How to Work with the Angel Dreamr Oracle Carde

As a student of spirituality, you already know the impact of your thoughts and feel­ings upon your health and happiness, and the manifestation of abundance. In fact, they af­fect every area of your life. You know that the more you hold positive thoughts, the better your life flows. Yet we all have unconscious beliefs or emotions that affect our daily ac­tions. You may also unconsciously absorb other people's negativity. If you harbor hid­den negativity, you have unknowingly been blocking or sabotaging your own happiness.

* 1 *

Fortunately, our nightly dreams reveal these unconscious patterns so that we can become aware of the underlying mental and emotional causes of situations we want to im­prove, heal, or eliminate. That's why it's es­sential to notice and understand our dreams.

Many people complain that they don't dream or that they can't recall any of the content. In reality, everyone dreams nightly. However, people may not consciously recall their dreams. Dream recollection is a habit requiring patience and persistence to devel­op, and the Angel Dreams Oracle Cards can be an important tool of assistance.

Connecting with these cards on a daily basis will help your dreams become more vivid and easier to decode. Taking time to understand the symbols through study and meditation each day will allow your un­conscious mind to bring forward the ones in your dreams. The more you connect to the symbols in these cards, the more you will begin to remember and understand your dreams.

These cards were created for novice and expert alike. With the help of the an­gels, you can manifest your heart's desire.

* 2 *

Intended to be used as an oracle, this deck will familiarize you with some basic dream symbols. For example, if you see green in your dream, you can learn what this color symbolizes by looking at the "Green" oracle card and then referring to the explanation in this guidebook.

These cards will offer you the opportu­nity to explore the magnitude of the colorful world of dream journeying. You may draw one card daily or use a spread of three or more to determine future events and receive guidance, like a conscious "waking dream" oracle.

When you use this deck, you are receiv­ing messages from Source and your angels through each card you pull. Not only are these oracle cards helpful for prophecy, sup­port, and advice, but they will also attune you to your personal dream time. They'll deepen your understanding of dreams and awaken your subtle dream bodies—vital forc­es facilitated by exposure to cosmic energy at night. The more you expand and open up to your dream time, the more you're able to cre­ate and manifest the life you desire.

* 3 *

There are 55 cards in this dream deck. The number 55 imbues the deck with its vibration as the Way Shower, leader to the light. This number also contains the vibra­tion of change, whole-brain thinking, quan­tum spirituality, telepathy, clairvoyance, and ultimate freedom and oneness. Enjoy your journey!

How to Prepare Your Cardo

Hold the cards in your non-dominant hand (the hand you normally don't write with). Imagine white light pouring down through the top of your head, through your heart, down through your arm, and into your hand. Let your hand hover above the deck while you "see" or imagine all ener­gies washing away into a vessel below it. You can imagine any container you like catching these energies from the deck. This receptacle transmutes all energies into love and light. As you clean, clear, and consecrate your cards, know that you are also empowering them.

Next, say a blessing while holding the deck to your heart. You may say something

* 4 -*

such as: "Divine Love and Light, please help me receive and understand the messages of the cards clearly, for the highest good of all. I give thanks and gratitude for your guidance and protection."

Caring for Your Cardo

Store the cards in a lovely pouch, on your altar, or in a container that feels ap­propriate. You may want to set a clear quartz crystal atop the deck to keep the energy clean. If you feel your readings have become hazy, you can always clear your cards by vi­sualizing them bathed in white light. You should also do white-light visualizations if someone else touches the cards, because that person's energy will alter how they respond to you. These are sensitive instruments, and you want them to be filled with your own high-vibrating, clean energy whenever you do a reading.

* 5 *

How to Do a Reading

Say a prayer or blessing to begin. Ask a question out loud or in your mind as you shuffle the cards. Spread them out or fan them, and choose one card at a time with your dominant hand. Lay it in front of you (see the "How to Lay Out the Cards" section to follow). Turn the card over and feel, hear, see, and intuit its meaning in relation to your question. You may refer to this guidebook for basic interpretations.

If you're reading for someone else, say your prayer or blessing first. You may do so out loud, before the person arrives, or silent­ly. Then you may want to state: "This read­ings is for[name]."

