Dream Induction is the classical shamanic method of seeking spiritual guidance and a good way to meet your spirit animal. It has been practiced around the world throughout the ages.
The power of your intention as well as your trust is required to work this method. Prayer is also useful in your work with animal spirits. Keep in mind that animal spirits are beings with their own free will; when you call on them they will come to you and offer you the gift of their presence. Gratitude and giving thanks therefore are appropriate and a way to strengthen the bond with the animal spirit.
Dream Induction involves posing a question before you fall asleep and asking for the answer to come to you while you are in the dream state. When the question centers on discovering your power animal, you may have to ask the question many times, or may receive the answer straight away. You have two options - asking repeatedly until the answer comes or asking occasionally.
On the nights of Dream Induction, prepare yourself during the day by thinking about your questions and summoning positive energy within yourself. This paves the way for a answer to come through a dream.
- 1. When you are in bed and ready to go to sleep, state your intention in your own words i.e. "I will meet my power animal in my dreams tonight." State your intention several times. Call on the highest power to protect you.
- 2. Relax and enter a state of trusting that whatever is supposed to happen will happen and that it will be right, whatever it is. Let yourself fall to sleep.
- 3. Keep a pen and dream journal at your bedside and write down your dreams as soon as you wake up.
