Asatru & Heathen - Yuletide Dreams?

A Theodsman I know pays particular attention to his dreams during the 12 Days of Yule. He claims there is lore -- I forget the exact source he cited, the conversation was shortly after the last holiday season -- suggesting that the dreams we have during this time may carry deeper meaning and perhaps even portents for the future. Don't recall any past Yuletide-y dreams, myself... but am planning to pay closer attention this season as I do tend to sleep longer at the onset of winter, which may impact dream quality.

Curious whether any other Asatru/heathens have observed this effect or hold this practice of heeding dreams more closely during Yuletide as well.

Wassail!
Wassail!
Health unto you.
May your days be merry!

Wassail!
Wassail!
Health unto you.
All the years of your life!
Brother Tucker:
When I use the term "Heathen," I specifically mean the indigenous, Prue-Christian folkway of the Northern Europeans (the modern word "Asatru" should have been a clue).
Ymmo:
I will definitely ask him again. Hope to see him this Saturday at a pub moot.
Heathen Princess:
Thanks!
So... got hold of my friend and he said...
"It occurs a lot in folklore. I think Grimm might mention it. It seems to be a common idea in Germany even recently that dreams at Yule are special at least in some way. Ernst Juenger, who was not your typical new auger, talked about seeing the dead in dreams at Yule."
More! He quotes...
"Much depends upon the time when and the place where dreams are dreamy. They are truest after midnight, toward morning : 'post nocturne me diam, quando sunt somnia vera,' " Ecbas. 227.: Grimm page 1146.

Heathen is the wrong word. Even pagan is strong and misunderstood. The Bible is full of pagan connotations such as the making of trees and rocks sacred witnesses or altars, the use of incense or smudge in the Temple and Jesus claim to be the Morning Star.

Many of us who follow this learned instruction are neither poor or simple in mind so we must choose our words carefully. Most Christians have no conception of what their holy book says or what these sacred rights stand for, a deeper understanding of the nature God created. They would be the simple ones or as you say heathen, simple people of the hearth.

I'm not familiar with the practice, but now you mention it, I'm certainly going to pay more attention to my dreams. It would be interesting to know what was the source, though. Could you maybe find that out and message me with it?
Thanks and blessed Yuletide!

(starred for other Heathens)

I've never heard that and I know a lot of headsman and heathens. But I starred you.

Not as far a Yule, but by crack en i am spending more time watching my dreams as of late, when Odin walks into them unexpected it is time to listen.
