Encouraging Psychic Dreams

[foundpoem]

In the past year, I've had a couple of dreams in which either deceased loved ones or other entities have contacted me, either to introduce themselves or pass on valuable information. The content of our interactions has included words in languages I don't know, which I've then looked up and found that not only are they actual words, their meaning is entirely contextually relevant.

Other than intent, and working at techniques of lucid dreaming and of astral travel, does anyone have other suggestions for how I might create a climate in which I had more dreams like this?

I feel like I'm not currently grounded enough to delve as deeply into the psychic world as I would like. Suggestions for how to remedy this are also encouraged.
