Moonstone Tarot

Dreams and the dream world as a topic is one of the gateway drugs to spiritual enlightenment. When you start noticing patterns in your waking life which connect to your dreams or when you’re simply curious of the inner workings of your mind and energy when you’re dreaming, you lead yourself on a path of curiosity. Any path of enlightenment begins at curiosity and I encourage you to let your mind wander and flow which is how you’ll connect seamlessly with your intuition – in calm and flow. In still waters we can see any reflections clearly, when these same waters are disturbed then we won’t be able to perceive what might be there. In the same way with our intuition we sometimes perceive things or receive information/messages but don’t understand what they mean. You may be having a similar experience with your dreams – knowing you’re receiving messages but uncertain as how to interpret them. I commended you for reaching this far in making concerted attempts to expand your mind on the topics that interest you. 

Dreaming can be a spiritual experience in and of itself, where you may find yourself connecting with the divine or your loved ones. It’s almost like we enter another dimension – our own personal subconscious reality reflected back to us in vivid experiences. When we step into these worlds the distinction of those who have control of their mind in a focused way and those who don’t become clear. Those who have a naturally focused mind and an open third eye will be able to remember and even manipulate their dreams because they become AWARE that they are in a dream state. When our third eye is open we are awake and aware, we have seen, felt and experienced the spiritual world and we can never un-see it. Those who are experiencing issues with their third eye may forget their dreams very soon after they wake. In that regard it is important to have some quiet time to process your thoughts in the morning before you dive into your phone or begin your routine. Dedicate 2 – 5 minutes each morning to journal about what you remember about your dreams. This can be done with a physical journal or your phone – whichever method that works for you. Even just writing key words is sufficient. The key here is consistency and the discipline to do this each morning. The aim of this dedication is to better understand messages that you’re receiving from your guides. 

We are going through many energetic experiences as we dream and the veil is thinned, so keeping a pouch for crystals to put under your pillow is recommended. Make sure that you personally investigate where your chakras are at before you decide which crystals you’re using. 

For those of you who require spiritual protection (experiencing nightmares and restless sleep), I would recommend the use of amethyst. If your third eye is overactive I would recommend to use grounding crystals like red jasper or tigers eye instead. In terms of the black-coloured crystals like obsidian and tourmaline, I would never recommend placing these under your pillow or exposing yourself with daily use like on necklaces and bracelets. These crystals tend to make you feel depressed with long exposure, but they are fantastic for protection, however you should be cautious with your use. 

For those of you who are trying to remember your dreams, I would recommend to use a lot of blue and purple coloured crystals to stimulate the third eye and throat chakra. The third eye is the seat of memory so making an attempt to balance and align your third eye will be of assistance in improving your memory, focus and concentration better. Meditation is also a fantastic way you can strengthen and work with your third eye – it also helps with the other chakras as well. It’s important to remember when you’re trying to meditate is figuring out what it is you want out of your mediation. When this becomes clear then it will be obvious to you to then match the best type of mediation for your energy and healing goals. For the third eye I would recommend amethyst, moonstone, opal and for the throat chakra I would recommend blue obsidian, fluorite, amanzonite, aventurine and lapis lazuli. It is important to remember about the throat chakra in decoding your messages is that the throat chakra is about communication – which can happen in many different forms like telepathy and not just an ordinary vocal conversation. That being considered, if your centre of communication is blocked or unaligned then you will struggle to clearly understand what your guides are trying to communicate to you, both in your dreams and waking state. So if your third eye and crown chakra are open and aligned, but your throat chakra isn’t, you will be receiving messages but unable to make sense or clarity of this. 

