The dream petition
Prepare a single question before sleep and gather the fragments that return by morning.
What you’ll need
- A small card
- A pencil
- A notebook beside the bed
The ritual
- Before bed, write one short question on the card and read it three times.
- Place the card beneath the notebook and picture an open doorway as you settle to sleep.
- On waking, remain still for a moment and record every fragment you remember: place, person, color, feeling, or phrase.
- Later that day, look for a repeated image or emotion and write what it may reveal about the question.
