Dream Work Ritual

To invite clearer dreams and remember them.

Before sleep, ideally across several consecutive nights.

MoonMagicx Lunar Method™ phase: Waning Crescent.

• Lavender, mugwort or chamomile in a small pouch

• Amethyst or Moonstone

• A notebook and pen by the bed

• No screens for the last hour

Put your phone across the room. Dream recall dies the moment you reach for it on waking.

Pouch under the pillow, crystal on the bedside table, notebook open with the pen on it.

Sit on the edge of the bed and say: 'I will remember what matters.'

1. Breathe slowly for two minutes with the pouch in your hands.

2. State one question you would like the dream to speak to.

3. Place the pouch under your pillow and lie down without your phone.

4. On waking, do not move or speak. Stay still and let images return.

5. Write anything at all — a colour, a word, a feeling — before getting up.

6. Repeat for at least four nights before assessing.

'I sleep to rest, and I sleep to listen.

What I need to see, let me see.

What I need to remember, let me hold.'

Nothing else. Sleep is the closing.

Reread a week of notes together — dreams speak in series more often than single episodes.

Watch for the pull to live in symbols instead of addressing the waking situation.

• What repeated across the week?

• Who appeared, and what do they represent to me?

• What is the waking version of this dream?

Do not burn herbs in a bedroom or place plant material near your face if you have allergies. Mugwort should be avoided in pregnancy.
