My Dream Status Report for this week:

PART ONE:

My dream is: I want to get an RV or camper van and travel… WITH MY CAT BEAR!!!! Create a comfy cozy home on wheels, and write + make art on the road while we have adventures. AND... I have a new creative dream which I am still not ready to talk bout.

I want it because: It feels so sweet and makes me happy. And the new dream, which is more about art I want to make, feels like it will expand and energize my whole life.

When I have it I will feel: I think I will feel so happy, free and thrilled with my life.

PART TWO:

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

My dream shows up as a field of flowers in outer space with stars and nebulas (?) It feels like allowing the ALIVENESS and magic and mystery of life.

I had a really stressful week with a loved one having surgery, which triggered a lot of stress from when my step-son was in the hospital for so long, and kept having life-threatening complications. I'm so grateful the surgery yesterday didn't have complications and my loved one is at home recovering. But still, it brought up A LOT of stress and my body still needs more time to process and release.

Remembering this ALIVENESS and magic and mystery feels good.

PART THREE:

Last week’s focus was: Take my next steps and keep taking them. Listen to myself about what I need from moment to moment.

What happened in the last week? As I said, a very stressful week. I did focus on listening to myself about what I need from moment to moment. My anxiety was REALLY high and I did a good job of taking care of myself. I did not take as many steps with my projects as I'd hoped.

But I did finish the new page for the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership! I set up the Friday coaching calls, which start next week. I took good steps!

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

I feel tired. Still anxious. Still feeling frustrated that I can't always feel exactly how I want to feel!

AND accepting my feelings, taking care of them, taking care of me.

AND I have so many things to look forward to. This weekend my Craftivism group is doing our first Craft Bombing! I made some fabric banners, people are making whatever they want, then we are getting to together to put them up in the same place. My friend is having a "high tea" birthday and I am making lavender cupcakes for it.

There is so much good in my life, so many new things opening up. Sometimes it feels like I shouldn't have sadness or anxiety or any uncomfortable feelings because things are going so well and I have so much to be grateful for, but that's not how life works.

What do I need now?

Focus on self care.

What does my dream need now?

The flowers and stars and nebulas all want to give me a hug. They want healing for me.

Healing is a function of dreaming and dreaming is a function of healing.

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

Remember it's all a part of it! Self care and creativity-nourishing routines and Dream Work and Inner Work and Outer work. Keep showing up, trust the process.
