Quick Question

[jhawk1206]

I have read some material about using stones, gems, plants, etc. as a kind of catalyst for projecting, lucid dreaming, and the like. Do certain objects carry specific qualities like the literature suggests or is it mainly a matter of projecting a degree of focus into something outside of yourself?

Gemstones/crystals I have read can help with almost anything from dream recall (Which is a huge part of projecting), to helping you get out of your body. I have yet to use them and have had more projections than I can count though, while they can be an aid I would say it is not something you should have to lean or depend on. As far as plants/herbs I think typically those are used for protecting the area you are projecting in. To ward off entities and things like that.

I have never had to project my focus on anything outside of my body, more or less it is about getting into the proper state of trance and relaxation. When you are in trance state you need to relax even more.

I would say that lucid dreaming truly comes with practice. That practice involves learning to remember your dreams and mental affirmation. I have been trying for years and I am only now having a lucid dream about once a week.

However, to answer your question, years ago when I first started, I would wear a moonstone to bed. It didn't cause more lucidity, but it did make my dreams very vibrant (unless it was a placebo), which helps with remembering.

Wow, that's a pretty good list Lynn!

I keep a couple Clear Quartz Crystals next to my bed for meditation purposes. :)
