This is the mantra I got in this week’s Dream Book journaling + alchemy kit: My future is bright
Use the meditation for the weekly mantras to dig in deeper to the mantra, or put your hands on your heart and take five deep slow breaths and repeat to yourself:
My future is bright
Notice where this lands in your body, what thoughts and feelings get sparked.
There is no right or wrong way to react. But your actual thoughts and feelings can tell you something about what you need right now.
My reaction: this feels so familiar and comforting.
I said this to myself A LOT when my husband first left me and I was in shock. It’s like the future I saw just disappeared and I couldn’t see anything in it’s place and I would say to myself “My best life is ahead of me” and I really did feel it and mean it but also couldn’t see it.
And now, almost a year later… I believe it AND I’m not always so sure of my next steps.
I feel like I’ve let go of that relationship but there is deeper work still around… I don’t even have words for it all. But to make a big commitment and be building a life around it and then to have it just walk away on you…
A marriage IS a dream and when a dream leaves you, when you work hard for it and it doesn’t work out - this makes it harder to keep dreaming.
And I know everyone has had a dream not work out.
And I know I am in a wildly transformational time and I KNOW/BELIEVE that I will look back at this time, at this version of myself, and be so grateful for her for continuing to walk through the fire, and follow every rabbit hole that pops up.
A divorce is such an opportunity for healing, so much childhood stuff gets dredged up. So much stuff I thought was healed or gone - here it all is.
And to be confident and energetic enough to be self employed through this… it’s just a YIKES some days.
Because of the nature of my work, my work itself is not hard. I’m doing more calls than ever in the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership and I’m loving it.
It’s the marketing and selling and being “out there” and coming up with effective and strategic plans that’s been hard.
But I don’t want to “push through” or force myself to do all the things…
I want to see this time as a sacred transformative fire. We have so much power to choose the narrative which does change our options.
I am MAKING my future bright.
If you want to work on this with me:

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!)!
My Dream Status Report for the week:
I finally did it! I hand-wrote my report on the printable journaling sheet (this is accessible to everyone who reads the blog, not just for membership people)
I want to have a stack of these sheets just tucked into my Dream Book. My weekly reports showing the little things I learn along the way.
Hand writing it was SO GOOD. Re-writing the dream, why I want the dream, AND the new moon intention, AND the weekly focus from last week's Dream Status Report felt like A LOT but... making a dream happen IS a lot. Consciously directing change to happen in your life IS a lot. And NEEDS a lot. I signed up for this 😉
I like that I wrote it all out differently than I usually do, I think I do just write differently by hand than typing and not being able to copy paste last week's answers to start from (which is how I do these typed posts) is probably really good for me.
What feels awkward and not as good is that I don't know how to share them here.
I will put photos below but... I don't know, that doesn't quite feel right. And the process is annoying - taking a photo (what if I don't have the right light? Like right now in the heat of summer I close the curtains a lot, in the winter I tend to do this journaling before the sun is even up, etc) and then air dopping it to my laptop feels like a clunky extra step.
CLUNKY EXTRA STEP
That's how change sometimes feels.
I'm just taking the clunky extra awkward step this week and we'll see where this goes for next week.

This is one of the things I've been doing in my journal lately and I LOVE IT.
This is a journal that I used for just bitching and complaining, lol. This is not a Dream Book! I started using it ONLY when I am upset, because I wanted to look back and see patterns and stuff. It was an extra journal I had and an idea to experiment with it.
It always felt weird, just all this bad stuff and no real resolution. Dream Book is where I would work THROUGH things, like using the un-sticking station.
Then I got the idea to go back through it, and paint over every page, and write out the transformation of the thing I was bitching about and it just feels magic. Now I can flip through it and it's a journal of healing.

As discussed, I've been stuck and I've been circling around some stuff for some time. But this is good!
And as I shared yesterday, I had a high anxiety day and was having a panic attack - crying, upset, and that's when everything changed.
It FELT LIKE all of the intense feelings knocked something loose.
But as I reflect, I don't think that's what it is.
I think I've been paying attention in a deeper way to my feelings. For sure I've been going deeper into them in the divorce process and all the ways it digs up ALL THE STUFF.
But in spending more time processing my feelings, I am more familiar with all the different sensations in my body... and so when I felt stuck with my creative dream, and really sat with that feeling, and all of my feelings were magnified as it was a high anxiety day... well I FELT it. In my body. It felt the same as some divorce stuff I've been processing.
I didn't understand it in my mind.
I still don't fully understand it.
But I FELT it. And then everything I know about this feeling, in regards to my healing process with my divorce, I suddenly saw how it applies to my creative dreams.
And something shifted. And then I saw new options I hadn't seen before.
All because I sat with the feelings even when they felt too big to sit with.
Over and over I am reminded that the feelings that come up as we work on our dreams are not accidents. They are the path.

