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. I do my reports on the printable journaling sheet.

My dream sent me a really clear message: BELIVE IN ME, NOT AS A DREAM.

It meant, believe in me like I am real, because I am.

I noticed how I have been flip-flopping around about what my dream even is. For a while it was one thing, then suddenly that like it wasn't a dream... I wrote about how that felt like a goal, something I still wanted to work towards but something else was my DREAM.

Well, I think that was all true at the time. AND now it feels like perhaps I let go of that dream because I had hit a hard part? Like suddenly this other thing felt more important because it didn't have this really hard thing attached to it.

No judgement! It's ok to hit a hard part and take a step back.

But this week I felt ready to claim the other dream as the dream. And I am embracing the fact that the path is not linear.

And my dream was SO CLEAR about believing in it like it is real. So that's the lens I will look at things through over this next week... how would I do this if my dream was ALREADY real?

It just feels different on paper and I love that I have a growing stacks of Dream Status Reports sitting on my desk.

Lots of grounding this week.

After a few really difficult months adjusting to medication, I FEEL BETTER. My brain is working pretty consistently! I feel like I am finding the ground beneath me. This is so good.

I'm starting to figure out a program about HOPE for 2025 and the structure of it changes every day right now as I brainstorm, which is pretty normal for my creative process.

But I am realizing that I haven't created a year-long program since before the pandemic. Before my peri-menopause got bad. Before my marriage ended. Before I turned 50. It's like - I am in such a different place in so many ways, HOW DO I CREATE A PROGRAM NOW?

It's a lot to explore! I AM LOVING IT. I am slowing down and going deeper, in so many ways.

Lots of LEARNINGS this week.

Just from spending a lot of time journaling, reflecting, processing... I started to connect some MAJOR dots between "places where I feel stuck" and "places where I am acting out a pattern from childhood".

Like WHOA this is a thing from childhood I hadn't even really noticed until this week, and suddenly it's like... maybe this is the root of all the things that don't quite feel right.

It's so interesting how this happens... things start to feel more "not right" which feels like we are going in the wrong direction, but actually we are GOING TOWARDS CLARITY.

Always always always always follow the thoughts + feeling that come up when you work with your dream. They matter. They are showing you something. It could get uncomfortable along the way but they are leading somewhere really good.

My focus for next week is: devotion and trust.

What my Dream Status Report showed me that right now it's important I don't WORK or EFFORT for my dream, that I BE DEVOTED. Which could look like work at times... but feel completely different.

I have some ideas for a daily practice of drawing my dreams... excited to play with it.

I'm looking back through my reports form the last few months. So helpful to see the little things I am figuring out along the way.

These "little things" are adding up to real changes - I am feeling more stable and grounded in what I want to do next. I am feeling more stable and grounded in my nourishing routines.

Slowly, plans are coming into focus: a new way to promote my work and a new project. After months of just... being in the mystery with this kind of stuff is the best way I can describe it... it feels so good to have some clarity and be making solid plans.

AND I am remembering to be gentle. Now that I have plans, I want to race ahead and DO ALL THE THINGS but I need to go at the pace that is right for my body and mind, not just my creative spirit, lol.

My focus for next week is: soul and space.

Lots of "meetings with the souls of things" using the Dream Lab meditation.

My Dream Book feels ALIVE right now, I am giving it time every morning before anything else and that time is feeling really rich and rewarding.

Now I do my reports on the printable journaling sheet instead of on the computer, which I did for YEARS. I LOVE THIS. It just feels different on paper and I love this.

I want to highlight that last week my Friday post was all about disappointment and this week is the opposite.

This week I want to cry because I feel so grateful and happy to be where I am.

I've had three days in a row of feeling exactly like how I had hoped going on hormones would help me feel. I feel like I am 39 and I have never heard of perimenopause, lol. I am optimistic, creative and clear-headed, I have energy and I am so grateful to feel this way. AND I understand that this may be a part of the swings I have been experiencing and there is no guarantee that I will stay feeling exactly like this.

And with my dreams - for quite a while I've been in the process of figuring out how I want to be showing up in certain areas of my business, and feeling like I've been flailing around and not getting anywhere. And then this week it all CLICKED.

This happens! Things click! IF we stay in the process, we do work through it. Even when we are just circling around the answer, the process of circling is helpful.

This week my focus is on grounding and acclimating.

Feeling so grateful for the way my relationship with myself and my dreams has shifted, feeling grateful for new systems and routines I have built... it feels like a miracle to be where I am right now, and I want to take the time to get grounded and acclimated to this place, with THIS relationship with myself, my dreams and my creativity. I know I need these inner changes to feel really STEADY before I do the next part of the outer work.

It was another rough week at Creative Dream Headquarters.

