Crystals for Dreaming

Crystals For Dream Work, Dream Recall, and Lucid Dreaming

I’m an avid dreamer and I’ve kept a dream journal next to my bed for many years. Before I fall asleep, I give myself the suggestion to remember my dreams and for me, this practice has served me well.

But I also work with many people who can’t remember their dreams and are not consciously aware that their loved ones visit them in the dream state.

On a recent show of Ask Me Anything, I was asked if placing crystals under your pillow would be useful to help you remember your dreams.

Yes! Crystals can be powerful tools for dream work, dream recall and lucid dreaming!

During a lucid dream, you are more aware that you are dreaming and interacting with a loved one on the other side. Lucidly aware, you can ask questions, experimentally engage and explore the knowledge and awareness of the deceased dream figure.

Before Sleep:
1. Hold your crystal(s) and meditate for a minute on how you want your body and mind to feel while going to sleep. Send an intention into your stones.
2. Place your crystals gently under your pillow.
3. When you wake up in the morning, acknowledge the work of your crystals, thanking them for helping you achieve rest and peace.

Crystals that can help with dreams:
1. Amethyst – Amethyst is known as a stone of peace and repose. It is the perfect thing to use before bed because it calms the nervous system and the mind. Additionally, it is said to encourage sound sleep and pleasant dreams.

Amethyst is a “stone of spirituality and contentment,” making it perfect for those who wish to explore the mystical side of dreaming.

2. Moonstone – Moonstones have been used for centuries to promote restful sleep and facilitate lucid dreaming. According to tradition, moonstones are connected to the moon and feminine energy.

They’re said to help protect against negative dream states and bring about positive, restful dreams. Moonstones are often used in crystal healing practices and are believed to promote inner peace and harmony.

Many people use moonstones as part of their nightly ritual. They do so by placing the moonstones on their nightstands or under their pillows before sleeping. And, if you’re looking for a way to promote restful sleep and facilitate lucid dreaming, consider incorporating a moonstone into your nighttime routine.

In terms of dreaming, malachite can help release trauma or negativity that may hinder our ability to have positive dream experiences. Dreams are a way for our subconscious to process information and sort emotions.

If we cannot process these emotions in our waking life, they can manifest as nightmares or troubling dreams. Malachite can help to release these emotions to have peaceful, positive dreams.

In the dream state, jade can attract positive energy and helpful guides that may assist in obtaining answers or solutions from our dreams. When placed under the pillow or on the nightstand, jade can help encourage restful sleep and vivid dreaming.
