Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Who hasn't fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Who hasn't dreamed of being the homecoming queen? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful, or happy in our relationships?

Are you dreaming your life with over the top aspirations?  Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that – dreams.  Our aspirations easily collect dust in our attic and we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing.

But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher.

The most common problem to setting goals is the word impossible. Most people get hung up thinking I can't do this. It's too hard. It's too impossible. No one can do this.

If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you deem impossible. If you reach too far out into the sky without working towards your goal, you will find yourself clinging on to the impossible dream.

Try this exercise. Take a piece of paper and write down some goals in your life. Under one header, list down things ‘you know you can do’. Under another header, write the things ‘you might be able to do.’ And under one more, list the things that that are ‘impossible for you to do.’

Now look at all the headers and strive every day to accomplish the goals that are under things ‘you know you can do’. Check them when you are able to accomplish them. As you slowly are able to check all of your goals under that heading, try accomplishing the goals under the other header-the one that reads ‘you might be able to do.’

As of the items you wrote under things I could do are accomplished, you can move the goals that are under things that are ‘impossible for you to do’ to the list of things ‘you might be able to do.’

As you work through this process, you will find out that the goals you thought were impossible become easier to accomplish and the impossible begins to seem possible after all.  Dreaming your life to what you want to be is now starting to materialize.

You see, the technique here is not to limit your imagination. It is to aim high, and start working towards that goal little by little. However, it also is unwise to set a goal that is truly unrealistic.

Don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations. Think big and work hard to attain those dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you will just about find out that the impossible has just become a little bit more possible and dreaming your life is living that dream.

Many people have huge dreams and aspirations that never manifest. All of us are competent of doing great things, but need to plan in order to achieve it. Planning definite objectives may help you attain what you want and give you direction on where you want to go. If you want to manifest your dreams, it should start with you. There must be preparation, a set of aims, and work for your dreams to come true.

Here are some guidelines to help you manifest your dreams:

• List your desires – write down all your plans and the things you want to fulfill. Putting things into writing serves as your road map to achieve your goals.
• Envision the fulfillment of your goals - acquire time to reflect on your goals. Visualize, and feel the joy of having achieved your objectives. Make it as real as possible.
• Get hold of every opportunity – be aware of every opportunity that will come your way because it may lead to the fulfillment of your desires.
• Don’t be scared to fall - when trying to manifest your dreams, failing may turn out to be your friend. Failure gives you motivation and to keep on trying until you reach your goals.
• Be patient – remember that on your road to achieving your desires, you will encounter some hindrances that might stop you from reading it but just keep on moving and be patient. Everything will fall into places at the right time.
• Most of all continue to hope and pray. Prayer is powerful, but you have the control to manifest your dreams.

So start believing yourself and take action!

dreams of traveling

I am still dreaming and it is one thing in life that we can say is really free.  In the midst of life's journey people can still find hope and motivation from their dreams without having to pay anything for it.

As for me, I dream about my dream house, traveling to foreign lands and everything else that I am concerned about in my day.  I dream of what is happening around me, what I want for myself in the future and how to overcome obstacles and/or motivate myself to make these dreams a reality.

Dreams do not have to be realistic and I believe you can still dream anything you want to even if you feel it is unattainable, because in life if people didn't have those kinds of dreams nothing would ever have been invented.  Dreams are important for they can be motivators for our own goals.  Without dreams, people are without a hope for the future.  That is why I believe that people should be still dreaming of things that they really want for themselves, no matter what that is.

In spite of events that happened last year, from the financial crises that has struck almost every household in some way, and the environmental problems that continue, to the general hassle of living an everyday life I am still dreaming good things into my life.  You see, when I dream it makes me feel more alive, for in dreaming I have reason to live,  I am optomistic about my life, I have a goal to accomplish and a world to explore.

When you are more experienced with controlling your dreams you can then work towards a more advanced level of awareness and enhancing the experience of your dreams by using healing crystals. We all dream but most of us don't have any control of what we do dream.

Dream enhancers have been used for hundreds of years for enhancing experience of these dreams.  Healing crystals are natural and can influence your physical and emotional energies during sleep as well as when awake.

They can be small enough to put under your pillow or by your bedside or even wear them around your neck.   I love crystals and always choose ones that I am drawn to as I believe they are the ones you need.

In the past I have often been drawn to Quartz, both clear and rose, but lately Amethyst is my choice.  Knowing why you are drawn to these particular healing crystals is important to help you decide what to buy.  For many years I carried around a Citrine crystal in my handbag to help me release stress and tension in my awake hours so choose one that relates to the concerns you are having for your bedside as well.

When you go to bed at night take your healing crystal in your hands and try to go to a place deep within you.  Feel the energy of the crystal protect and strengthen you from top to toes.  Think about the concern you are having and send it to the crystal to resolve.  In the morning record that dream to interpret and I am sure you will feel that that concern you had has lessened or dissolved or you know the solution now.

For a excellent ebook on healing crystals I recommend Chakra Crystal Healing.

I went looking for a dream herb, one that would enhance my dream experience, and what I found were herbs that promised vivid dreams.

These are the ones I thought worth looking into:

Dream Herb or Calea Zacatechichi seemed to show the most promise. This herb has hallucinogenic properties and results have shown that it enhances the number and recollection of dreams.  It is one that is crushed and dried and smoked and/or taken as a tea.  The taste is bitter so many prefer to smoke it.  It is a legal substance in the US except for Louisiana.

Other herbs that can be used are African Dream Herb also known as Silene Capensis which as the name implies comes from Africa. The root is used to induce vivid and sometimes prophetic dreams and is used by Shamons in their initiation process. African Dream Herb is like Dream Herb in that it produces similar changes in consciousness.

