Dream Your Sweet Day is celebrated on February 13 every year, a day before Valentine’s Day. People spend this day thinking about their sweetheart and preparing for the oncoming Valentine’s Day. This day may be celebrated alone or with your partner, where you can plan what gifts to give each other and how you will celebrate the day. Then, you keep thinking about them as you fall asleep so that you can dream about them. Those whose partners are not in the same city as them, they dream about meeting them the next day. And for those who are single, you can celebrate Dream Your Sweet Day by dreaming about a future lover or an ideal relationship.
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.

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.

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.