For those of you trying to communicate or meet with deceased loved ones, I would highly recommend that you place angelite crystal under your pillow with a combination of heart chakra crystals. The heart chakra crystals are to open and balance your heart chakra because our heart space is where we connect with our loved ones. So it is important to remember that the heart chakra needs to be open if you intend to connect with a passed loved one that your heart chakra needs to be open and balanced. Issues with the heart chakra is usually the reason why a lot of people can’t understand why everyone else is dreaming of their loved one and they ‘can’t’. It is not that it isn’t possible for that person to connect or dream of their loved one, but rather likely that their heart chakra is blocked with so much grief and pain that it isn’t possible to connect at this time. 

For those of you who are attempting to balance and align your energy, try to understand what it is that you are seeking to align or balance. For example if you struggle with a blocked throat chakra, I would recommend placing a throat chakra crystal like fluorite – although an issue arrises when you are aware that your throat chakra is unaligned or unbalanced but you do not understand exactly how. Our chakras can be overactive/ under-active or blocked with excessive energy. If you know that your throat chakra is blocked, you might be inclined to place an aventurine to stimulate and open that chakra. Although if that throat chakra is blocked with excessive energy then it would be wiser to place a crystal like red jasper under your pillow because it has the opposite vibration of the throat (it is in the vibration of the root). The key in attempting to balance and align your energy is to understand exactly what is going on with your energy. Generally it would be wise to place grounding crystals under your pillow when you sleep such as tigers eye or unkanite. Since we are mingling in higher realms our upper chakras are stimulated, so focusing on the lower ones is perfect to balance out your energy. 

For those of your attempting astral travel or lucid dreaming, there’s a lot of different elements that you need to consider to safely execute astral traveling or lucid dreaming. When we part-take in these things the veil is thinned to the spirit world and it is important to ground your energy as much as possible. Using grounding crystals under your pillow like red jasper or smokey quartz is highly advised. Since you are preparing your light body to ‘leave’ or detach from your physical body, grounding is important for the return and protection of your energy during this engagement. I would also recommend that you have a dream catcher somewhere above where you sleep and to take all measures of precaution that you can. You can even place some salt at your bedside table to help absorb any lower vibrational energies. It is also advised that you cleanse your space regularly whether that be smoke cleansing, sound cleansing or through cultural/religious rituals. 

The veil can be thought of an invisible energetic curtain that separates us from the spirit world. Psychics and mediums are able to transcend the veil and contact or communicate with the spirit world. Since we have both a physical body and energetic body we are always interacting with spirit whether we realise it or not. The fact that you are reading about the veil means that you have either had spiritual or a spirit-related experience and you’re wondering how it all works or you are simply curious about how to start making communication. Understanding and conceptualising as much as you can about the spirit world will enable you to learn how to work within it. Each individual is surrounded by their own personal enclosed veil.The veil can be thinned in certain instances or by energetic vibrations. For instance when we consume mind-altering substances like alcohol or psychedelics we are usually able to connect with ourselves with less resistance. Sometimes these substances can further enable us to step away and be aware of our Ego. When we are aware of our Ego and we are able to perceive our world not only through our perspective, but also through an empathic lens of being aware of others. What is most important to consider in this instance is that you will not be able to understand how to step away from your Ego when you’re intoxicated.Instead if you already understand in your waking and conscious state how to step away from your Ego, when you consume mind-altering substances that awareness of Ego CAN be expanded. More often than not alcohol encourages the Ego, so this information is to be applied to those of you having an awakened spiritual experience. 

The veil is always thinned when we are sleeping because when our energy is still and calmed spirit can access our attention better. They don’t only communicate when the veil is thinned but they are in constant communication with us. However when the veil is thinned it gives us an opportunity to see what’s reflecting in the still waters of our mind. Our conscious mind can be very distracted and distracting which causes ripples in the water. These same waters are stilled when our conscious mind is resting as we sleep. 

Symbolism, Numerology and Colour in Dreams and their meanings 

It is important to remember as much detail as you can from your dreams as the messages are usually in the finer detail of the experiences that you are having whilst you dream. A good way to train your mind to remember more detail from your dreams is getting into the habit of recording your dreams in a dedicated journal. This way when you wake up each morning making an effort to engage with your thoughts, you will gradually start remembering more and more detail. 