I saw my doctor, all of my symptoms are the usual side effects and we're still hopeful that I will be adjusted to this medication in the next month or so but in the meantime... YUCK.

I'm also realizing that, all this time I was thinking if I finally went to my doctor for help then that would mean... I would for sure GET help. But that's not necessarily true... maybe my doctor won't be able to help and I will need to go a different route.

This is SO like creative dreaming where you have this idea about something, and you are so sure about it... and then once you set out down that path - you find out how wrong you were.

It can be really disappointing, especially if it took a lot for you to set out on that path, and you were counting on it working out.

In the bigger picture, we always learn from this, we can alway apply that learning to figuring out the next steps but in the moment it can be really brutal. Membership members - remember the disappointment practices in the Library of Inner Work practices.

So, that's where I am. Lot of disappointment that I'm not feeling better yet which, at times, turns into fear that I will never feel better. I know this is not true AND I am just being in the mess with it as well as I can.

This week was rough.

Adjusting to this medication I am on could take 3 months, and every time I am feeling better I think "this is it I'm adjusted!" and then I crash again.

I am remembering that we don't dream in a vacuum, we dream in the world, as it is, in our lives, as they are. And things will not always been smooth.

We can't wait for "things to be easier" we need to engage with our dreams from within our lives as they actually are. That's where the magic happens.

Filling in the prompts this morning I saw... my explorations of DEPTH and STRATEGY, now STRATEGY/STRUCTURE is where I need to focus, so I'll keep exploring next week.

I am looking for a new way of working, like a shift in my own routines not much WHAT I do, but HOW, and... making changes is chaotic sometimes. That's how this feels.

Routine has always been HUGE for me for my own self care and emotional wellbeing. So changing routines brings up a lot of stuff. It's good to remember that, to accept that it may be hard to re-arrange things, and remember I will settle back into new routines, routines that are a better fit for where I am now and where I want to be next.

This was ANOTHER amazing week.

That's two in a row, lol!

I already wrote about the last-minute retreat I went on. It was SO GOOD to get away like that.

Wandering around in the woods I had this felt sense of how POWERFUL our creativity is.

Getting away from everything helped me shift my perspective and look at some changes I want to make.

I've been doing this work full time for almost 14 years! All the thought and effort I put in to figuring out my routines and ways of doing things served me so well over the years... AND... it's time to re-evaluate. This feels exciting AND it's a lot to step back far enough to re-evaluate.

Filling in the weekly Dream Status Report journaling sheet this morning this was clear: I need to find the sweet spot between DEPTH and STRATEGY.

I am feeling called to be deeper in my creativity and deeper in my healing and deeper in the creative dream process. AND I want a clearer strategy that supports me in this.

So I am drawing that ven diagram - of depth and strategy - and exploring.

It was an amazing week.

The Self Doubt healing circle felt so powerful and transformative. (Call details are here, registration is here if you're not in the membership)

So much is shifting in my relationship with self doubt, and the ways it was kind of buzzing beneath the surface, impacting me in ways I couldn't see, and now I can see, so now have new options for how to work with it.

I'm in a place that feels both dreamy and powerful. Not so focused on the outer work, but working on plans for what I want to do next, and mostly focused on growing into that version of me who takes the next steps.

I feel more patient with the process than I have felt in a long time, and so grateful to feel this way.

I am trusting my dream! And while I did the Dream Lab Meditation with this journaling sheet, it told me to TREAT IT LIKE IT'S REAL. I love that.

Now I do my reports on the printable journaling sheet instead of on the computer, which I did for YEARS. I LOVE THIS. It just feels different on paper.

It was a hard week.

I wrote yesterday how I've felt mired in self doubt because I've been exploring it more deeply getting ready for next week's Self Doubt healing circle. (Call details are here, registration is here if you're not in the membership)

But that's a PURPOSEFUL hard, I know I am digging into things that are beneath the surface, and clearing things out - which means I will end up feeling more free, powerful and connected to myself.  And it was DELIBERATE since I chose to do it.

Then also it was hard because I am adjusting to the hormones my doctor put me on. On that front, I really was thinking "As soon as I ask for help, and get it, I will start feeling better" Well that's not how it works, lol. My doctor did warn me it COULD take 3 months to adjust and my symptoms COULD be even worse during that time but I was like "NO, things have been so hard, they need to get easier"

Well, things are only harder on that front.

The hard was MADE WORSE BY MY ATTITUDE.

Going into it with "I'm sure this will go really well for me" meant I wasn't prepared for it to NOT go well. Optimism does have a place, but it works best combined with realism, I think. Like "I'm intending for this to go well, but just in case - what is my plan if I struggle with it? Because I don't want to leave myself in a position where I'm struggling and not prepared to do the things I could do to make it easier..."

