Dream Pillows



( Celestial Dreams II- by Flavia Weedn)

Before beginning the dream pillow, decide what you will be using it for: to repel bad dreams, strengthen your prophetic abilities, rest and healing, etc. Choose your dried herbs and oils according to the pillow's use


Take two pieces of cloth or felt in the appropriate color and size that you want and sew up three sides, inside out (using appropriately colored thread). Mix your herbs (and oils if you choose) together in a glass or wooden bowl. Turn your pillow right side out and stuff it. Stitch the forth side closed. Its that easy!

Keep in mind, the following lists are not inclusive, but will get you started. Be creative with your pillow. You may also add in stones, crystals or fetishes. Then tuck it in your pillowcase, set on nightstand or hang over your bed.
