Crystal
The human sense of the eternal, so a symbol of your core self. But a crystal can also depict rigid views or emotions, crystallised opinions, thus habits.
A crystalline form is often a symbol of the Self. In other words, you are only conscious of a small part of yourself. Most of your body functions, and memories are unconscious. Also, your links with others and life itself at a deep level may remain unknown. The word Self is used to mean your whole being, known and unknown. If the crystal is felt to be of great beauty or valuable, then it is certainly linked with what is of greatest value in yourself – your pure consciousness beyond physical sensations and thoughts.
The thing about dreams is that they show everything that is inside you as an outside image. So the crystal can actually represent the force that gives you bones and other inner activities. Crystal of whatever sort always form the same crystalline structure, so often are images of forces in us that are always constant, so can represent a part of us that is always true – our core Self. See Touching Your Core Self
The shape of the crystal, in its beautiful structure, arises through the workings of some inner force or power, invisible, but evident in its symmetry. So it can represent the hidden inner power active within you that shapes who you are. Dr Marie-Louise von Franz writes in Jung’s book Man and His Symbols, writes, “The mathematically precise arrangement of a crystal evokes in us the intuitive feeling that even in so-called ‘dead’ matter there is a spiritual ordering principle at work. Thus the crystal often symbolically stands for the union of extreme opposites – of matter and spirit.” This inner power may in some dreams be seen to shine out or to focus what are your innate talents or potential.
A crystal may also depict realisation, i.e. “It became crystal clear”. See: jewels.
Cut crystal glasses or chandeliers suggest refinement or quality, and the chandeliers might also link with what has already been said above about crystal. Glasses can also link with alcohol though, and be showing its influence on you.
Clear Crystal: This is about clearing the mind of thoughts and emotion and enabling you to look into the immensity of your inner being. It represents a space of infinite wonder, a situation or state of mind not limited by form or smallness so it allows you to seek what you want in the infinity. Although it has no image or formit has the potential of all things – a magical state.
Crystal ball: The crystal ball usually stands for insight, prophecy, the future, your hopes and plans, fate, intuition, gazing into yourself. It can, because of its shape, denote the Self, or completeness, indicating your ability to be aware of intuitive impressions and creative imagery. It can also indicate the world of your inner feelings, passions, love and dreams – your soul, and your ability to look deeply into it. The following dream illustrates this.
Example: My beautiful friend looks into the crystal. It is not a thing made of glass, but a great dimension of mind which appears to open in the room, hanging in the centre of it, about eight feet across. She tells me I am already touching something that is beginning to happen in the world. My life will become involved in it. I will play my part – by no means a key role or leader, but one which I will gain great satisfaction and love from.
But remember that delving within like this can uncover the dark shadows cast by past fears, traumas and the memory of acts and emotions we usually choose to keep in the darkness of unconsciousness. It can also show you what you know in your heart, as in the following dream. See Using Your Intuition; The Inner World
I was with a gypsy looking at a crystal ball. She told me that my present relationship – a woman with children I am living with – will last and flower. I began to cry. Then there were other people there as well. A man put his hand on me and said it was okay to cry, and I felt they supported me in this. Don S.
Useful Questions and Hints:
If my dream crystal is of great beauty and value, what can I understand or feel from it about my own deepest self?
If I have dreamt of a crystal ball, what has been seen in it about who I am and my direction in life?
What can I gather about what is valuable or beautiful in myself from this dream?

I dreamt that i was walking along the seashore during a peaceful sunset and found a clear crystal point. I went back to my chalet and there was this unknown boy asking me if I have seen his crystal point. I showed him the crystal point I had found but he shook his head and said it wasn’t his crystal. Both of us went back to the seashore and I helped him to look for his crystal. As I was looking around, I kept finding more and more beautiful clear crystal points which delighted me. I collect crystals and my discoveries made me very happy. What does it mean?

Dear Estee – The crystals you are collecting in your dream are not physical crystals, but are showing that you are with the help of a younger and male self finding your connection with your own holiness. You are awakening your inner most being. See https://dreamhawk.com/body-and-mind/methods-of-awakening/
Remember that all the people, animals, and places you see in your dreams, are simply your own feelings, fears, hopes and wonder projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind as images.

Hi, I just bought some stones the other day and today was my first day using them after I cleansed them. I had the moonstones on each ovary and carnelian stone on my abdomen. I feel asleep and had a dream I walked into a crystal shop with those stones the lady in the store told me the carnelian wasn’t actually carnelian and when I showed her the moonstone it started to glow very brightly where it went from white to green and I felt electricity run through my body and then I woke up. What did this dream mean?
Hi – The answers I give arise not out of me thinking up things to say, but from fifty years of exploring dreams in depth. So some of what I write may seem wild. This may be because dreams arise and are experienced by a level of your mind or awareness that very few people have any concept or experience of – usually called the unconscious. Life dreamt in its creatures millions of years before even humankind awoke and developed self awareness or language. So to understand dreams we need to leave our thinking minds behind and go into our feelings and reactions – a much older level of awareness.

