Dream Interpretation Spread

What each card represents:
1. Dream Message
2. Future Influence
3. Creative Aspects
4. Day Residue
5. Matters of Hear
6. Past Influence
7. Matters of Spirit
8. Personal Power
9. Lesson

2. If laid out right (it's hard to represent it here due to lack of adequate graphics), this spread should form the shape of a circle; sort of like a clock or the pupil of an eye. Imagine that it is a manifestation of your subconscious--you've locked on to a "hypnotic switchboard" and this is the "weird" message coming through to you (if that makes sense). Each placement (as indicated above) covers an aspect of your dream symbolized by the various archetypes found in the imagery of the Tarot.

Here are the descriptions of the placements below:

1. Dream Message: This placement represents your dream as a whole; in other words, if it could be described by one theme, title, symbol, or word, this card is it. It's the Main Card. The one you should pay most attention to.

2. Future Influence: This card illustrates any future anticipations you may be feeling due to the content of the Dream Message. It represents what _might_ happen and what you can do to either encourage this outcome (if it's good) or change it altogether (if it's not what you want).

3. Creative Aspects (Inspiration): This represents the realm of fantasy, wish fulfillment, ideas, plans, perhaps even ideals which may be present in your dream.

4. Day Residue: The card that shows you whatever left over stress, work, events, situations, etc. from the day before has "leeked" into your dream.

5. Matters of Heart: Basically illustrates pleasures, heart aches, strong emotions like love and hate; all things close to your heart.

6. Past Influence: Any recent past events/situations that may have an influence on your dream.

7. Matters of Spirit: This card covers religious, mystical, and spiritual experience. It may even represent a past life influence, spirit guide information, where you're at or where you want to be at in your current spiritual path, etc. Also represents whatever divine influences/interventions or even miracles occuring in your "dream" life.

8. Personal Power: This is the card of self-esteem issues and empowerment. Generally, how you feel about yourself and how you interact with others based on this "Self Bias."

9. The Lesson To Be Learned: Basically what the title means. Our minds are always "on line." Sometimes we learn, even re-learn, things about ourselves and others through our dreams. This knowledge may help us to gain power over our obstacles. The lessons in our dreams are a part of our on-going learning process. There are lessons and secrets to be learned from the messages in our dreams...

Tarot spell for help in drawing out creative abilities, inspiration and fresh ideas.

1- The Moon

2- The Star

3- The Magician

(diagonal, side by side)

In this spell, The Moon represents the creative potential of the unconscious mind, and The Star stands for inspiration from inner planes. The Magician stands for the individual's ability to realize these potentials. This layout shows the process of drawing down these powers and channeling them.

If you wish to use accessories for this spell, purple or violet candles, crystals and gemstones, flowers, and cloth may be used, as these colours inspire creativity, intuition, and inspiration. If convenient, you may also lay some of the tools of your art or craft out in the ritual area.

This spell is best performed shortly before you are ready to begin work on a creative project. You may also perform this spell as often as you like.

Lay out the cards. First set down THE MOON. Picture yourself standing on the shore of a lake, under a moonlit sky. Imagine how refreshing it would feel to walk slowly into the water, letting it lap around your feet.

Next, set the STAR in place. Envision yourself still standing in the moonlit lake while stretching your arms upward to the sky above. (At this point stretch your arms out and make a slow, wide circular motion.) Imagine that you feel a special power- creative energy and inspiration- dropping like tears from the stars. This energy falls onto you like a gentle rain and you imbibe its essence.

Finally, lay down The MAGICIAN. Visualize yourself drawing in this energy as it falls from the sky. Feel this power being drawn by magnetic forces through your hands, your eyes, and the rest of your body.

After you have finished meditating on the cards and visualizations, carefully, and with as much feeling as you can, recite the following affirmation:

At this time and in this place
I reach forward with my mind
Into time and into space!
I reach out to times that have been,
and which shall be,
and which shall never be.
I draw in power.
I draw in images.
I draw in words.
I draw in feelings.
I draw back within myself
things that have never been seen
nor heard nor felt before.
To these images I give life
So that others know the magic,
the beauty, and the mystery
that I have sought and found
within myself and in the world a
round me, and in the far stars
strewn like jewels on the velvet black sky.
So it is and so shall it be!
You may consider the spell closed at this point, or you may close the spell as desired.
