Directing you dreams

One way of beginning to remember and work with your dreams, is to start a dream journal where you ask your mind to focus on a specific issue by giving it a question. This is what I refer to as directing a dream.

You can begin by writing a question down in your dream journal. I normally phrase in this way: " Please give me a dream on ..., which I will remember when I wake up". In this way, I am programming myself to remember my dreams every time.

When you wake up, and before you get out of bed, or talk to any one (dreams do evaporate quickly!), write what you remember no matter how little the information is. You can also write words you woke up with, or describe how you felt, for example "I woke up thinking about the colour orange", or " I slept very well, woke up feeling good, but do not remember the dream". This is important.

As you begin to write something down, each following day your mind will be more and more focused, and you will begin to remember longer fragments of the dream. Your brain will note that you are committed and will start to "give you" more information.

I also normally write the date down and one line, which I call R. L., of what is happening in my Real Life at the time. This will help you integrate your dream with your personal life, or your subconscious with your conscious, increasing your level of awareness.

Dream Interpretation Consultation

I encourage my clients who are serious about developing their awareness, to work with their dreams, by starting a dream journal. This is because dreams are your mind’s indirect way of giving you useful information in a language that is formed by your conscious and subconscious belief system, memories, experiences, and emotional blue print.

Often, the mind creates symbols that represent situations and experiences that we go through. These symbols form significant components, or elements, of a dream conveying important messages, or insights, into whatever we are going through, physically and emotionally. If you like, it our mind's way of processing our experiences, and offering solutions.

Dreams reflect your own fears and hopes- your mental construct or belief system. Your brain is ticking along- even in your sleep state! That is why I truly believe that no self-development, or awareness, journey is complete, without looking into the language of dreams. Moreover, dreaming, or sleep time, represent 30% of our lives. It is, therefore, important to pay attention to messages that come through dreams.

Each dream, and its meaning, is unique to its "author". If two people were to have an identical dream, the interpretation and meaning may be entirely different because the mind’s language differs from person to person. Each would have created that dream using their mind’s language, or dictionary, and therefore symbols, events or people they dream about would represent and hold individually different meaning to each of them.

In a consultation session, we will take and in depth look at 1, 2, or 3 of your dreams at a time (depending on how long your dream is). I direct the session by asking you questions that will help to defragment your dream into its important components. I will highlighting important symbols, then explore what was going on in your "real life" at the time of the dream. Gradually, as we integrate both, your dream life and your real life, a picture will emerge that allows you to begin to understand your own dream language and the meaning of your dream.

As an additional tool to help understand and interpret your dreams, I suggest using The Cartouche Cards, which is now on offer to purchase through my online store.

Start a dream journal!

I have been working on my dreams and other people’s for more than 15 years. This journey started with meeting Jill Wood, an incredible person and a teacher, who opened up an entire new world for me.

Although any dream may hold some universal symbols within it, the dream as a whole represents a unique fingerprint of an individual’s mind. As such, the message which a dream communicates would also be unique and specific to the dreamer.

Over the years, this allowed me to develop a universal dictionary of the meaning of symbols in dreams; as well as what the dream, as a whole, means and what message it holds on a personal level.

As an additional tool to help understand and interpret your dreams, I suggest using The Cartouche Cards, which is now on offer to purchase through my online store.

You can experiment with sleeping with one card under your pillow, perhaps one that relates to a question you have on your mind, or do a spread and ask what does your dream mean. Follow the interpretation of the symbols, then write down how each card relates to your situation.
