Tonight we will get creative so gather some art supplies… colored pencils, markers, crayons, paints, magazine clippings and glue or whatever you have/like. This is not about being a skilled artist, it’s about expressing the inner creative that lives within each of us. Give any child art supplies and they will create! Put yourself in that state of mind for this ritual.

The more you correspond with dreams, the more clarity you will receive them with. If you received any dreams, find one thing to place on your altar to honor the dream. This can be something that represents the dream symbol or something that will trigger a remembrance during waking life.
