dreams come true

Would you like to help make your dreams come true? Well, sleep on it! There's actually a good basis for "sleeping" on a problem or concern that's bothering you. The ancient Egyptians may have been the first to develop the process of what is called "dream incubation." If someone had a problem, they would sleep in a sacred place, such as a temple, purifying themselves first, and then hope to receive an answer in a dream.
If you'd like to try this out, but you are one of us who never seem to be able to remember their dreams when they wake up, you might want to "practice" first. For two or three days, throughout the day, remind yourself that you will remember your dream when you wake up. And then, just before retiring, remind yourself again. Once you've started recalling your dreams, then you can begin the dream incubation process.
First, make sure you have a notebook or paper to write on and a pen or pencil by your bedside. Then, throughout the day, repeat to yourself your intention of what you would like to dream about. For example, "I will dream about solving the conflict at work," or "I will dream about my relationship with so-and-so." Then, before going to sleep, write the date and then your dream intention in the notebook and then repeat your intention aloud.
When you awake, jot down as many things you can remember about the dream, any images, or feelings. Do it quickly, and don't worry about it making any sense. If something is hard to describe, draw a sketch of your impressions. Later in the day, you can then go back to read your entry and start to piece it together. You can repeat this as often as you wish, as you gather more information.
This is a powerful way to tap into your intuition and subconscious creativity to help yourself in your waking life. So, sweet dreams!