Carly – As far as dreams are concerned everything you dream about refers or symbolises something in yourself. So you read the feature on Crystals, and all I can add to that is that you are on the verge of entering a much wider awareness. See http://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/extending-your-awareness/
But you are just dipping your toes in the great sea of Life, and as dreams take place in a deep level of our being they are like seeds, and so take a while to grow above the surface of our waking consciousness. The electricity you felt is the release of your Life Force, often called kundalini of Chi in different languages. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/kundalini/ – http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/opening-to-life/
I guess that you must have lived a life that prepared you for this change.
I had a dream that I took my black tourmaline and broke it up into smaller pieces. Do you hav rant idea what this may mean?
Hi, I dreamt my cousin and I walked into a hospital to see her sister (suicide @25). The nurse brought out a crystal that was the most beautiful clear green at the bottom and vibrant pink on top. We were conversing with the crystal as if we were talking to my deceased cousin. I asked her if she was ok or if she wanted to come with us but she said no, that she was very happy so we left just holding the crystal. What was the meaning of this, was it purely about her being at peace or something else.
Hi there, I had a very strange dream last night that left me feeling pretty uncomfortable. All of my crystals are dear to me but my aquamarine is extremely special. In the dream someone stole it from me, cut it into tiny pieces and made it clear. I then proceeded to freak the heck out and become violent with the thief. I have been under an extreme amount of stress lately and I’m wondering if this dream was at all related to that or what it could possibly mean (if anything ). Thank you in advance for your input.

Michiru – In dreams, the objects – crystals – we dream about are not about the actual physical objects, but depict your feelings and thoughts about them.
So your feelings have been cut in pieces by the stress you have experienced, producing even more stress. See http://dreamhawk.com/health-and-healing/stress-what-is-it-part-1/ also http://dreamhawk.com/news/avoiding-being-my-own-victim/
Hello Tony. .
Dreams for me is like living in another reality. I’ve been there and come back feeling either Good exhausted or then sometimes contemplative.
I remember my dreams vividly .. in detail sometime.
I had a dream a while ago of my master standing patiently at the side of path that was laden with rainbow quartz and quartz crystals going towards the sea while the path leading in the opposite direction was full of butterflies and plants and trees. He stood there patiently pointing towards the crystal path while I was caught in dancing with butterflies on the other. I felt a happy dancing with the butte files
I was shown this very clearly. I was aware that my master was showing me another path that I haven’t been able to fathom yet.
Your guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Avatari – I get the impression that dancing with butterflies is almost a fairy tale existence. While your master was pointing to things that grow out of the earth – earthy experience.
Also in dreams the ocean is the enormous unknown for its depths take us under the surface of our everyday life. Its path is one of many trials that build strength. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/mountain-path/ and http://dreamhawk.com/body-and-mind/methods-of-awakening/
I keep have reoccurring dreams of finding many, many different colored beautiful faceted crystals. I’m super excited and I pick some up, putting in my pockets,but I am careful to leave behind some in case I shouldn’t take them, or to be sure they are not mean for something else.
Any thoughts?
Maybe I don’t feel I can have it all? What’s “it”or “all”? Innner activity,I’m afraid to take or use all of? Humph…. gratitude for any insights.

Tarnfairey – Well, you are on to something good. But you have qualms about your luck. You have read what crystals represent in dreams, but you need to realise that dream images are like icons on a computer screen – You have to ‘click’ on your dream images to make them come alive. Thinking about them doesn’t work. You need to open yourself to the magic of them. Maybe using http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/practical-techniques-for-understanding-your-dreams/
But if you get beyond the symbols – the crystals – you may find the true infinite within you. Imagine you are going to communicate with a part of yourself that has an unlimited amount of information and influence to share with you. What this dimension of yourself gives you will be in direct response to what you ask. So the question you ask will be the factor shaping the response. Therefore it is occasionally worth asking what is the right question to get effective help. Remember that all you receive has to pass through your own body, your emotions and your mind. YOU are the instrument that transforms the communication into understandable experience. If your body is full of tensions and drugs there will obviously be interference. If your emotions are taut with anxiety, flooded with disbelief, there will be blockages. If your mind is rigid in its opinions, locked into habits of thought, you will need to practise listening and receiving. Even if you can be ready to drop these for a few moments the channel can clear. When you hit that your channels will become clear.
It is difficult to know exactly what is the right information to recommend for you, but this might be helpful – http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/going-beyond/ also http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/mountain-path/
I had a dream where I was looking at my favourite amethyst crystal that was for some reason very fragile like brittle glass. When I went to pick it up my crystal suddenly shattered, pieces flew everywhere and also cut my palm open. I felt pain but also a very deep sadness and when I woke up my palm still felt as if it was cut. Can someone please help me by explaining this dream to me it would mean a lot and would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Seren – Obviously the crystal has a lot of personal feelings and beliefs linked with it.
Something has shattered those beliefs, or is about to, and that is felt as painful. To quote from Martial Art of the Mind, “We are all victims or captives of what we believe in. What we believe or imagine about who we are, or what we are not, is for many people an incredibly potent torturer and jailer. The real problem is that we often accept this as normal or barely notice them.
The pain is in your hand, which represents the way you hold on to – or let go of – people, your children, situations or beliefs – this is why people are handcuffed to take away their power. The hand is an extension of your power – to give, take, wound, heal, support or do. Sometimes it is hands we reach out to protect ourselves or others. With our hands we touch other people and the world around us.
But dreams are not ways to punish us by hurting us, but even if painful they are ways to lead to a less stressful understanding of your life. Try being the crystal and hand by using http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/acting-on-your-dream/#BeingPerson
I had a dream last night that I was holding a purple crystal that was so bright and intrequiate just before hand I’d compleated a guided meditation to meet my guardian angles yet what I found so fascinating was when I had the crystal I smashed it twice over the floor and it grew into an even bigger crystal that became heavy to carry! Can you help explain what this means?
I had a dream that my boyfriend was holding a crystal and was like sucking my soul out into it. I felt like I was going to die or something and I woke up thinking he was really doing that. What does this mean?
