THE MIRROR BOOK AND DREAM BOOK

THE MIRROR OR MAGICAL DIARY.

IN IT RECORD ALL THOUGHTS & FEELINGS ABOUT WICCA, POEMS, RESULT OF MEDITATION

& DIVINATION READINGS, MAGICAL SUCCESSES & FAILURES, DOUBTS, FEARS, YOUR

ANALYSE OF SIGNIFICANT DREAMS, EVEN MUNDANE CONCERNS. THIS BOOK IS FOR YOUR

EYES ONLY. NO ONE NEED EVER READ IT, THIS BOOK BECOMES A MIRROR OF YOUR

SPIRITUAL LIFE & AS SUCH IT IS QUITE VALUABLE IN ASSESSING YOUR PROGRESS IN

WICCA AS YOU BECOME YOUR OWN TEACHER, YOU WILL NOTICE PROBLEMS OF A SIMILAR

TYPE OCCURRING AGAIN & AGAIN & WILL TAKE STEPS TO RESOLVE THEM WITH THE

KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE GAINED. DATE EACH ENTRY, INCLUDE THE MOONS PHASE, YOUR

STATE OF MIND & HEALTH,[ EVEN A COLD CAN AFFECT YOUR NORMAL THINKING.] & MOST

IMPORTANT THE WEATHER & ANY MUNDANE PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT BE INTERFERING WITH

YOU SPIRITUAL LIFE.

AFTER EACH LESSON NIGHT WRITE DOWN ANY FEELINGS YOU HAD & THOUGHTS ON THE

LESSON, NOW IS THE TIME TO FORMULATE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY WISH TO ASK NEXT

LESSON NIGHT.

DO THE SAME WITH EACH FESTIVAL YOU ATTEND, DATE, WEATHER CONDITIONS, PHASE OF

MOON, LIST THOSE WHO ATTENDED, DID YOU ENJOY THEIR COMPANY, HOW DID YOU FEEL

ABOUT THE RITUAL? DO THE SAME FOR ESBAT & INITIATIONS & ANY SOCIAL GATHERING

WHETHER IT IS CONN ECTED TO COVEN OR FAMILY & FRIENDS.

DREAMS & THE DREAM BOOK.

EACH NIGHT WE DREAM BUT WE DREAM UNAWARE. IF WE DO BECOME AWARE OF A DREAM

IT MAY BE ONLY AS A PASSIVE BYSTANDER WATCHING EVENTS TAKE PLACE & RARELY DO

WE DISCUSS REMEMBERED DREAMS WITH A FRIEND OR LOVED ONE.

IN A WICCAN GROUP SITUATION USUALLY THE LESSON NIGHT A REMEMBERED DREAM SUCH

AS THIS CAN BE EXPLORED IF YOU SO WISH IT.

WE DO NOT USUALLY CONSIDER THE THIRD OF OUR LIFE SPENT ASLEEP AS AN

OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF DISCOVERY & WE HAVE NO PSYCHOLOGICAL OR CULTURAL

MECHANISM FOR ALLOWING THE DREAM CONSCIOUSNESS TO ENRICH OUR LIVES.

ONE HAS TO PROGRAMME YOURSELF EACH NIGHT JUST BEFORE SLEEP TO REMEMBER YOUR

DREAM CLEARLY & WITH OUT EMOTION. WITH WORDS SUCH AS THESE:

I WILL REMEMBER MY DREAMS IN GREAT DETAIL, IT WILL NOT DISTRESS ME ON ANY

LEVEL & I WILL AWAKE REFRESHED.

KEEP YOUR NOTE BOOK & PEN NEXT TO THE BED WITHIN EASY REACH, WHEN YOU AWAKE

BEFORE SPEAKING OR DOING ANY THING ELSE JOT DOWN YOUR DREAM BRIEFLY OUTLINE

THE PLOT, THEN FILL IN ANY DETAILS REMEMBERED, OFTEN OTHER DETAILS WILL COME

LATER IN THE DAY, AS YOU GO OVER IT IN YOUR MIND.

THE DREAM IS LATER COPIED INTO THE DREAM BOOK WITH THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.

DATE, WEATHER CONDITIONS, MOONS PHASE, STATE OF MIND & HEALTH, EMOTIONAL

STATE DUE TO MUNDANE PROBLEMS, APPROXIMATE TIME OF RETIRING, ANY PROMINENT

SYMBOLS, COLOUR OF DREAM , ETC.

REMEMBER ANY MEDICATION, DRUGS, ALCOHOL, COFFEE, COKE, MILO, COCOA, OR CEYLON

TEA MAY EFFECT YOUR DREAM MEMORY OR DISTORT IT.

ALWAYS BE HONEST ABOUT YOUR DREAMS, NEVER LEAVE OUT SEXUAL OR GORY DETAILS,

YOUR DREAMS HAVE A LOT TO TELL YOU, LISTEN CAREFULLY.

AT THE END OF EACH MONTH REREAD YOUR DREAMS FOR THAT MONTH, [ YOU MAY WISH TO

GO BACK FURTHER, DO SO.] YOU MAY SEE A PATTERN EMERGING, THIS MAY BE DUE TO

ILL HEALTH, OR OTHER UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS.

DREAM STATES CAN ALSO BE USED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS SUCH AS WHEN DOING RE

INCARNATION WORK.

