your life. Then find out how life is
really meant to be
lived."
If
I listen through my dreams, my body and soul
will
speak to me and move me as I need to be moved in order
to become more complete, balanced and
in harmony
with life. If I don't
open myself to this
moving
experience of dreams, I may stagnate, or the action
may
move out of my "dream-theater" and
into my everyday
life: into my body as headaches, backaches and illnesses,
into accidents, into a deterioration of relationships,
or
as anxiety, dissatisfaction and violence.
I see dreams as a
form of energy, an energy which is
part of the power that keeps the
world going. I know
from experience that I can attune myself to
this power
by being receptive to my dreams. It requires simply
that
I be willing to let go of whatever it
is in me that blocks
this force from tuning me. Nightly,
dreams bring me
what I need in order to live
better. It's up to me to
continue this process, to bring dream messages into
the
light of day, into my waking consciousness.
MY TOOL
KIT
Probably
most dreams fulfill some healing function
even if we do not remember them
or open up to them.
Some dreams "accomplish themselves."
I've awakened
from a dream so filled with its energy
that all I needed
was to let it sink in and allow myself
to recognize the
changes it brought me.
Other dreams are hard
nuts to crack. Having a few
tools handy makes it much easier to open ourselves and
our dreams to each other. Here are some of
the tools I
use to let dreams wake me up.
DREAMLOG: Here I write it
all down—dreams and
dreamwriting (see below), feelings,
life situations,
questions and unexpected events in my inner journey.
DREAMPOOL: Here
my dreams are
listed
alphabetically on cards, with a
few words to indicate
theme, unusual element or chief character.
The dreams
are dated so that I can locate them easily in my dreamlog.
