Note: This is a post about my daily practice with my Creative Dreams - I often link to the tools, courses and processes I use which are available to Dream Book members. If you're not a member, find out more + join us here.

On Fridays I do my Dream Status Report which is a series of prompts I use every week to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path. You can do them with me (Dream Book members: come post yours in the forum!)!

I know doing the same prompts every week can be annoying sometimes but this is magically clarifying. The repetition helps you go deeper into the process and makes it easier to LEARN from your process as you go, and the apply those learnings right away.

Here are the prompts:

PART ONE: (sometimes these can stay the same for months at time, sometimes they change often)

My dream is:  

I want it because: 

When I have it I will feel:

 

PART TWO:

Invite your dream in (using the Dream Lab practice) to help you with the rest of the prompts.

 

PART THREE:

My goal/wish/intention for this New Moon is:

Last week’s focus was:

What happened in the last week?

What am I learning/How do I feel about this?

What do I need now?

What does my dream need now?

Taking all of this into account, my focus for the next week is:

My Dream Status Report for this week:

PART ONE: 

My dream is: Being the artist + writer I want to be. Feeling really alive. I already have it AND it's an always-work-in-process... right now there is a lot shifting around how much/what kind of art I make and working on creating more nourishing/robust/lively local creative community.

I want it because: This is hard to answer. I just want it.

When I have it I will feel: The same as now - ALL the feelings 🙂

My new moon intention: Give myself quality time and attention.

 

PART TWO: Invite your dream in (using the Dream Lab practice) to help you with the rest of the prompts.

My dream shows up as a genie in a bottle. Or maybe coming out of a lamp? A genie anyway, and it wants to grant my wishes.

I feel like this is nice but I don't understand it? And that's ok.

 

PART THREE:

Last week’s focus was: What would love do?

What happened in the last week? 

My husband and I split up. Clearly, this was some time coming, it's been happening over the last month but this last week it all became real.

So - difficult week. But I actually did carve out some creative time which felt like EVERYTHING.

What am I learning/How do I feel about this?

I am feeling pretty much ALL the feelings.

What do I need now?

I have been practicing exceptional self care, I need to keep this up.

What does my dream need now?

Last week at this part my dream sent me this image of two hands holding two hands and I thought it meant "keep trying". But what happened is that my husband and I got to a point where we were standing like that, two hands holding two hands, both crying, both knowing that this is the right thing and doing our best to leave in a good way. And it feels like this is what my dream meant - to get to this place of leaving in a good way, not throwing our shit at each other on the way out.

This week my dream isn't doing anything to show me what it needs - it just wants to offer me love.

Taking all of this into account, my focus for the next week is:

Exceptional Self Care which is just elevating the role of self care. Drinking enough water, nutrient dense foods, lots of sleep, bike rides, time in the park, time with friends, etc.
