We all dream hundreds of dreams every night whether you are aware of them or not. If you don't remember them then that's okay, you are either a very deep sleeper or you may well be 'flying' off at night doing work on a much higher level, of which you will have no recollection of in your lower state of consciousness. If you are one of those people who can remember their dreams then you should learn how to use this to your advantage. Your dreams hold many answers to the questions you might be asking yourself in terms of any situations in which you are involved in your life.
I have so far based my articles about dreams on the significance of the feelings they conjure up on an emotional level. Now it is time to take a closer look at what is actually going on in terms of the 'props' and any actions that are taking place in your dreams.

As I mentioned in a previous article, dreams for some of us are one form of our mediumship. Certainly, this stands true for me in my case, as I do receive a great deal of advice from my guides through my dreams. It seems they have a problem getting through to me from time to time as I tend to be otherwise 'consciously' occupied and too engrossed in whatever is occupying my thoughts at that time, in conclusion, I am far easier to reach when in my sleep state. This example most probably stands to be the case too for many other people, like it or not! So why do I recognize this fact in my life when other people may not? Simple, because I have an awareness of my ability and have accepted it rather than choosing to simply ignore it exists!
This information comes to me in several different ways, for example, by their use of speech or other sounds, by showing me certain objects, symbols or any other form of imagery.

Let me give you an example to help you understand exactly what I mean by all of this. Over the past few weeks I have been working hard upon completely shifting my outlook to life as a means of re-inventing myself and my entire state of consciousness to that of a higher level than before. This is not a particularly easy task as it is natural for us in our human nature to lose focus when becoming caught up in the more trivial, 'earthly' aspects of life! Anyway, I found myself feeling quite 'spaced out' over those few weeks to such an extent where I was unable to maintain a consistent focus and concentration on any of the projects I am working upon. I felt quite lost and as though I was running into a vicious circle!

What does all of this have to do with dreams? Well, during that time I had a dream where one particular part was predominant. It was the first thought on my mind on waking up the following morning! In my dream I saw myself walking along with my hand held up high and holding a crystal of Smokey Quartz. "So what's the big deal there then?" I hear you ask! This was, in fact, very significant and important for me to acknowledge what was shown to me in this dream. I actually do some personal work with crystals and I do own a large Smokey Quartz. However, I can honestly say that prior to having this dream, I never felt drawn or attracted towards using this particular crystal in any of my work, I left it quite disregarded in fact!

Having had this dream bring my attention to the Smokey Quartz, I knew than it obviously had something of value to bring to me at this time. The first thing I did in the morning was refer to one of my books on crystals and on reading of the properties and purpose of the Smokey Quartz, I realized this crystal would be of much help to me in terms of my personal work where I was having problems in maintaining my focus and 'grounding' myself.

My basic point is, we really must learn to pay close attention to what is going on in our dreams. Look into the smaller details in terms of any objects, symbols, images even animals. They will hold great significance to you personally. Try to distinguish the object, or whatever it is you saw in your dream and familiarize yourself with its qualities, characteristics and properties, then figure out how they could be applied as an aid to a situation, problem or any circumstance you are involved in at that time.

Try to take note of your dreams by writing the details of them into a 'dream diary'. It is helpful for you, even if it makes no sense to you and you feel you have no understanding of what you are seeing in your dreams at the moment, eventually you will. However, it will only fall into place in the right time and when you are ready to see it. Trust me?!