LATER YOU WILL COME TO RECOGNISE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DREAM STATES.

WE HAVE TO LEARN TO PERCEIVE OUR DREAMS CLEARLY, REMEMBER THEM, RECORD THEM &

ANALYSE THEM, FOR IN THEM LIES THE KEY TO THE FUTURE, THE PATTERNS OF THE WAY

FORWARD & THE OUTCOME OF OUR MAGICAL ACTS.

KNOW THYSELF IS THE KEY TO LIFE. IT IS ALSO THE KEY TO UNRAVEL PAST MISTAKES

& BURIED HURTS.

THIS INFORMATION IS GAINED THROUGH DREAM SYMBOLS, WHICH WE OURSELVES CAN

INTERPRET & ANALYSE. ONCE YOU CAN ACKNOWLEDGE AT LEAST TO YOURSELF, YOUR

FEARS & FAILINGS, YOUR NEEDS & OBJECTIVES, ALL OF WHICH IS CLEARLY REFLECTED

IN YOUR SLEEPING VISIONS, O NLY THEN CAN WE HEAL FROM WITHIN.

ONLY YOU CAN JUDGE THE VALUE & WEIGH UP THE MATERIAL WHICH IS GIVEN YOU

DIRECT FROM THE UNCONSCIOUS REGIONS OF YOUR MIND. GROUP DISCUSSIONS CAN OFTEN

TRIGGER DEEPER MEANINGS WITHIN SELF.

YOU WILL HAVE TO NOTE DOWN HOW YOU DREAM, IN FULL COLOUR OR PARTIAL OR BLACK

& WHITE?

DAYLIGHT OR NIGHT SCENES? OUTSIDE OR WITHIN BUILDINGS?

CLEAR OR MISTED? WERE YOU INVOLVED OR AN OBSERVER OR BOTH AT THE SAME TIME?

DID YOU WALK OR RUN OR FLY OR DID YOU JUST APPEAR WHERE YOU WANTED? ARE YOUR

DREAMS SIMILAR? DO YOU OFTEN DREAM OF THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW? WHEN YOU DREAM OF

STRANGERS DO YOU FE EL YOU SOMEHOW RECOGNISE THEM? ARE YOU OFTEN THREATENED

IN A DREAM?

ARE YOUR DREAMS NARRATIVE ADVENTURES OR SYMBOLIC IMAGES WITH STRANGE UNFORMED

SHAPES WHICH ARE HARD TO DEFINE. DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT WAS SAID & IF SO DID IT

MAKE SENSE WHEN YOU AWOKE. DO YOU OFTEN DREAM OF NUMBERS?

ARE YOUR DREAMS BRIGHTER AT FULL MOON & DO YOUR DREAMS CHANGE FORM DURING ITS

DARK PHASE?

YOU WILL HAVE TO EXPLORE LANDSCAPES, SYMBOLS ETC DURING FOLLOW UP

MEDITATIONS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WERE EMOTIONAL UPON AWAKENING OR VAGUELY

WORRIED OR FEARFUL. ONLY MEDITATION WILL GIVE YOU CLUES AS TO WHY & SHOW YOU

HOW TO COPE WITH THIS TYPE OF NIGHT LY VISION.

IT IS A RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTION TO REMEMBER DREAMS & MANY MEN IN PARTICULAR SEEM

TO LIVE SO MUCH OF THEIR LIVES [ WAKING HOURS] WITH THE LEFT LOGICAL BRAIN

THINKING BEING DOMINANT THAT IT IS AN EFFORT TO MAKE USE OF THE INTUITIVE

RIGHT BRAIN.

THOSE WHO WORK CREATIVELY, MALE & FEMALE HAVE FAR LESS DIFFICULTY WITH THE

MENTAL SKILLS OF PRACTICAL MAGIC. TO THESE PEOPLE DREAM RECALL, DIVINATION,

PATH WORKING, MEDITATION, & VISUALIZATION COMES EASIER THAN TO THOSE WHO ARE

CONSTANTLY USING LEFT LOGICAL BRAIN,

OUR DREAMS OFFER AN UNRECOGNISED CHANNEL OF INFORMATION DIRECT FROM YOUR

DEEPEST LEVELS OF YOUR INNER MIND, THEY ARE NOT CENSORED OF LIMITED BY EVENTS

OF REAL LIFE. IN DREAMS WE CAN FLY, TRAVEL TO FAR OFF PLACES EVEN OTHER

WORLDS, WE CAN FLIRT, MAKE LOVE, [MELD] GROW IN SIZE OR SHRINK, WALK THROUGH

WALLS, THINK OURSELVES SOMEWHERE ELSE, GO BACK TO THE PAST OR VISIT THE

FUTURE, WE SPEAK WITH THE DEAD OR THE MASTERS OR TEACHERS & OTHER TYPES OF

ARCHETYPES, WE CAN ALSO GO BACK & CHANGE OUR DREAMS & FACE OUR OWN MONSTERS

& WIN.

WHEN WE HAVE LEARNED TO EXPLORE, RECORD & ANALYSE OUR DREAMS ON A DAILY

BASIS, WE EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO CONTROL & SHAPE WHERE WE GO BODILESS AT NIGHT

IN THE FORM OF ASTRAL TRAVEL & ARE BETTER ABLE TO COPE WITH THE PROBLEMS OF

THE WAKING SELF.
