A Candle for the Threshold Between Waking and Dreaming
Crystal Journey has been making intention candles out of Connecticut for decades, and the Dreams votive is one of their most focused offerings. It’s scented with lavender, ylang ylang, and rosemary, a combination that has roots in folk herbalism around sleep, psychic clarity, and dream recall. I stock this candle because the scent profile is genuine, not just atmospheric, and the burn quality is consistent across the line.
You can use this candle before bed to signal to your mind that it’s time to shift into receptive mode. The affirmation that comes with the Dreams line reads: “I open the door to dream and step into a higher dimension where everyone may exist in a more perfect state.” Light it during a brief pre-sleep ritual, set your intention for the night, then extinguish it before you fall asleep. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and do not burn it while you’re sleeping.
If you’re building a dreamwork or sleep altar, I carry Crystal Journey soy herbal votives in several intentions, and you’ll also find stones and crystals for sleep and dreams to pair with this candle for a more complete ritual setup.
How to Use the Dreams Soy Votive
Use this votive as part of a pre-sleep ritual to encourage vivid dreams, deeper rest, and clearer recall.
- Prepare Your Space
Place the candle on a fireproof surface in your bedroom or meditation space. Dim the lights and sit quietly for a moment before lighting it, letting the lavender and ylang ylang scent settle around you.
- Set Your Intention
Close your eyes and repeat the affirmation aloud or in your mind: I open the door to dream and step into a higher dimension where everyone may exist in a more perfect state. Say it slowly, with intention.
- Journal Your Dreams
Keep a dream journal on your nightstand. After waking, write down any images, feelings, or symbols before getting up. Over time, your recall will sharpen. Extinguish the candle safely before sleeping.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
Crystal Journey Candles has been hand-crafting intention candles in Connecticut for a long time, and the consistency of their product is what keeps them in my shop. The wicks are paper or cotton and lead-free, the soy base burns clean, and the essential oil blends are purposeful rather than decorative. The Dreams scent specifically uses lavender, ylang ylang, and rosemary, which are each well-documented in Western herbalism for sleep and memory work. These are not novelty candles. One practical note: trim the wick to 1/4 inch before every burn. These votives pool quickly if you skip that step, and you’ll lose burn time.
