:: Dream Pillows

    The Divine Spirit of God and those dear to us who have passed, communicate with us through our dreams.
If you cannot remember your dreams, dont alarm, this happens to all of us. Simply ask God before you fall asleep to help you remember them, and you will.
If you enjoy working with your dreams or simply want to encourage more interesting ones, try making a dream pillow.
All you need is some fabric, needle and thread, and some herbs. Make sure it's a fabric with a fine weave, or the herbs will leak out. Natural/organic is always best! (Muslin, linen, cotton, etc)

.Cut 2 squares of fabric (4-5" across).
.Place them together with the good sides on the inside. (if it has a design it should be on the inside)
.Sew around the edges, closing up 3 sides. (you should have created a square bag or pocket)
.Now turn your "dream pillow" rightside -out so the good sides are on the outside.
.Stuff with herbs, and sew the final side.
.Don't fill too full. It should lie fairly flat under your pillow.

Herbs for peaceful sleep:

* Lavender
* Chamomile
* Valerian (Use sparingly. Smelly)
* Thyme
* Vervain

Herbs for psychic dreams:

* Mugwort
* Chamomile
* Sandalwood
* Jasmine
* Lemongrass


How to use

Just place your herbal dream pillow under your pillow or inside the pillow case at night. And Sweet Dreams!

*Remember not to let your dream pillow go through the wash with the rest of the bed linens.
