Psychic 101: Remembering Your Dreams

As a psychic and intuitive coach, one of the most common questions I get from clients is, "how can I access my intuition?"

Most people tell me that they do not hear from their guides/angels and do not think they can communicate with their soul. While it is my firm belief that every person can communicate with their guides and higher self, I am aware that spirit guides (angels) communicate in the way that is best for each individual.

If filling your field of sight with a surround-sound vision of your "future" is going to terrify you, your guides will not reach you through full sensory visions. If you believe it is evil or satanic to hear voices from another realm than your guides will not reach you that way either.

In truth, most intuitive experiences come subtly when we are in a calm and receptive state. Due to the structuring our our society, many of us struggle to reach this open, receptive, and clear minded-state-of-being when we are awake. Luckily we do not have to be awake to access our higher mind.

Beyond Angel Numbers, one of the simplest ways to access our intuition is to remember our dreams. With the exception of those who have had a stroke, all humans dream. If you believe you do not dream, or have difficulty remembering your dreams, try this activity. Thursday's full moon makes this week an excellent time to remember your dreams.


REMEMBERING YOUR DREAMS 

PREPARE: Gather a notebook, a pen or pencil, and a small candle (or dim source of light) to keep at your bedside while you sleep. Place them at your bedside.

ASK: As you fall asleep, pray/ask/or set the intention to remember your dreams. If you are comfortable doing so, ask to be woken up after each dream (this will likely result in waking up every 90 minutes).

WHEN YOU WAKE UP: Whether you wake up in the morning, or the middle of the night, DO NOT open your eyes. With your eyes still closed, take yourself back to the dream you were just having. Invite yourself to remember whatever details you can without "needing" to remember everything. When you feel you've adequately explored the dream, open your eyes. If possible, do not get out of bed or turn on a bright light (consider lighting a candle instead).

WRITEOpen your notebook. Don't worry about penmanship. Write the date and time. Next begin writing whatever you can remember about your dream. Focus on visuals, emotions, and any dialogue that comes to mind. New dream memories may come to light. If you feel like you're making these memories up, you are probably not. The activity of writing expands your memories and impressions of the dream. Don't judge what you are remembering. Write whatever comes to mind. If it's helpful, sketch a timeline of events or even draw images of what you saw.

THANK: When your writing comes to a natural end, express gratitude for the opportunity to remember your dreams.

REPEAT: For best results, go back to sleep and repeat this through the night, or during your next nights sleep.


The first night I did this I wrote down one dream. The second night I awoke to write four dreams. The third night I awoke five times to record almost a dozen dreams. Now, one year later, I no longer need a dream journal. I awake almost every morning remembering my dreams. Practicing my ability to tap into the subconscious has helped me hone and expand my intuition. I hope it will do the same for you.
