Dream Log
(Dreaming stone "Oregon Opal")

There were snakes in my dream last night. One under the stairs to the entrance of the front door, one in the closet and one in the living room. At one point I was sitting on the floor cross legged in the living room and there was a large one, I thought it was going to bite me or the small child in my lap so I quickly put my hands around its jaws as it was facing away from me and held them closed tightly which was very strange as it really didn't struggle to free itself and then I realized it meant no harm so I released it, got up and left the room as I wasn't quite sure of its intention. I was never terrified in the dream, concerned that it may bite one of us there but more curious than anything as it didn't make sense as to how they were getting inside and wondering why.

Then as I lay there half awake, half asleep these words came to me.....Believe, Respect, Project, Expect. I have heard that snakes can be a sign of transformation. Also, not long ago *points down in the blog* there was a real snake on my back patio which I also really didn't fear and didn't feel compelled to kill, my instinct said to let it go its way. hmmmmmm, Much to ponder.

As a positive symbol, snakes represent transformation, knowledge and wisdom. The presence of a snake in a dream may indicate self-renewal and positive changes for the dreamer.

Opal/Oregon Opal

Discovered by a shepherd over a century ago, Oregon Opal is a highly spiritual stone. In addition to carrying the generic properties of Opal, it assists in past life exploration and is very effective for releasing old grief, trauma, and disappointment. This stone searches out lies, both those from other people and our own self deceptions and delusions. It clears the emotional body and amplifies the entire range of positive emotions.

Opal enhances cosmic consciousness and induces metaphysical and mystical visions. When programmed, Opal makes you "invisible" and is useful when venturing into dangerous places. including shamanic work where stealth is required. Absorbent and reflective, it picks up thoughts and feelings, amplifies them, and returns them. A karmic stone, it teaches that what you put out comes back. This stone brings characteristics to the surface for transformation. A seductive stone, Opal has always been associated with love and passion, desire and eroticism, but you need to be centered before using Opal to explore or induce feelings or to have other stones standing by to aid integration. Opal heals the Earth's energy field, repairing depletions and re-energizing and stabilizing the grid.

Several weeks ago, Sami aka WitchonTheRocks recommended sleeping with crystals under your pillow and recording your dreams. Well, I have been doing this every night but have had great difficulty in remembering anything. This is the first time I have had something to document. I slip the stone inside my pillow case, under my pillow to keep it safe from getting lost or falling out of bed.
