DREAMS

Before going to a large herb conference to speak about our school, the Herbal Healing Journey, I dreamed that I spoke last. There were only a few people left in the audience. 

When I went to the conference I requested to speak first or second. They agreed and I spoke to a full room. When the last person on the panel spoke there were only a few people left.

Do This! 

Exercise 54 • Working with Dreams Using All the Paths 

Write your dreams down in a dream journal, the voice path. Discuss your dreams with a close friend, someone who cares about you and your dreams. Ask them what stands out for them in the dream or in the telling of the dream, relationship path. Draw your dreams, vision path. Dance or move your dreams, the movement path. What feelings are invoked, the feeling path. As you work with your dream and feel you know what it is telling you, then act on it out in the world, the community path.

Light dream\DARK dream\No dream

  A light dream is something that touches and ignites the core of your being causing
      your cells to sing.

  A dark dream is a frog at the bottom of a dark well croaking a mournful song that
      causes your cells to collapse in resignation.

  A no dream is Buddha at a night club dancing and drinking without attachment.

Do This! 

Exercise 55 • Working with Your Life Dreams 

Imagine the most optimistic future you can for your self. Stay with this vision as long as you can. This is your light dream. Write down your light dream. 

Imagine this future as impossible, dark dream. Drop attachment to either dream, no dream.
