Asleep or awake, it’s important to know where we are going and the tools to get us there.
This is Ask A Witch, NYLON’s column with Indigenous healer and herbalist Napaquetzalli Martinez that answers your questions on the esoteric, the spiritual, and so much more.
In dreams, anything is possible. Obstacles are overcome, truths get revealed, and physical limitations are suspended. Although often the visions are fleeting, our dreams offer an endless inner resource for healing, growth, and manifesting our best lives.happens when we “wake up” within a dream, realizing we are sleeping despite being conscious. Depending on our lucidity, we can control our senses and even alter or direct the course of the dream.
Since time immemorial, humans have used dreams to not only to connect to unseen forces and access higher wisdom, but to inform their waking lives as well. Renowned healer Sergio Magaña explores this in his book, where he shares long buried techniques for lucid dreaming. As Magaña writes, “your dream is what you have become. Observe your life and you’ll know what you dreamed.” The truth is that the dreamworld and waking reality are two halves of the same whole.
The art of dreaming is a step in self-mastery along this path. If we can navigate and consciously travel through the astral realms, this power is mirrored in this waking reality and beyond into future lifetimes. This alignment of spirit and purpose comes from being able to master ourselves, and our actions, no matter what state of consciousness we are in. Sleep is a truly underrated medicine that heals and restores us on every level, from the physical to the subconscious.
The dreamworld is where we heal ourselves, and beyond that, it’s where we plant future goals. Visualize all that you wish to manifest or become in this lifetime. Meditate on this before bed, and imagine planting those intentions like seeds. Through dreams we work through emotions, heal ancestral wounds, and explore the scope of possibility. All of those surreal adventures and dramas we experience nightly help us grow and integrate lessons, whether we recall them or not.
