How to Dream Solutions Carey was flying through the black night sky. She felt the wind in her hair and smelled the dampness below her. When she looked down she knew how high she had flown and was afraid. Yet it is exhilarating too. She sees someone down below looking up at her. He can see her flying she wraps the black cloak she wears around her so he will not be able to see her flying. Then she woke up. Rubbing her eyes, wondering for a moment where she was. Oh, it was only a dream or was it a dream? It seems so real.
Whether they are illusionary like the one above or profound dreams They oftencan help us to actualize our waking goals Dreams often. indicate personal growth spurts. They are not prophesy like in the bible but if you can dectect within their illusionary, spiritual atmosphere a clue they can help you to know which way you want to go.
When my friend Carey first told me about this dream, her goal was to start writing again. She had lost touch with the creative side of herself. She had a good job. She had a happy marriage with two wonderful kids.
She used her creativity in her job as a window designer. She was creative with her children. But none of this was enough. She wanted to write again. Only her writing had ever made her
feel the full extent of her creativity. She loved every inute of the process She loved the research, the words. Oh how she loved words. through words she found her personal power. She loved the of writing down the words it seemed to her that she was nifesting something new into physical reality. It made her feel like was flying. So back to the dream of flying through the night. She also feared that she was not good enough to become a freelance writer
that could make a living with her stories. She wrapped the cloak around her her so no one could see her flying.
Realizing this Carey was excited but afraid. Change can be very rightening but she fcould no longer hide her need to be creative by writing. Not the black night sky would hide it or the black cloak she wrapped around her. Her creativity was surfacing and would t be denied. no She talked unendingly arguing with herself about why she could not quit her job and just start writing. I actively listened and back to her what she was saying. We a writing talked about starting to take class so she would have people to give her feed back about writing. She set some moderate goals for her transition to at least
start writing a little each day. The class would give her support and structure to do that. At the class she started making friends with other writers who didn't feel they could write full time. They provided the support she needed to keep talking about her need to write. She felt comfortable talking about it after class because they were all in the same boat.
later carey dreamed of a talking owl. Now owls are very wise and this one could talk. Owls also can fly in the dark and led the way as they see in the dark. The owl told her to follow him and he would lead her where she needed to go. He told her she was not alone. Some people come along and challenge her for talking to the owl. They say kill that bird. She refuses she will not kill the creativity within her or the support she has now she no longer feels alone. carl Jung said that dreams were the gateway to the subconscious mind. Though they may not be prophesy they can lead you along life's Journey they are a part of you and should be recognized and nutured as all parts of you. So use your dreams to fuel and unbraid your creativity.
