Asking the Angels into Your Dreams |
|
|
by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. |
|
|
|

|
Our dreamtime is often the most productive time to gain new spiritual growth and understanding. Many people have psychic dreams that foretell the future, or that give guidance about career, home, and family.
You can receive consistent and clear guidance while you sleep by inviting angels into your dreams. This is an especially good way to gain new understandings and creative ideas when your daytime thinking mode is locked into black-and-white viewpoints. While sleeping, we let go of rigid thought patterns. God and the angels can more easily transfer Divine ideas to us when we are open-minded, such as when we're asleep.
Before going to bed, take a moment to meditate. Then affirm mentally or aloud:
"Dear God and angels,
Please enter my dreams tonight and give me guidance and new ideas about (fill in the blank with your specific request) situation. I ask that You help me to remember these ideas upon awakening clearly.
Thank you and Amen."
Even if you don't normally recall your dreams, this powerful affirmation will shift your consciousness so that you have powerfully vivid — and unforgettable — dreams during the hour immediately before awakening. We call these "lucid" dreams. They are like being in a movie, where you are simultaneously watching yourself and being the participant. It would be very difficult to forget these dreams. Even the person who swears, "I don't dream" remembers the plot and the message of lucid dreams.
Many great inventions, books, and solutions were derived from dreams. You've likely heard stories of authors, business people, and inventors awakening with a lightbulb of an idea. Everyone has access to this pool of information, because everyone's mind is eternally joined with the infinite wisdom of God. You, too, can create in your sleep by setting your intentions before going to sleep.
The angels can also heal limiting thoughts, beliefs, and emotions while we sleep. We've often read that faith is the substance of manifestation and miracles. In "A Course in Miracles," it says, "There is no problem in any situation that faith cannot solve." And a new scientific study found that people who believe in psychic phenomenon were more likely to experience accurate psychic guidance by a factor of one trillion to one, compared to skeptics.
Dreamtime is an excellent platform for increasing our faith in the infallible order of the universe. One of the easiest ways I've found to increase the level of faith is by asking God and the angels to help. Even the most skeptical pragmatist will find that this method creates a powerfully impressive experience. An easy way to do this is right before going to sleep at night. Say this affirmation mentally or aloud,
"Dear God and guardian angels,
I ask you to enter my dreams tonight and clear away the fears that keep me from understanding, trusting, and following my Divine guidance. If there is a message you wish to give to me, please help me to understand clearly and remember it in the morning. Amen."
Heaven will replace your distrust with faith, and you'll feel more confident about following your knowingness. We interact a lot with the angelic kingdom during our dreams. You'll increase your number of angel messages and the speed of your clearing work simply by inviting the angels into your dreams.
For example, if you are undecided about your career direction, mentally say a prayer similar to this as you lay your head on your pillow:
"Angels, please enter my dreams tonight and give me clear messages, that I will remember, to help me to know which direction to take with my career."
They always meet this request, and you will likely have a lucid dream which you easily remember, in the hour right before you awaken. Or, the angels may help you in your sleep in such a way that you don't recall your dream's contents. Yet, you awaken and know that something shifted within you during the night. You feel happier, more positive, and much clearer about which direction to take. This is a sign that the angels have rearranged your thoughts and beliefs, to help you release fears that keep you indecisive about your career.
If you feel blocked in any area of your life, write this message on a piece of paper and place it under your pillow. Repeat the phrase mentally three times as you are falling asleep: "Dearest Angels,
I ask you to work with me in my sleep tonight, to clear away any blocks which keep me from fully enjoying my life. Please either call these blocks to my attention, or completely remove them from my mind, emotions, and body during tonight's sleep.
Thank you."
In the morning, you'll awaken refreshed but with an awareness that you've worked during the night. You may not recall the details of your angelic nocturnal work, but you will feel it deeply. Your head may even feel funny, because of the restructuring which occurred overnight. Still, any blocks which the angels carted away were heavy weights impeding you from your life's plan and purpose. You'll feel grateful that you asked for this clearing, and you may want to invite the angels into your dreams nightly.

Dr. Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.., Spiritual, Clairvoyant Psychologist
|
 |
Dr. Doreen Virtue (yes, that is her real name) is a spiritual clairvoyant psychologist who holds B.A. M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Counseling Psychology. Dr. Virtue is the author of 22 books on mind-body-spirit issues. Included in this list are such titles as: Healing with the Angels, Divine Guidance, Angel Therapy, The Lightworker's Way and The Yo-Yo Diet Syndrome.
Dr. Virtue is the founder and former director of WomanKind Psychiatric Hospital at Cumberland Hall Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. She was also an administrator at Woodside Women's Hospital in the San Francisco Bay Area. Both all-women psychiatric hospitals specialized in treating women's psychological issues. Dr. Virtue also directed three outpatient psychiatric centers, including an adolescent drug and alcohol abuse center.
As a child, Doreen was a natural clairvoyant, seeing and conversing with what many people call "invisible friends" (which are really angels and deceased loved ones). But this natural gift and ability was little understood by the young Doreen and her family, and was the cause of teasing by her friends. Consequently, Doreen learned to deny her abilities, effectively shutting them down before she was mature enough to fully appreciate them.
But on July 15, 1995, Doreen's personal life and her career, marked by exemplary but conventional success, would be irrevocably altered by an incident that is nothing short of miraculous. Doreen had been ignoring her angels' guidance to become a teacher of mind-body-spirit issues. So, when an angel warned Doreen that her car was going to be stolen on that fateful July afternoon, Doreen ignored him. After all, her habit of arguing with and ignoring the angels was deeply ingrained by then. Despite this, the angel did not abandon
Doreen in her most dire moment - as she was parking, two armed men, intent on a carjacking, brandished weapons and physically accosted the unsuspecting Doreen. The voice spoke to her again - it was loud, distinctly male and it instructed her to scream with all her might. This time she listened, she screamed, and her life was saved by passersby who became alarmed and sent her attackers running.
Dr. Virtue immediately began a daily rigorous practice of receiving and deciphering her Divine Guidance. Simultaneously, she was reexamining her spiritual beliefs, along with her Western psychological beliefs, the end result being twofold: Dr. Virtue was guided to look at psychology from a whole new perspective, and her natural clairvoyance rapidly returned with the same clarity and strength of her childhood experiences.
Dr. Virtue's practice then naturally evolved into "Angel Therapy," in which she combines her skills as a psychologist with her spiritual abilities. Dr. Virtue's belief is simple; everyone is born with some form or forms of psychic abilities - in other words, a sixth sense. This ability, or abilities - like all other God-given abilities, needs to be nurtured and exercised to maximize it's strengths. Dr. Virtue cites over 300 scientific studies from Harvard, Cornell, and other leading universities supporting her beliefs in people's natural psychic abilities and in the power of prayer in healing.
Dr. Virtue currently lectures and gives experiential workshops on spiritual psychological issues worldwide. Doreen's topics include: angel therapy, angel communication, spiritual healing, mediumship, reincarnation, channeling, and other spiritual topics. Many of her students are medical and psychological professionals, including M.D.'s, R.N.'s, psychologists, and social workers.
Dr. Virtue's national media includes: Oprah, CNN, Good Morning America, The View with Barbara Walters, Donny & Marie, Roseanne, and other national programs. National print media includes: Redbook, Woman's Day, and USA Today.
