Ever heard of joint dreaming? I guess it's a thing! And it just happened to me.
My bestie/soul sister and I were just on a trip. It was.. interesting and you can read more about it here.
And in that I said I would share about a first time occurrence for me.
A joint dream!
My friend and I are so in tune to each other. We have the type of friendship that I always desired to have when I was younger and going through very challenging and alienating years.
I've always been very independent and more of a floater. I was friends with many different groups and cliques in school and have the same variety of relationships now. I have always had a smaller group of really close friends. The connections I've made are really special to me and so when I consider you a friend, just know that I don't mean that lightly!
Anyway, I met this soul sister of mine after graduating college and when I started working at a yoga studio where she was a massage therapist. I instantly warmed to her and was happy to work when she did. We became friends quickly, I was fast to wear her down to my friendship.
She told me that at one point when I was asking ALL the questions that she was almost overwhelmed with my outgoing personality (I had finally met someone with a strong connection and awareness of Spirit like I did) and she thought "wtf is with this girl" she heard Spirit say something like, "Pay attention, she's important to you, humor her, lean in."
And a lovely friendship bloomed!
Where she is earth and water, I am fire and air.
Where she easily navigates the physical and is so grounded she probably has never fallen over, I am up high flying in the clouds, flying within other spaces with Spirit. Our friendship is really balancing to both of us.
Our cats are even full siblings and they replicate our personalities completely! Jade (on the left) is laid back, calm, and more reserved while Franklin (my little storm cloud on the right) is a firecracker, outgoing, and slightly wild. Both super in tune with us and with Spirit.
So fucking cute.
Many things in our lives parallel and work almost as if in a dance. We not only mirror each other and experiencing huge similarities at the same time but also are somehow opposites in many ways.
It then should come as no surprise that while on this trip together, my friend and I shared a joint dream!
It was brief but I remember it really clearly. I was definitely lucid dreaming, completely aware of what was happening in the dream and what was happening around me in the physical.
The dream was set in a bookstore a lot like Barnes and Noble. It was large and open and I remember walking in with her and pausing. Looking around and wondering "where do we start?".
I turn to her and ask, "What reading grade level do you want to check out?"
Knowing that in the waking world she was working through past experiences that related to school. In school she was left behind to struggle with parts of her education. Specifically reading. Her teachers didn't give her the support she needed and she remembers being pressured to keep up with the curriculum when she should have been getting individual help.
I had gotten her a book that called to me on our last trip and she has been reading it to me as we drive. Helping her restructure her past experiences while also reestablishing certain skills.
When I asked her, "What reading grade level do you want to check out?" In my awake reality I heard her grumble next to me, ""MmM... mm." 🤷♀️
I was aware in the dream that this was a big question to ask her. I felt that on a deep level I was basically asking, "At what age do you feel you were left behind in your reading?"
I then heard in my mind a grade range and asked her in the dream if that sounded right.
I heard her respond near me, "Umm? Mm hm."
And in the dream I thought alrighty then, to that section we go.
Once in that grade range of books in the dream bookstore I heard her in the awake reality go, "Oohhh." As if everything finally made sense.
After that the dream stopped and I don't remember anything further.
When I dream and wake up remembering the dream, I know that I am meant to remember it so the next morning I told her my dream.
As I was going through it she was nodding and when I was done sharing she said, "Wow that really resonated with me! Woah, I feel that. Wow, thank you."
How cool is that!! I knew that in our dream spaces we have the capability to do soul deep work.
If you are interested in learning how to lucid dream or how to remember your dreams that hold important info, try this:
1) Set an intention before going to sleep. Something simple like this can work: "Spirit/Source/Universe/God, I set the intention to remember my dreams that hold important information or relate to the work I am doing. I ask that I can recall these dreams that hold important meaning. I am open to do soul level work while sleeping. Please support me in protecting my energy and boundaries as I work in these spaces. May the work I do within the dream space leave me rested and rejuvenated upon waking. I ask that you accompany me and ask that I am led to do work that I am prepared and ready for. Thank you."
You can change the wording of course, this is just an example.
2) I also like to prepare my space sometimes to help with restful dream work. I will set some supportive crystals around me or under my bed. I also will use essential oils like lavender to help in relaxation. I reduce screen time before bed.
3) I do a quick body/energy scan before I sleep. Going head to toe or starting from my core and radiate outward, I go over my body and surrounding space with the intention of observing how I feel and tuning into any emotions or energies I feel. Settling and releasing any tension helps me prepare for any work I do it the dream space.
These are just a couple of suggestions and I like to change them up depending on how I feel. I often go to sleep while exploring my Akashic Records as well. I get really restful sleep when I journey to my comfortable spaces in there and fall asleep.
If you'd like to learn how to access and read your Akashic Records, I am putting feelers out to see how much interest there is! I would love to teach you how to do this on your own so that you can have this beautiful access to your soul's wisdom.
Interested in something like that? Please let me know! I'll create it just for you!
Do you want to learn how to access your own Akashic Records?
I am not surprise that when we are so in tune to our friends or soul connections that we can share dreams. How many times have you picked up the phone AS it rang because you felt someone about to call/text?
Have you ever had a joint dream with a family member or friend? Or a really interesting dream that you remember so vividly that it HAS TO have meaning?
I'd love to hear about it:)
