leave like the rest.

And then I had this dream.

A moment I can’t fully put into words, where I realized I was worthy of love.

It was as if a blockage cleared, like light started flowing through every vein, every part of my body. I didn’t fight for it. I didn’t perform for it. I just surrendered.

I felt like a knight who finally laid down his armor. A hero realizing the villain was once someone he loved, and choosing not to strike. A man who finally regained his memories and remembered his name.

Can I even say this much? It felt like a curse was lifted.

Like I was no longer waiting to be abandoned, but finally ready to be seen.

And maybe, just maybe, that dream wasn’t fiction. It was my soul reminding me: I am not hard to love, I just forgot what it felt like to be safe.