There are many different symbols that can mean many different things. Animals, the elements and symbols representing an emotion/wounding or subconscious thought can all appear in your dream space. For example dreaming of a baby might indicate a prosperous new beginning because babies symbolise birth, fertility and new opportunity. There are infinite amount of dream symbols that I could list to you but I believe the most important thing to remember when you’re trying to understand what is being symbolised is that your guides will speak to you in your language. Whatever the thing or situation symbolises to you would be your best bet in figuring  out what your guides are attempting to highlight or communicate. For you personally it could be that babies symbolise anxiety, stress and a traumatic childhood. In this regard it is important to unpack your dream messages in a holistic way through considering all the different elements. The emotion that you are feeling whilst dreaming or experiencing a vivid reality speaks to how you feel about the situation. Going back to the baby example, if you feel joy and elation at the sight of the baby that may indicate that you are currently attracting that type of energy. Although if you feel fear and feelings of lack of self-confidence to take care of the baby that may be indicate deeper seeded wounding related to your childhood experiences. 

Common Dream Symbolism: 

SYMBOL	INTERPRETATION
Water	Water represents the feminine element and is related to our emotions, our inner self and our psychic abilities. Dreaming of water usually indicates that there are emotions that have not yet been dealt with that are affecting your mental clarity and perceptions.
Fire	Fire is related to the masculine element and is an uncontrollable, dangerous force. Usually when we dream of fire it is consuming something and this dream is asking you to consider what in your waking life feels out of your control.
House	Houses represent security and so when dreaming of a house the first and most important question is if you recognise the house? It could be your house, a holiday house or it might even be a hotel. If you dream a lot about being in other homes it might indicate some form of escapism.
Traveling	Traveling may indicate actual travel such as an incoming holiday/trip or figuratively represent change in your life. Things to consider are the mode of transport, the people you are traveling with and the destination.
Animals	With regards to animals, I would highly recommend you do more research about each specific animal symbol. As a general rule when you dream of an animal consider the emotion that it sparks. Whether its fear or excitement, your emotions can help you understand what the symbol means.
Falling	Dreams of falling such as being on a rollercoaster or driving uncontrollably are all examples of experiences that represent lack of control and anxiety. This indicates that there is a situation in your waking life that is currently inducing anxiety that you might not be aware of.
Food	Food has a lot of cultural meaning attached to it. In dreams it’s important to consider any cultural norms or symbolisms as well as your own emotions in the vivid experience of the dream. Usually dreaming of food is a bad sign because when you’re in the higher realms, earthly matters shouldn’t be occupying your mind. It’s an indication that your root and sacral chakra are blocked and that you are ungrounded.
Flowers	Each specific flower can have its own dream symbolism. For example, Lilys symbolise death  and so it’s important to only use this information as a guideline and always supplement with research and your own opinion.
School	Firstly, dreaming of school often may indicate there is still wounding you need to address from your school days. Secondly, school is a place of learning and so it indicates that you are learning or about to learn some important soul lessons.

Numerology is not only important and valuable to understand in dream interpretation but is useful in understanding number synchronicities you may be receiving in your waking life. Each number has its own unique vibration and can give you some depth about the situation that you’re dealing with. 

NUMBER	INTERPRETATION
1	You are on the right path, confirmation of thoughts or feelings.
2	Union, harmony and balance.
3	Celebration, commaradry and teamwork.
4	Foundations, relationships and building.
5	Ego and change.
6	Victory, success and alignment,
7	A number of the self and calls for introspection.
8	Abundance.
9	Completion of a cycle.
10	The end of a journey.

