The School of Dreams
Each night…even if we don’t remember…we attend a unique school…the dream school…the classroom for our soul...
Awakening The Inner Dreamer
Browsing social media or the news, it can be easy to start feeling like the world today is a living nightmare. But as a dreamworker, the nightmares that live inside of us are as vivid as what’s outside. The oppression, degradation, terror, and abuse that we find so overwhelming in our external world is depicted night after night as we toss and turn on our pillows.
Dreams And The Sound Of Voice
When we hear the voice of someone we love, the felt sense so particular to that person, this can affect us deeply. It’s like music our heart is attuned to, which has become part of us. We can feel this in our dreams. The experience of voice, its sound and tone and quality, is one of the ways dreams can bring us healing and open our hearts to connection. This can feel poignant when a departed loved one comes in our dreams.
Learning To Feel The Difference Between Making Progress And Being Born
Dreamwork can be a challenging spiritual practice that invites our humility. All true spiritual practices ask us to let go of our previous notions of “progress” and to continue the path without measuring the journey by those egoic standards of success. Within my desire for dreams to “show I am healing” there are some valid needs, and a lot of misperceptions.
What’s In Your Cage?
Who are the creatures in our dreams? And what does the way they are depicted express about our own experience and predicament? These are questions I have asked myself over the years, never fully comfortable with any one answer. Maybe that’s because dream creatures are so multifaceted.
