Here's a way to do both at once:
First: pick the Tarot card you'd like to work with.
You can chose a card by shuffling the deck and picking at random. If you use this method, think about a question or an issue in your life with which you need help, then ask for guidance before you draw your card.
You can also select a card deliberately. Pick out a card that embodies qualities you'd like in yourself. For instance you might pick the 'High Priestess Card' if you would like to be more calm and confident or if you wish for better intuition.
You might also pick a card because you like the picture - and you'd like to see that image in your dreams.
Next: once you've chosen your card, prop it next to your bedside, and gaze at it until you feel like you know the picture very well. As you turn off the light, tell yourself what you want from the card. For example, you might say: "I want to visit that castle in my dreams", or "I want to feel as courageous as the lion on the card". Then tell yourself "I will remember my dreams."
Finally: in the morning when you wake up, journal whatever you remember about your dreams. Do this even if it seems unrelated to your question. Next, look at the card and write any thoughts that pop into your head. Writing helps you access your intuition and strengthen your connection to your chosen card.
If you want to continue working with the same card for awhile, consider getting a small picture frame or easel to hold the card. This will protect the card and make it easier to see.
If you don't yet have a tarot deck - you can use photos or other types of cards in the same manner. Or - check in with me later and I'll give you some pointers on choosing a tarot deck.
Sweet dreams!