Colour is raw and transparent like emotions and is the perfect system to use in conjunction with the chakra system. Observing colour in your dreams seems like an over-simplified approach to interpretation but the key to interpretation is a holistic view. Considering all the elements you have experienced is important in understanding the full picture of the message your guides are trying to communicate. What becomes complicated about dream interpretation is that each message is personalised to how you interpret and perceive the world. So as much as this information should serve as a helpful structure, you need to first allow your own thoughts or feelings about the dream surface before you consult a book, the internet or a psychic. For example if you dream of being lost in a lush green forest, there is the fear and anxiety of feeling out of control and misdirected. The colour green is associated with the heart charka, so this dream would be indicating that there are things in your waking life that is making you feel emotionally displaced and blocking your heart chakra. 

COLOUR	Interpretation
Red	Love, lust and anger.
Orange	Fertility, femininity and creativity.
Yellow	Happiness, excitement and self-impowerment.
Green	Abundance, nature, grounding and growth.
Blue	Calm, expression and flow.
Purple	Intuition, royalty and intensity.
White	Purity, divinity and connectedness.
Black	Shadows, reflections and depth.

3. 3.Telepathy and connecting with others in your Dream state

Telepathy is a form of communication that happens exclusively within the mind. We have all experienced telepathy in some form or another especially with people we are close to. Think about when you’re thinking of someone and they call you or when you’re able to finish each other’s sentences. This happens because we allow ourselves to be on a similar vibration and are also energetically open to that person’s energy. What is really important to remember in attempting to telepathically communicate is that the other person’s energy needs to be open and susceptible to you connecting with them. We are able to do energetic things without consent although that is highly recommended against because there are consequences for engaging in things we haven’t been invited into. 

In order to telepathically communicate, your throat, third eye and crown chakra are very important. Although in whatever energetic endeavours you pursue I would always recommend approaching it from a holistic point of view, since your lower chakras also need to be open, balanced and centred in order to support your upper chakras. 

The throat chakra is about expression and communication (both received and given) and since telepathy is a form of communication this chakra needs to be open for you to both understand the messages you are receiving and to be able to clearly articulate yourself to the other person. I would recommend placing fluorite under your pillow when you sleep to support the throat chakra. Being clear about who you want to communicate with is also important as it is never a good idea to open the gates of communication to all spirit. This is dangerous because you may be inviting in lower vibrational energies in. 

The third eye needs to be open and balanced since that is the centre and the seat of awareness and psychic ability of the mind. You will receive the information in the third eye and understand it through the throat. Many people experience the issue of knowing that they are receiving communication and information from their guides, but are unable to make out what it means. This indicates that the third eye is open but the throat is blocked. For the third eye I would recommend placing an amethyst under your pillow.

The crown chakra is the centre where we connect with spirit, and when we pray, communicate with angels or pastloved ones, the crown chakra is very much activated. Since this telepathic attempt would be when you’re asleep you would be able to connect with the energy of your person’s higher self and that is where the crown chakra supports telepathy, by holding space for the soul cord or tie. I would recommend an opalite crystal to support the crown chakra. 

I would recommend doing a meditation before you sleep, this mediation should be directed at firstly connecting with the person you aim to telepathically communicate with and secondly to call your guides forward in protection. 

In order to practice telepathy, your third eye needs to be quite developed and trained and if you have a soul cord with the person, it does make it easier to connect. Regular and consistent meditation will help with the opening of the third eye. 

4. 4.Connecting with past loved ones

Many of us dream of our past loved ones and when you are dreaming of them you are actually connecting with them in your dream world. They can come to meet us either for comfort or to bring important messages, but the point is that a connection is still possible. Understanding and accepting that although your loved one is no longer on the physical plane, they are still existing. When the veil in thinned while we are sleeping it is easier for spirit to connect with us. Our past loved ones can communicate with us while we’re awake through letting us know that they are around by leaving feathers, coins on our path, flickering lights or candles. It is much easier and takes less energy for them to communicate in our dream world so it is ideal to try and understand how we can make space for and understand what they are trying to say. 

