DREAMS

by Wunjo Moonchild

Some say it’s only a dream, implying that dreams are unreal and unworthy of attention. The many who hold this opinion are not witches. For the witch, dreams hold a great significance. Dreams are a form of transportation to magickal realms. While dreaming is more passive, it allows your subconscious to send you messages without the interference of your conscious. Dreaming is as natural to us as using any of our five senses.

Our conscious rests when we sleep and allows our subconscious to take over. Our subconscious is then free to deliver communiqués from other realms in the form of dreams. Guardians communicate in dreams, as do animal totems, ancestral protectors or ancients. Even our patron deities communicate to us through our dreams. We receive answers to petitions and messages from oracles. Glimpses of past lives and visions of the future are shown to us in our dreams.

Healing of our physical, mental, and spiritual bodies occur during our sleep time. Dreams may even speed this progression, making dreams apart of the renewal process, allowing us to cope with the stresses of each day. During our waking hours, we fill our conscious, subconscious, including our chakras, with information and bane energies from the outside world. Our dreamtime allows us to sort out this information and deal with these negative energies. Sometimes however, these negative energies affect us so deeply they remain within our chakras, causing blockages. These blockages, if left blocked and unbalanced, can result in physical illness.

Without sleep and the dream process, our physical, mental, and spiritual health suffers. Some witches would say that without dreams, we would be cut off from much needed advice and intervention from the beyond. The reason being, most of us refuse to allow channeled information to flow into our consciousness during our awake time. However, it is not impossible. Some witches have diligently trained themselves to hear their inner voice or see with their inner vision (third eye).

With sufficient sleep, the average person will dream multiple dreams every night. Most would agree, the last dream that occurs just before waking is usually the most spiritually significant and is the one most remembered.

Dreams cannot always be interpreted in the literal sense. They are fluid and are related to the element of water, full of symbolism and secret codes. Dreams can also be filled with personal languages, even inner jokes.

Nightmares, with our worst fears and suppressed memories make up the dark side of our dream life. Many magickal tools have been created and used to weed out these nightmares, tools such as the dream catcher. Spells have been written and botanicals used under our pillows to calm our minds and cast out these types of dreams.

An uninterrupted dream is like not having access to our voice mail. Dreams can carry advice and forewarnings, or protection from vigilant ancestors and guardians. The interpretation can only come from the dreamer.

Scribe the details of your dream on paper for analysis; include any feelings you have. Break down the areas you can comprehend and the areas that are jumbled. The illusive areas can be translated. This can be done through petitions of clarification or perhaps a meditation. There are many ways to seek an answer as thousands of spell books will prove. However, a simple meditation with your need in mind should allow you to reach your subconscious and perhaps the true interpretation.
