St. Valentine

While the exact identity is debated, St. Valentine is the patron saint of lovers, associated with the holiday that immediately follows Dream Your Sweet Day.

History of Dream Your Sweet Day

When you want something badly, you have to visualize it clearly in your mind and follow your visualizations to reality. The same is the philosophy behind Dream Your Sweet Day. You dream and visualize spending some quality time with your beloved and, in a way, invoke the cosmic powers to bring your dreams to life.

The idea of Dream Your Sweet Day is to channel your anticipation into productive thoughts to make your Valentine’s Day special. Since you want to make the big day special, it helps to get into the mood and plan for the day ahead. If Valentine’s Day is about spending time with your sweetheart, Dream Your Sweet Day is about spending time planning and prepping for that time. You plan, discuss, and prepare about how you’ll spend the big day. After making the preparations, go to bed and drift off into dreaming about the great time you’ll be spending the next day.

For single people, it’s a great time to dream about the presence of your future love. Rather than wallowing in self-pity, often the case when you anticipate loneliness on Valentine’s Day, it is better to switch on positive thoughts. Go to bed with happy images of celebrating Valentine’s Day in the near future with the love of your life.

Write or draw about how you feel
The anticipation of Valentine's Day is bound to make you go mushy. Write down your thoughts. You don't need to write a treatise on love; just be truthful and write it in whichever way it comes out. If you like to draw, sketch a picture of the images on your mind. You'll be surprised as to how vivid and detailed your thoughts are.
Discuss, plan, prepare, and then doze off
Discuss and plan the big day with your beloved. Go over every detail to ensure that it is memorable. However, once you've planned it, don't ruminate, fret, or double guess about whether the Day will be true to expectations. Go to bed with a smile and happy thoughts about the quality time that you'll spend.
Stay away from negative events or people
If a bike scrapes your car on the way to work, just ignore it. If your neighbor's dog barks at you for no reason, just smile. Stay away from situations that could lead to a potential run-in with anyone. The idea is to stay away from negative emotions and turn on positivity.
