On English witchcraft websites, the term dream bag or dream spell bag is sometimes mentioned, an expression that, to my knowledge, has no equivalent in French. To explain how to make this type of object, I have simply chosen to refer to it as a magical pouch.
It is indeed a small fabric bag to place under your pillow to promote sleep and encourage sweet dreams. It is even said that dream bags can induce prophetic dreams and help combat nightmares.
To make a magic pouch Sweet Dreams or Good Night, you can draw inspiration from sewing tutorials found online to create the pouches and Provençal lavender sachets. In Provence, these small pouches filled with dried lavender flowers are traditionally placed in wardrobes to scent the linen and keep moths away from clothes.
Even though a dream bag is a more complex object associated with a magical intention, you can make it using the same sewing pattern. Simply cut out two rectangles of 5 cm x 10 cm from the fabric of your choice, usually cotton or linen, and then sew the two sides of the pouch together on the inside before turning it right side out. Naturally, you should sew on only three sides, leaving an opening through which you can fill the pouch.
Since this dream bag is meant to be placed under your pillow, you can also give it a flatter shape of a small cushion. To make this other model, I recommend cutting out two squares of about 7 cm on each side from the fabric.
More than just a simple lavender-scented pouch, a dream bag is a concentrate of white magic. Indeed, although it is a small object, it can combine the powers of phytotherapy, lithotherapy, and magical symbols.
It is typically filled with dried magical plants and herbs with medicinal properties, as well as crystals or tumbled stones. You can even add a message in the form of a sigil or a mantra written on a piece of paper or embroidered directly onto the fabric.
The contents of your magical pouch depend on your intention and goal. Here are some dream bag recipes you can draw inspiration from:
• Good Night pouch for deep sleep: lavender, chamomile, orange blossom, and amethyst.
• Sweet Dreams pouch against nightmares: lavender, rose buds, lemon verbena, and amethyst or rose quartz.
• Evening Breeze pouch for easy breathing at night: lavender, thyme, rosemary, and aquamarine.
The dream bag has something truly magical about it as it simplifies your bedtime rituals. All you need to do is slip it under your pillow after kneading it between your hands to release the scent of the dried herbs. This small gesture will quickly become a habit, easy to incorporate into your evening routine.
To enhance the effectiveness of this magical pouch, you can also hold it in your hands for a few moments while deeply inhaling its fragrance and visualizing the outcome you wish to achieve. Imagine how refreshed you will feel the next day after a good night's sleep, then slide the dream bag under your pillow and sweet dreams!
