Within the tapestry of slumber, a realm of dreams unfolds every night; a space where the subconscious mind transcends the confines of reality and embarks on surreal journeys.
Such a world can offer unique insights into our deepest selves and the universe around us if we can retain our conscious awareness – a state known as lucid dreaming.
Yet, for many, the elusive door to lucidity seems firmly shut or at best, unpredictable.
In our quest to unlock this door, we delve into an intriguing realm of natural mystique – the world of crystals.
Known for their vibrational energy, healing qualities and unique frequency patterns, various types of crystals have been traditionally linked to the enhancement of lucid dreaming.
Whether you’re a seasoned dream explorer in search of new tools or a curious newcomer eager to dip your toes into the fascinating pool of conscious dream exploration, the crystalline allies I’m about to discuss could serve as powerful aids in your nocturnal voyages.
From the calming Amethyst to the vibrant Labradorite, we’re going on a journey to uncover the best crystals for lucid dreaming, helping you to navigate your dreamscape with awareness, clarity, and intention.
Crystals For Lucid Dreaming: A Lucid Dreamer’s Top Picks
I’ve spent my life lucid dreaming, without really knowing how or why. As I became more aware of this method of sleep travel, I learnt to harness certain crystals, and found the following to be some of the best:
1) Amethyst
Amethyst is probably the first crystal you will hear when it comes to spiritual or metaphysical concepts – and this includes the realm of sleep and dreams.
What’s so great about Amethyst is that its presence alone can raise your consciousness and energies to a level where things like lucid dreaming become easily accessible to you. And if you use it consciously, you can definitely achieve that much-coveted state of sleep.
To benefit from Amethyst’s abilities, place the crystal under your pillow or on your nightstand. Before you fall asleep, make sure that you spend a few minutes focusing your mind on this crystal. Try to feel its energies and let it engulf you with its calming and soothing vibrations. Lucid dreaming will then happen naturally.
2) Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz is another popular name you will repeatedly, whether you’re new to the world of crystals or not. It is one of the best crystals you can use to experience supernatural energies and states. This is not surprising given the fact that it is one of the most powerful crystals for the third eye and crown chakras.
Since these chakras can open up your perception of the spiritual realm, things like lucid dreaming become a byproduct.
Additionally, this crystal happens to be a great energy amplifier. As such, it can make your intention of lucid dreaming much more powerful and it can also amplify the power of any other crystals for lucid dreaming that you’re working with, such as Amethyst.
Place a Clear Quartz crystal under your pillow before you go to sleep and allow it to do its work. You can also wear a Clear Quartz ring to achieve the same result.
If I’m working with Clear Quartz for dream purposes, I like to use it in the form of a guardian angel as this makes me feel more protected as I journey.
3) Labradorite
Labradorite is often referred to as the “stone of magic” due to its stunning iridescence and mystical properties. For one, it has a remarkable ability to heighten your intuition and other psychic abilities. This makes it an ideal stone for lucid dreaming.
Also, this stone is connected to the third eye and throat chakras. The third eye chakra, as you may know, is associated with higher perception and wisdom.
And the throat chakra is related to communication and expression. But not many people know that it is the throat chakra that opens the doors to supernatural experiences.
As such, if you use a stone like Labradorite, it will stimulate the throat chakra and make lucid dreaming possible for you.
Labradorite can help dispel negativity and keep you safe while you lucid dream too.

4) Lepidolite
A lot of people use Lepidolite to get rid of their stress and anxiety. After all, it is a powerful crystal that is packed with energies of serenity and peace. The vibrations it exudes can create a relaxed and calm atmosphere in any space you place it. Naturally, this makes it ideal for lucid dreaming.
Most people don’t realise that relaxation plays a huge role in your ability to lucid dream. When you achieve a highly relaxed state, your mind is better able to understand that it has entered the dream state. And when that realisation hits, you essentially start to lucid dream.
So, in a way, using Lepidolite increases your likelihood of lucid dreaming. To use it, you can either place it on your bed at night or meditate by holding it in your hands for a few minutes right before you go to bed.
5) Selenite
Selenite is a powerful crystal that a lot of people use to make progress on the spiritual path. Its metaphysical properties are highly impressive and it can certainly help you achieve lucid dreaming.
For one, it develops a sense of clarity and ease within your system. It also strengthens your connection with the spiritual realm. This sets the right foundation for lucid dreaming.
Also, this crystal has a cleansing effect on the energy field, which results in the release of any negative or stagnant energies that may hinder your dream exploration.
So, if you haven’t been able to lucid dream because of unresolved trauma or some type of negative energy within or around you, Selenite should be your go-to crystal.
However, I would serve a slight warning with this crystal as it really packs a punch. If you’re not used to its energies, especially being around you at night time, it can really disrupt your sleep patterns by over-activating your crown chakra.
6) Blue Kyanite
Blue Kyanite is one of the best crystals for lucid dreaming. That’s because it can open up, balance and heal your throat chakra.
As I mentioned above, this chakra can open the doors to supernatural experiences. In fact, in some Eastern cultures of the world, the throat chakra is considered very important for occult practices. So, it only makes sense that activating it would help you lucid dream.
One of the best ways to use this crystal is to meditate with it for a while before going to bed. As you hold it in your hand, you can visualise it working on your throat chakra and releasing any stagnant or negative energy from it.
You can also imagine a bright blue light connecting your aura to the infinite universe. When you’re ready, you can place this crystal near your bed and then go to sleep.
7) Moldavite
Moldavite is a rare and highly sought-after crystal formed from a meteorite impact. This should tell you just how powerful it is.
The intense energies released during the meteorite impact instilled some amazing mystical properties within this crystal. Energy healers believe that it can help you develop a strong spiritual connection with reality and can be a potent aid for lucid dreaming.
Another reason Moldavite works so well for lucid dreaming is that its intense energy can awaken your consciousness and propel dream experiences to new heights.
However, since this crystal has such potent effects, it is recommended to work with it cautiously and gradually increase exposure.
Final Thoughts
Lucid dreaming is not for everyone, but if you’re looking to experience it, then the above crystals will help.
If you’re new to this technique then I’d recommend working with lucid dreaming crystals like Amethyst or Labradorite to begin with, as they are a little more gentle.
It can also be beneficial to follow a guided meditation when you begin your lucid dreaming journey – I’ve linked one below for you to try.
Keep a glass of fresh water by your bed so you can ground yourself effectively when you wake from your lucid dreaming.
I started Spirit of Sapphire in August 2017 after finally building up the courage to start reading tarot for people other than my loved ones.
At the same time, I embarked upon expanding my spiritual knowledge and skills and so attended various psychic mediumship courses and circles, and I also began to train as a Reiki practitioner.
I’ve designed this site to be a hub of spiritual knowledge. As I learn new things, I want to share them with you.
