I want a more ALIVE creative dream practice.
I want to feel more deeply connected to my dreams, and to the version of myself I want to become next.
I want to be deeper in my creative flow.
I have space for this. I can’t think of anything I need…
Except a WAY IN.
Because I am sitting here.
I pulled a tarot card.
I lit incense and a candle.
I’ve got a new sketchbook plus my journals and art supplies aplenty and…
I don’t know the way in.
I mean - this is what the Dream Book program is, lol. Ways in, prompts, starting points.
So what is the problem?
It’s hard to start.
It’s vulnerable and awkward.
This “new dream”… it’s kind of nebulous. I have named some parts of it but a lot of it feels unclear.
And I keep opening up my Dream Book to work on it and…
Well, is it resistance? Procrastination? Fear? Waiting for the “right time”?
I have coached SO MANY PEOPLE through this.
And yet I keep falling into it myself.
But of course I do!
THIS IS THE PROCESS.
This is how we get “ready” (in quotes because we’re always ready and rarely feel ready)
I AM IN THE PROCESS.
I made Dream Book the way I did, with all the short videos and step-by-step so that you can just DO ONE THING and those things will build on each other and at some point you’ll be in your flow with it…
I trust that.
AND
Somehow I am not doing it.
This is just such an interesting dynamic.
And here I am - I have a few hours set aside to do this and instead of doing it I am journaling about how interesting it it that I am NOT doing it.
This IS how we work through it.
By STAYING WITH it. Staying with the thoughts and feelings that come up when we’re NOT doing the thing we want to be doing.
THIS IS THE WORK.
Remember the compass of Creative Dream Alchemy. So often we want Outer Work to be the direction we are focused on, but that’s just not where we are.
BEING where we ARE and doing the work that is there, is the way to get to where we want to be.
Which means my options right now are:
- Do the video for resistance
- Or the Un-Sticking Station
- Or the video for when you are avoiding the Un-Sticking Station
- Or…. do the Dream Book. Go to the main checklist and click the link on the next thing you haven’t checked off. Or pick a think that looks interesting. Or start again from the beginning (I re-start OFTEN and highly recommend that approach!)
I am going to actually DO Dream Book. I’m on the website. I’m going to re-watch the video for The Dream Page and start a NEW Dream Page. the last few months I feel like I have refined my dreams and opened up to new ones, and I’m learning about what I want my life to look and feel like - and I want to capture all of this on a new Dream Page.
And whichever one you do remember: All you need is THE WAY IN.
You don't need to see the whole path.
All of these WAYS IN help you get into your Creative Dream Practice.
One you're IN IT - you'll see new options and possibilities.