Have the person ask a question out loud. Pull the cards for him or her, or use the spreads listed in the next section. It is always a good idea to keep a journal of your read­ings, as messages for others do usually weave together with those for you.

Sometimes cards "jump" out of the deck while you’re shuffling. These cards are try­ing to get your attention. They're part of your reading, or perhaps the entire reading. In any

* 6 *

case, know that they're important messages to be heeded.

Upon awakening in the morning, you may want to refer to some of the symbols in the deck if you need a reference for the im­ages from your dreams during the night. This deck comprises basic dream symbols that can help you interpret and understand the con­tent of your personal dreams.

The herb and crystal cards can also be a tool to focus your mind before sleep. By meditating on these cards, you can manifest the topic you dream about. For example, if you focus on the hawthorn card before bed­time, you can dream about a future situation, because you are connecting to the qualities and energies of hawthorn. This connection acts as a key that brings forward prophetic dreams. And the selenite card, for instance, can help you recall your dreams. Meditate or focus on it before bedtime. When you tune in to this card, the crystal's qualities and en­ergies will help you remember your dreams upon awakening.

Get to know the cards by pulling a daily, weekly, or monthly card. Sit with its energy or meditate upon the picture on the front.

Place a card on your altar. You might even want to put one under your pillow at night to bring in deeper understanding.

How to Lay Out the Cardd

One Card

A single card can be used for several pur­poses:

Poychic Abilities Behavior Patierno

Astral Travel

Vital Force Information

Dream-Time Soul Travel

This card is telling you that it is time to expand your horizons. Perhaps you need to travel to experience a foreign culture or learn a new subject. Possibly you need to widen your circle of friends.

This card also lets you know that you're receiving vital information for your well­being. Astral or soul traveling—an out-of- body experience in which your astral body travels to another place or dimension—occurs

* 21 *

when you are between the "asleep" and "awake" states of being. Your astral body, or dream body, is filled with sparkles, like a thou­sand tiny stars and universes.

Additional meanings:

• It is time to feel your greater sense of purpose and focus on the bigger picture.
• Your astral body needs a charge. Go outside to stand beneath the stars and the beautiful moon, allowing yourself to absorb this cosmic energy.
• You need a break or vacation.

If you cannot travel right now, choose a place you would like to visit and pick up some books to study that location and culture.

• You've been gaining knowledge through out-of-body experi­ences. Call in protection and
• 22 *

release your fears about astral traveling.

A positive change is coming.

Use dream time to accomplish a specific goal.

* 23 *

Autumn

Abundance Preparation Harvest

* 24 »

Additional meanings:

• Tune in to your mother/father aspect, which represents a fulfilled protector who is ripe with wisdom, stable, powerful, and giving. Foster the mother/ father within yourself or someone else.
• It is time to engage in the study of ancient wisdom, sacred knowledge, and mysteries.
• Gather your resources in preparation for a transition.

+- *

* 25 *

Bathroom

Cleanse

Clarify

This card calls for you to release burdens and cleanse yourself of toxins. The bathroom is a private place that allows you to wash up and get prepped. It could be time to cleanse your habits. Perhaps you're transferring all of your junk onto others, or they are unburden­ing theirs on you. Pay attention to feelings you might be harboring inside. It is time to release them. But take care not to unload them onto someone else.

* 26 »

This card also represents clarification. When you rid yourself of unwanted attitudes and feelings, you become more grounded. Your focus becomes sharper, and your mind clears out clutter.

• You need time alone.
• Allow yourself to release toxic energy, relationships, or situations.

* 27 *

Blue

Communication

Inner Truth

This card asks you to empower your­self by seeking your inner truth, emotional calmness, or creative expression. You need to communicate who you are. It's time to accept your (and others') originality and unique­ness. Don't worry how people might view you. Jump into your creative expression. You don't need anyone's approval. If you seek it, your inner truth is being stifled. A clue that this imbalance exists is feeling compelled to prove your views are right. Another clue

* 28*

is the inability to share your thoughts and opinions, and harboring feelings of inad­equacy. Blue is the color of the throat chakra, representing communication.

