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.