Another hallucinogenic herb from Africa is Iboga or Tabernanthe iboga which grows in the rainforest.  In its original state the bark of the root is chewed and has a bitter taste and gives an anesthetic affect on the mouth.  When taken in large doses it can visions.  In the United States Iboga is classified by the Controlled Substances Act.

Mugwort or Artemisia Vulgaris is another herb that was used historically in herbal medicine and was often smoked.  It is not used these days because of toxicity worries and once the herb is cooked the plant loses its hallucinogenic affect.  Also it was believed that placing the herb inside the cover of a pillow and sleeping on the pillow can induce vivid dreams.

The other herb worth mentioning is Diviner's Sage, also known as just Salvia which is a psychoactive herb which can induce strong dissociative effects. These effects are only short lived but the good after affects include insight and calmness and elevation of mood . Salvia is currently legal in most states of the US.

If you decide to use any of these dream herbs please research them carefully and look for any contra indications for any medication you may be taking.

Even babies dream and a dreaming baby has rapid eye movement that you can see and it is also shown by the changing expression on their faces.  It would be amazing to find out what a dreaming baby is really dreaming about.  Are they dreaming of food and warmth or of things to come in their lives?  They do need sleep though to develop their growing brains.

Your children's dreams may be a way of fulfilling a wish to do something like ride that elephant or they may be sorting out a problem they have had in the day in a very simple way or the dream  may be helping them bridge a fear or problem that they are finding hard to express.

Monsters are probably a very common bad dream children dream about and of course they always appear in the dark.  Your children's dream could mean that they cant face something like an emotion like jealousy of a new baby in the house or it could be something they are trying to escape from rather than face like problems at school.  Talk to your child the next morning but remember that they don't always remember their dreams.  Reassure them that dreams aren't real and cant hurt them.

We all need to sleep and that applies to children too.  When we sleep we dream, and who is to say that dreaming isn't one of the main reasons why we sleep.  Children spend more time than adults sleeping so not only do they need more time to rest their

This is a lovely poem about Guardian Angels and I think it really explains their role.  They are always there in our lives so why not talk to them each day and thank them for their guidance, support and comfort.

Always remember that if you need help in some way ask your Guardian Angel and he/she will help you.   May you also have the wisdom to follow their advice.  You won't hear their voice as such but you will receive their message.  Listen to these messages carefully.

Your Guardian Angel

You have a Guardian Angel
Who watches over you -
Everywhere you go
And everything you do.

This gentle, silent helper
Is there to be your guide
To shelter and protect you,
And for you to walk beside.

Your Angel will always help you
Whenever things go wrong,
They'll be the wings beneath your feet
As Life's path you walk along.

Feel this calming presence -
Be enfolded by its love
And let your life be guided
By a power from above.

The author seems to also enjoy dreams like I do and I am very pleased that Stumble Rumba wrote such a quirky and upbeat review of Dream Town. I must say she shares a great slant on life and the web in her reviews.  She talked about three posts in particular which were Are you having nightmares, Dream catchers for dream control and Who else wants to Astral Travel.  Stumble Rumba really has a good grasp of what I am trying to convey in these posts and this is shown especially by her references to her own personal experiences.

I recommend that you have a look at the other reviews at Stumble Rumba as I have done as I found that her enthusiasm about her subjects is infectious.  She doesn't always review sites favorably and she has a category called Fumbles for the sites she doesn't like (luckily Dream Town isn't one of them). I really like the posts on Tattoo Designs as the tattooed tongue is incredible (and I'm sure excruciatingly painful to have done) or the article on Free Tarot Readings which I am very interested in also.  They are just two that caught my attention so have a look at the others too.

Don't pass up checking out this very colorful review site as you will find the entertainment value alone is worth it and you might even get hooked on Stumbleupon like many of us are.  Thank you Stumble Rumba for the thumbs up.

Setting your dream mood will result in better sleep and control of your dreams.  Our dreams send us messages and they can affect us intensely.  Being in the right state of mind when we go to sleep can help us get these messages more clearly and help our minds to get to stay in that unconscious state longer (for those of you who have trouble staying asleep).

The first step is preparing yourself for sleep.  Try and make sure there are no outside noises such as TV, music or other loud sounds as these may be incorporated in your dream and affect the right dream mood you are trying to achieve. Noises can also jolt you out of dreams eg when the alarm goes off in the morning. You will go to sleep in a more relaxed state if you are in a safe and welcoming place and there is quiet or soft background music playing.

Your feelings and emotions in your dreams are experienced by real responses by your body so it's important to establish a good dream mood before you go to sleep.  With less distractions this will allow you to drift off to sleep with the right mind set. Try and relax yourself before going to bed and avoid arguing with your partner/family or have your mind be too stimulated just before bedtime.  Close your eyes and take some slow deep breaths to relax you.

Tell yourself that you are going to have a better sleep and you will be able to remember your dream when you wake.  Your dream intention is very important so think about what you want to dream about during the day and just before you close your eyes.  This will greatly enhance your experience and help you set a good dream mood in advance.

Dream catchers

Many New Age believers view dream catchers not just as a tool to collect good dreams and eliminate bad ones, but also to help us understand our dreams.  They help to hold good visions, ideas and opportunities to achieve dreams and goals so they concentrate good energy and neutralize negative energy. Throughout history, people have placed importance on the meanings of their dreams and today they are still a powerful force in our lives.

Dream catchers for dream control are hung near where you sleep and if your dreams get too traumatic you can lay them down flat to stop those dreams.  Dream catchers for protecting sleeping children from nightmares were traditionally used by Native American Tribes.  Many people though just use them as  art for their walls but if you want to protect yourself from bad dreams or  nightmares then use an authentic one like you can find at AAA Native Arts Gallery.