Blue merges your individual conscious­ness with the universal consciousness. It ups the ante on creativity. Discover your authen­tic voice and speak your truth. Challenge your views. Look at the beauty in the world's religions and philosophies. Go beyond your cultural allegiances. This exposure will pro­vide you with keen insights and help you stay open to the many pathways of life. Your creativity will expand a hundredfold.

Additional meanings:

• Archangels Michael, Metatron, Raguel, Sandalphon, and Gabriel are associated with this symbol.
• It's time to vocalize your thoughts, concerns, or intentions.

- 29 *

Release stress and strengthen your voice by surrounding yourself with the color blue.

Recall which images were blue in your dream, as this will be a clue to areas of your life that need emotional expression or calming influences.

Blue represents a connection with other planets or star systems.

# 30 *

Dancing

Self-expreMum Movement

The time to dance is now. You need to move your body, expressing your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual self. Move vigorously, sway gracefully, or jump around. Dancing is a universal language of body, mind, and soul that allows you to balance your chakras, release pent-up emotions, and give yourself an outlet for joy. Let your in­tuition guide your movements. Dance to ex­ercise and ground yourself; to give thanks, gratitude, and blessings; and to express Spirit.

Discover the messages your body is relaying to you through movement.

Additional meanings:

• Archangels Gabriel and Raphael are associated with this symbol.

Additional meanings:

• Work with this card to see through the veil of illusions so that you may be clear on those things that matter most to you.

all will be revealed in Divine timing for the greater good.

Go with the choice that makes you feel happier, even if it's a seemingly difficult change.

Have courage during this time of tran­sition. Know that all is well.

This gem resonates with your sacral chakra, which re­lates to physical desires.

This card encourages you to do things that help you feel sensual. Listen to music,

Food

Nourishment Relationships Health

Fuel your body, mind, and emotions with healthy sustenance and situations. This card invites you to take a look at the state of your surroundings and relationships. Who is feeding you? Are you being fed honesty? Per­haps you are not able to "digest" the habits you feed yourself. Take time to look at your career to see if it is fulfilling you. Evaluate your workplace and home. Unhealthy peo­ple and environments can cause your body

Completion

Culmination

A stage in your life, or a particular cir­cumstance you have been dealing with, is now coming to fruition. Completion ushers in another beginning. Therefore, a new day is about to dawn.

This card is also letting you know you are at your peak of power and clarity, rep­resented by one of the moon's aspects—the wise woman. That wise part of yourself is inviting you to understand life on a grander scale. You can see the bigger picture if you

• Archangels Haniel, Jeremiel, and Raziel are associated with this symbol, as are Mother Mary and the goddess Kuan Yin.
• Banish unwanted influences.
• You are pregnant with ideas and creativity (or with an actual child).
• This is a perfect time for divination.

Gardening

Manifesting Planting Reaping

Plant a physical garden or the seeds of your desires. This card symbolizes the sow­ing and reaping of manifestation. It is time to start gardening—physically, mentally, emo­tionally, and spiritually. Share your desires with God and the angels. Let them know what your heart yearns for. But do not be idle. Take action by using visualization and manifestation techniques. Do affirmation work.

Green

Companion Love

Cultivation

When this card appears to you, it's time to ask yourself what needs healing in your life. Keep your heart open, and be compas­sionate toward yourself and others. Allow love to weave a beautiful tapestry within your heart, expanding your senses. Then you will start to see it all around you, in every person and life-form. You'll begin to re­spond and communicate lovingly. You'll feel lighter, happier, and free of burdens. Green

* 57 *

asks you to open to self-love now and culti­vate a relationship with yourself. This color is associated with the heart chakra, which in turn represents healing, growth, love, and nurturing.

Green also represents communicat­ing from the heart. Trust yourself and oth­ers. Keep faith that your heart will not lead you astray. Love is a compass. If you're un­balanced in your heart chakra, compassion is what you need to be employing, not em­pathy or sympathy, as these drain energy. If you offer others help out of obligation, shame, guilt, or fear, you'll burn out. You need to allow yourself to receive. Foster a safe and supportive environment by releas­ing judgment. See the world with the eyes of your heart. When you do, you'll feel vitality returning to you.

Additional meanings:

• Archangels Raphael, Chamuel, Metatron, Zadkiel, and Jophiel are associated with this symbol.

* 58 *
