Full Description
Don't just wake up in your dreams use that lucid space to hone your magickal practice with this book that is unlike any other dreaming guide. Nikki Wardwell Sleath teaches you how to go from spectator to active magician in your dreams. She provides everything you need to both develop your lucid dreaming ability and enhance your magick while lucid. She teaches how to improve your dreamtime divination, healing, energy work, spirit communication, shapeshifting, and more. When you achieve lucidity in a dream, you can practice ritual actions and feel their energetic effects without the constraints of the material world. You can activate pentagrams, glyphs, runes, the ogham, and more, and receive their energies firsthand. Sleath also shares spells to cast while awake that make it easier to become lucid while asleep. This book demonstrates that lucid dreaming is a metaphorical alchemy lab where you can transform your occult practice in amazing ways.
