Greetings, gremlins, and welcome to our first card pull for May 2024!

While I would normally switch back to a tarot deck this month seeing as we've had a couple of months of oracle deck readings in a row, May is also known as Mer-May. While this is typically an art-related thing, I so rarely get the chance to break out my Oracle of the Mermaids in regular readings. Given the theming of the month, bringing this one out feels appropriate.

Without further ado, let us answer our usual question of "What do my followers need to keep in mind to live their best lives this week?"

This week, our card is Dreams, and this could be one of several things. However, the major takeaway from this? Pay attention to your dreams this week. They may be trying to tell you something.

Now, you might be the kind of person who doesn't often remember their dreams. If so, you're like me. I know I have them, and sometimes, a few select images from them stick with me when I wake up, but it's rare that I remember what actually happens in them. On the rare occasion I remember actual plots of my dreams, I tend to just dismiss them because, well, my brain often has a hard time rationalizing those as being even remotely relevant to my life.

However, dreams are often a way for our subconscious to let us know what's really going on in our minds. We might act like we have it all together and are confident, but our dreams may tell us a different story.

So this week, when you wake up, try to make note of whatever you recall from your dreams. Take some time to figure out your own associations with those images, or if you're not sure, reference one of the multitude of dream dictionaries online that can give you a place to start.

Let yourself have that bigger picture and insight into yourself and the things you're feeling when your rational brain has clocked out for the night. Maybe it will reveal a part of yourself you weren't expecting or maybe your dreams are trying to tell you something about how you feel about your current situation.

The insight is there. Your subconscious is trying to let you know, so take the time to listen. You might be surprised by what you find.

If you enjoyed this post and are perhaps interested in acquiring a reading of your very own, I do keep tarot commissions open over on my Ko-fi.

I also have a shop full of all of the commission readings you can find up there, plus a couple of extras I won't be sharing anywhere else. You can find it over here.
