Incubating a Specific Magical Dream

When you have had some success with incubating (creating or growing) the type of dream that you want using the CARDS method shown on previous posts, you can then progress to developing a specifically magical dream. Do be patient with yourself, because you may not at first, find that you have created the exact environment or content you want. Gradually, however, you will find you are ‘hitting target’ more and more often.

Practice this technique at times when you know you will be able to make use of the information, record it or carry out research to resolve any doubts that may need further explanation.

1. Prepare the focus of your dream
This might be to understand a particular ritual, discover the correct incense or herb to use for best results or even to develop a new spell.

Before you go to bed, take the time to narrow your thoughts down to a single idea or query which states clearly the subject of your concern.

Do remember that although you are focusing on this single idea, you are also seeking the widest – or perhaps most important – information you can access, so this may manifest in more than one dream.

Write your idea or query down and use a visual image, such as a picture or appropriate symbol, to fix the idea in your mind. Memorize the idea or query and visual image. Try to incorporate a trigger word, sound, or symbol which alerts you to a deeper state of awareness.

Remind yourself that when you dream of that particular trigger you will know that you are dreaming. Repeat to yourself at least three times ‘When I dream of [whatever you have decided], I will remember that I am dreaming.’

2. Go to bed
It is important not to let anything else intrude on your concentration. So, without further ado, go to bed and make yourself comfortable.

3. Keep the phrase or image in your
mind
Concentrate on your phrase and image and deepen your awareness. Imagine yourself already dreaming about your query. As you become more proficient at controlling your dreams, if there is something you want to experiment with in the dream, such as flying, concentrate on the idea of being in full control.

4. Meditate on the phrase
Keep your objective in focus until you fall asleep. If at all possible, don’t let any other thoughts come between thinking about your issue and falling asleep. If your thoughts wander, just revert to thinking about your phrase and its magical significance.

5. Follow your focus
When you have begun dreaming, try to be extra - aware of matters about the issue at hand.

Do not try to take control of your dream, since you are allowing your unconscious self – that part that is in contact with all magical and other knowledge – to ‘speak’ to you through the dream. Accept that symbols and information will appear which can be sorted out afterward and allow the dream to reach its fulfillment.

Note your impressions and be aware of as much of the content of the dream as you can.

6. Keep the dream active and sustain it if you can
Remember that magical information has a language all of its own and often needs interpreting in more than one way. While you do not need to take control of the dream, you do need to trust your intuition to be aware of how much information it can assimilate. For this reason, you should learn that it is possible to go back into a dream to highlight issues that have not been fully understood.

7. Returning to the everyday
As you wake up, try to remain for a time in the hypnopompic (half-awake) state and learn to check whether you feel you have received adequate information to proceed.

Finally, rouse yourself to full consciousness, and be ready to record everything that you have learned.

8. Record the dream
Record the dream as shown previously, deciding exactly how it has answered your question or intent.
