Maybe your psychic, and the people that you saw in real life that looked like the devil in your dream are actually really bad people.
You can try following procedure: Put 3-5 leaves ( number depends on size ) between 2 paper towels into a microwave, dry them with medium power 30-60 sec.; time depends on quality of leaves, thick, leathery ones need longerIt`s better to dry them twice instead of burningAs soon as the leaves stop to be flexible, place them between some sheets of blotting paper and iron them very gently and warmish only ( about 50-60°C ) till they are completely driedIf you are really careful and handy the leaves should look like properly pressedAdditional you can iron them between two sheets of wax paper; Place a dish towel over the wax paper and press with the iron (on medium heat)Press on each side for approximately 3-4 minutesRemove leaves from wax paper as long as warm and place them on an aluminium foil till cooled downThey will have a fine coating of wax which preserves them and gives a silky luster.
