Dreaming Article continued from last page. But as the morning progresses and Steve leads each of us through the content of our dreams and dream fragments, we discover something amazing - the most important clues to the answers we have been seeking are contained in the very fragments we were ready to dismiss. “Breakthrough
dreams can come in any form,”
Steve says. “Often for
beginning dreamers, all that
you will remember is the single
fragment that burned its way
into your mind. Should it be
too surprising that it's
the key? The fragment that sticks
is the one with emotional content,
and we know that emotion is
the most common thread that
connects dreams to life.”
As
the workshop comes to a close
late Sunday afternoon, we are
satisfied and elated. The images
and impressions from our dreams
and dream fragments - without
exception - have provided the
breakthroughs we have been seeking.
Each of us has experienced a
profound “Ahah!” that
gave new insight into our situations.
We have unlocked our dreaming
experience and opened new doors
to the future.
Steve
ends the day with a review of
our new skills, and he congratulates
and encourages us to keep practicing.
“I
was amazed to learn how there
can be so much information in
a fragment of your own mind's
eye,” Avril tells me after
the workshop. “You can
really find what you're
looking for in whatever is set
forth. Never underestimate the
power of a dream at first glance.”
“I
was totally blown away by the
information that was contained
in one tiny little fragment,”
Christy says. “I've
got a much clearer understanding
of what I need to do now and
what stands in my way.”
“For
me,” Tim says, “the
incredible realization was the
stuff we were calling fragments
were really rich. The keys to
what we were looking for were
right there.”
Tim
admits he came to the workshop
with some “really lofty
things” he wanted to accomplish.
It was a big awakening for him
to see how much he might be
missing in the small pieces,
the fragments.
“I
kind of see dreaming like a
three-act play,” he says.
The big action seems to take
place in the first and second
acts, but all that movement
is really the set up in preparation
for that one important moment
at the end of the third act
- the pivotal moment for the
whole play.
“The
big dreams we think are really
important turned out to be staging
for that fragment we almost
didn't describe,” he
tells me.
Now,
Tim thinks of his dreaming mind
as a partner and a resource.
“Dreams are like your all-knowing
and all-loving best friends
- they are there for you,”
he says. “It's been
fantastic counseling. I know
that it's not going to let
me down.”
For
me, the lesson is clear. Our
dreaming minds are ready and
willing to respond to us. If
I provide clear questions and
make a heart-felt request for
guidance, I will be given answers.
It's then up to me to learn
how to listen.