The heart, throat, third eye and crown chakra should be open and balanced to initiate and invite in this communication. The throat because that is the centre of communication. You can think of the third eye as the screen where you will be receiving and stimulating your visuals in your dreams. The crown is where we connect with spirit so it really helps support and make space for the energy of the spirit you’re trying to communicate with. A blockage in the heart chakra is the main reason why those of you who want to dream of your past loved ones but cannot seem to do. When we lose someone we deal with many different emotions and when we struggle to deal with our emotions and so they can get stuck in our chakras. Grief or lack of closure is usually the culprit for the heart chakra in losing a loved one. Playing heart chakra music while you sleep is highly recommended if you want to try and ‘accelerate’ or assist healing of your heart especially directed at connecting with your loved one. 

5. 5.How to energetically protect yourself when you’re sleeping

If you are experiencing restless and disturbed sleep it may be that lower vibrational energies are affecting and weighing your energy down. We attract at the level we are vibrating at, so if you’re feeling a little low, angry, frustrated or scared, you will attract in spirit at that vibration. It’s okay for us to be sitting in lower vibrations because life is a beautiful series of highs and lows and it would be unreasonable for us to think that we can avoid those lows. It’s important to embrace any emotions you’re feeling so that you can heal and process them. Although during this purging or process where you are energetically sensitive and vulnerable there are measures you can take to close off and protect your energy. 

A dream catcher is great especially if you experience a lot of nightmares. Cleansing the catcher or any of your tools that are absorbing energy is very important. The dream catcher, weaved like a spiders web, acts as a filter for nightmares or lower vibrational energy trying to access you in your dream state. 

In terms of crystals, black coloured crystals are ideal for protection, however I would highly recommend against keeping these under your pillow or on your bedside table since long exposure can lead to depression. Instead replace those crystals with grounding crystals like red jasper.

Shadow workers are more adjusted to the darkness and often struggle a lot with nightmares. I would recommend evaluating the root chakra as you are most likely have blockages in your root related to fear and instability that is attracting in these lower vibrational energies. 

Keeping salt on your bedside table will help draw out any negative energy. Another way you can summon protection is through intentionally calling your guides forward for that purpose. Lighting a candle and being specific about who you’re calling forward and why they are needed is recommended. When we light a lamp or candle we are inviting spirit in. After you recite your prayer or have your conversation with your guides you can then put out the candle, but as you close your eyes hold that image of the light in your mind and imagine it expanding and covering your light body.

Regular cleansing and energy maintenance is the best way you can deal with the issue of disturbed sleep. Everything in our reality is a reflection of our inner self, so when things are out of balance it is usually time for us to look inward. Focusing on your chakras in a bottom-to-top holistic approach is the best way forward. Those of us who are curious about the esoteric tend to focus on the upper chakras but it is so important to make sure that the foundations supporting those upper chakras are solid. 

6. Lucid dreaming

In order to Lucid dream, you need to have a very trained and focused third eye. It is all about awareness – when you are in the dream state and you realise that you are in a dream, that is perception, understanding and a realisation that you can control your reality. People who find to Lucid dream easily, are people who don’t struggle to see the truth because they are rational, transparent and intellectual thinkers. 

Lucid dreaming is a very valuable tool for understanding how manifestation works. It’s a realisation of immediate effects and those who are able to Lucid dream tend to be manifest quite successfully. Everyone has the potential to lucid dream but those of you with a blocked third eye, it may take more effort and preparation. 

A meditation I can recommend you do before bed in the dark is you firstly imagining yourself so that you realise that your light body is there with you. Next imagine a door forming in front of you and try to imagine the details of the door, how it feels as your touch the handle and how it feels when you open the door. As you step through the door you enter your Lucid reality and in that space you tell yourself you will return to this door in your dream state. It is all about the imaginative process. 

Some crystals I could recommend are moonstone for your intuition, lapis lazuli for your expression and red jasper for grounding. I would also suggest playing some third eye chakra music while you sleep.
