I’ve recently got into lucid dreaming and dream work in general. I find it a very powerful form of divination and a great way to explore myself. I dont have access to many herbs so my main form of witchcraft is crystals and so I thought I should make a detailed post on what crystals are good for dreamwork for my own reference and for others. 

Quick Reference

Nightmares – Amethyst, agate, malachite, lepidolite, celestite, tigers eye  

Your higher wisdom – Amethyst, ametrine, howlite, danburite, tigers eye, scolecite

Vivid dreaming – Malachite, clear quartz

Dream recall – Amethyst, clear quartz, lepidolite, moldavite, scolecite

Lucid dreaming – Danburite, moldavite, scolecite 

Past lives – Howlite

Amethyst 

Amethyst is a well known dreaming crystal. It opens up your crown chakra which brings inner wisdom into your dreams. It is also known to alleviate nightmares and help with insomnia as well as helping with remembering your dreams. Amethyst is readily available and I highly recommend for people starting with dream work and lucid dreaming.

Agate

Agate is not normally associated with dreaming but in my opinion its excellent for dispelling nightmares. In Babylonian times banded agate was put at the head of the sleeper to bring interesting dreams. 

Ametrine

Ametrine is another crystal for inner wisdom and messages. It is amethyst with citrine inclusions which is also associated with the crown chakra. It is really powerful when trying to access your higher wisdom.

Azurite 

Azurite opens up your third eye chakra and attunes to spiritual guidance and intuition. It is one of the top choices for dream work and unlocks the psychic potential of your dreams.

Bonus – Azurite in malachite protects against nightmares and makes your dreams more vivid as well as the normal azurite use.

Clear Quartz 

Clear quartz is an all round crystal. It opens all 7 main chakras and is easily programmable to be used as a stone for dreams. Apart from that it is good for amplifying the vividity of your dreams and also assists with dream recall.

Celestite

Celestite/celestine helps connect you to the angelic realm while also opening your third eye chakra and promoting psychic abilities. In my opinion it is good for nightmares as it has a soft loving energy and is cleansing.

Danburite 

Danburite is a very spiritual stone. It connects you with the angelic realm while also bringing wisdom. It stimulates the crown, the heart and the third eye chakras. It is known to promote the lucid dreaming as well.

Howlite

Howlite is my personal favourite stone for insomnia and dreamwork. It was one of the first stones I was introduced to! Howlite calms an overactive mind and connects you with your past lives as well as your own higher wisdom. 

Lepidolite 

Lepidolite is a good stone for anxiety and helps combat anxiety dreams. It opens the throat, third eye, crown, and heart chakra bring wisdom and guidance into your dreams. It is excellent for insomnia as well as dream recall. 

Moldavite 

Activates all of the 7 main chakras. It is good for honing in any area of transformation and growth in your life. It amplifies other crystals so is good for use in conjunction with any of the other crystals listed. It propels your lucid dreaming and dream recall abilities. 

Scolecite 

Scolecite helps promote inner peace and relaxation which makes it perfect for insomnia. It helps you recieve subtle messages from your higher wisdom as well as guidance from the higher realms. It’s known to enhance the ability to lucid dream as well as dream recall.

Tiger’s Eye

Tigers eye is good for insight and guidance. It helps keep any  nightmares away and is good if you are focusing on a particular question in your dream.

How to Use Crystals

There are a few options you can choose! You can simply put them under your pillow, meditate with them before sleep, and ask either the crystal, your deity, or your spirit guide/angels for clarity on a particular question you may have. You can also use any of these crystals in conjunction with herbs for dreaming.

A lot of thee crystals have also been known to help with astral travel/projection! 😀
