Echoside: Phoenix Rose

One thing that I came across as a young teen was Scott Cunningham's recipe* for a prophetic dream tea. I have used that recipe for many years now with amazing results. Sometimes we cannot know the results of prophetic dreams if we are not sharing them. One of my favorite stories, a huge confirmation that some of my dreams have more to tell me than basic dream dictionary meanings is the dream about the freezer and the pizza. This happened circa 2006-2007-ish. I was attending workshops with my best friend's mom (whom I've become really close with over the years). I had dreamt that I was with her oldest daughter.

Intention setting is very powerful, not just in dreamwork, but in all aspects of goal-setting. - Do not move upon waking, stay as still as you can and reflect on what you where j...

Last week I gave the exercises of noting down feelings and symbols from dreams. This week I am sharing five nights worth of journaling. The benefits of doing this exercise for 5-7 days is definitely worth it. The following is a lot to read, but it will give a good sense with how to structure your own journal.

Dictionary meaning* : Cigarette - To dream that you are smoking or offering a cigarette signifies your need for a break. It may also points to issues of dependency.