This is what I found in my practice with the Dream Status Report prompts this week: I'm acting like I am 100% at the mercy of these drugs and their side effects and all I can do it wait it out.

In a way yes that's true. But in another way, these symptoms, especially the anxiety and depression, are symptoms that I DO know what to do with. And I'm not doing those things because "I'm just at the mercy of the drugs and their side effects"

I'm not sure if that will make sense to anyone but myself, but this is the magic of doing this reflection practice every week. We learn from OUR OWN experience, we learn the lessons we need to learn.

So I am back in INTENSE self care mode and feeling much better! If I know these drugs make me more prone to depression and anxiety then I will PILE ON with all the things that help mentally, emotionally and physically.

I wish I was a person who just woke up feeling inspired, energized and optimistic but I'm not. And a part of my INTENSE self care is cutting back on "doing things" like being out in the world, so I have more time, and that time is going to DREAM BOOKING and this feels amazing.

So at the end of the journaling sheet, the focus I have for next week is: More Dream Work. BE in the VIBE!

Now I do my reports on the printable journaling sheet (this is accessible to everyone who reads the blog, not just for membership people) instead of on the computer, which I did for YEARS. I LOVE THIS. It just feels different on paper.

Last week I was SO crabby and lost.

I went to a coffee shop to do my journaling and didn't even have the prompts printed out and that felt like a real metaphor for how I was feeling about everything.

This week is so different! I printed out five new copies of the sheets and marvelled at the magic of printing from my phone while still in bed, and then picking up the sheet at my printer downstairs when I was ready to leave.

I really enjoyed this, I even filmed myself filling in the sheet and I'll share it, sped up, as a reel on Instagram today. I am having so much fun with that.

The focus I came to at the end of the sheet is: being my most wildly joyfully engaged self.

I'm still in that tango with resistance. But I have new information about that!!

I saw my doctor about hormone replacement last week, and she was asking about my symptoms and... she told me low motivation is a perimenopause symptom AND it's especially common with the other symptoms that I have.

And I think some of my resistance IS a lack of motivation and if the hormones could help that.... whoa.

So, yes, I am on hormones now! (no advice or feedback about the medical stuff! My doctor really understands this! I do want to share more about this too though - not the hormones themselves, but the process of GETTING HELP when you've been feeling like shit for a long time)

Time will tell if the hormones do help... but regardless I have a new dream work practicing of choosing to hold the intention that the hormones ARE helping and I AM becoming more motivated every day.

I had not ever, in all of my (many!!!) explorations of resistance, noticed that I do have less motivation than I used to have. It's like I've just been blaming myself for being foggy and tired and not wanting to do anything.

I'm excited about where these explorations will go. I'm starting with "I am more motivated every day" and using the meditation for the weekly mantras for exploring my reactions. Maybe get a list going about WHAT motivates me? How I WANT to be motivated?

Week 5 of me doing my reports on the printable journaling sheet (this is accessible to everyone who reads the blog, not just for membership people) instead of on the computer, which I did for YEARS. I LOVE THIS. It just feels different on paper.

EXCEPT... I am in a coffee shop and don't have a new printed copy AND I am HAVING A DAY.

I'm crabby. I'm too hot. I'm overwhelmed by everything

I've done a bunch of journaling about how I feel and what I need and how I want to feel and blah blah blah.

This is the thing about creative dreaming as a PRACTICE.

You can show up crabby some days. Lots of days even!

JUST KEEP SHOWING UP. No particular step needs to amazing, if you are taking steps all the time.

So my step for today - is just to say "Oh shit I didn't print out another copy of the dream status report, I will try to do that later today but if I don't get to it, I will just make up a focus for next week"

My focus for next week: FEEL GOOD. ENJOY THE PROCESS.

That's what I want so much right now on such a crabby morning. And also I am seeing my doctor next week about starting hormone replacement therapy. No comments on that please, I am feeling really good about my decision.

Week 4 of me doing my reports on the printable journaling sheet (this is accessible to everyone who reads the blog, not just for membership people) instead of on the computer, which I did for YEARS. I LOVE THIS. It just feels different on paper.

Optimism + Consistency breeds Patience and Trust

That's what my journaling brought me to.

Last week's focus was: soft + trusting + determined and I really did feel that way in a sense, but DETERMINED is not quite the right word.

Determined is the word I used because it was like.. trusting wasn't quite enough. Trusting felt passive and I was feeling this sense of wanting to be ACTIVELY trusting which felt like determined.

This week that shifted into: optimism + consistency breeds patience and trust.

Being patient and trusting WHILE ALSO being optimistic and showing up consistently. This feels like THE VIBE.

Trust as a verb.
