I wonder about dream work - my problem with this is most of the time I don't remember any dreams at all, apart from the odd super-dramatic one, or occasional weekends where I can sleep in for longer. Are there any suggestions to help with this? Could those stones actually help?
The stones might help, but I think people are not really understanding the point of 'dream work'. It isn't necessarily to have great dreams and dream recall, the MAIN point is to focus on an issue you want to resolve and to
write about it consistently and repeatedly in your journal before sleep and simply have the intent of working it out during sleep (in fact, the intent part isn't even necessary because the writing IS the intent).
The process does not require that you recall a dream that gives you the answer, because what you will find is that the act of thinking about and ESPECIALLY writing about your issue/problem before sleep will in and of itself help you to resolve the issue in real time. The answer might come to you the next day, or (more likely I think) you will find that your problem resolves itself naturally. It depends on what the issue is. This has been my experience of it anyway.
Writing the above reminded me of the joke about a person asking god repeatedly to let him win the lottery. After storming heaven many times, 'god' finally responds by asking him if he would be so kind as to first buy a ticket.