The whole thing about showing up for your dream as a PRACTICE as that the practice itself becomes a container that holds your PROCESS of becoming the version of you who can do the thing.
This doesn’t mean it feels like magic every time.
It’s boring or hard just as often as it’s healing and magically creative.
In yesterday's post I mentioned that tension or twistiness of being in that space where you can't just step into your dream.
Sometimes, like has been happening for me for a while - you are circling something. And you need that time to circle!
You need that process of circling to work through things you don’t even know you are working through.
And it’s really hard to keep showing up in those times. Because it doesn't feel like you are circling, you just feel STUCK.
I’ve been feeling like I know I’m resisting something but I can’t quite see my resistance. There’s just this vague sense of avoiding something and feeling stuck.
So, I kept showing up. Practicing. Noticing what’s happening. Being with these feelings of sensing out resistance beneath the surface but not being able to get at it or even understand what I am resisting.
And then that all blew up.
I was having a high anxiety day that turned into a panic attack. I was crying and trying to soothe myself when suddenly my whole perspective changed.
It’s like the intense feelings created a disturbance in me that loosened what was stuck. That’s how it felt.
And looking back I can see how long I’ve been circling this and I am embarrassed about that BUT ALSO we have to circle for as long as we have to circle.
Circling is actually PRODUCTIVE.
The only thing that is ever not productive is to stop showing up at all.

This is the mantra I got in this week’s Dream Book journaling + alchemy kit: I am ready to step into my dream.
Use the meditation for the weekly mantras to dig in deeper to the mantra, or put your hands on your heart and take five deep slow breaths and repeat to yourself:
I am ready to step into my dream.
Notice where this lands in your body, what thoughts and feelings get sparked.
There is no right or wrong way to react. But your actual thoughts and feelings can tell you something about what you need right now.
My reaction: Ahhh! This one feels palpable in my whole body. Like a YES.
It’s time for this STEP.
I can’t articulate exactly what that means which is a little frustrating. To feel this whole body YES about taking a step and not knowing what that step looks like in any practical sense.
But during our Marketing as a Creative + Spiritual Practice call last week, the soul of my business did ask me: “Why are you not visualizing your goal every morning first thing when you wake up?”
And I didn’t have an answer to that question…
Not that I think visualizing your goals first thing when you wake up is VITAL. I do lots of creative dream practices. It only matters THAT you show up, not so much HOW you show up.
But the way the question came in, it felt like - this is the thing that is right for right now, so why aren’t you doing it?
BUT. AND. ALSO.
There was this twistiness in the question, in... well like there was something I was not seeing. Because that's a weird way to say "I need you to visualize every morning"
But to go off on a different little tangent...
Recently the mantra was "I am ready for my next steps" and I am noticing how different this one feels.
AND noticing the medicine of having a new mantra float in every week, bringing it into my body and consciousness and letting it have some space to see what takes root. And so new mantras can merge with the energy and shifts left from old mantras...
Because I am ready to step into my dream feels HUGE.
And I wouldn't be able to feel ready for anything HUGE without practicing being ready for little baby next steps.
Back to the twistiness...
I left that meditation in Marketing as a Creative + Spiritual practice feeling like there is something I am not seeing, that the Creative Dream Incubator really needs me to see.
I didn't feel like I am doing something WRONG. Just that I can't see something.
This is so uncomfortable to sit with.
So I AM READY TO STEP INTO MY DREAM feels palpable and powerful
AND
There is a frustration around not knowing what this looks like because I have been taking steps but none of them have, so far, landed me right in the dream.
AND IT'S LIKE
Do I just keep taking these steps or does something else need to change?
And it felt like the energy of my marriage. Where I was so in love with my husband, and so willing to work on it AND he was drowning, traumatic events kept happening in his life and he dependence on alcohol was becoming a bigger and bigger problem and it's like... do I keep trying or do I walk away?
Not that I want to walk away from my dreams!!!!
But it felt like the same energy.
Does something else need to change?
And then the message from the Creative Dream Incubator and the twistiness...
The step that lands me in my dream is different from the steps I have been taking.
Which is good information
AND
It's very difficult information because the steps I have been taking are the steps I see to take. Like I always say - take the step that's in front of you.
BUT/AND
Taking the step that are in front of me has led me here, to this place of palpably feeling like I need to make a change, and not knowing what the change is.
There is a tension in this.
And then the next step is: stay in the tension.
This is what I mean when I say to follow the rabbit holes.
Explore all the stuff that comes up from an affirmation or idea...
It won't all make sense!!!!
And the path may be so convoluted that no one would ever believe it's a path...
But giving it all space DOES bring you what you need.
(Because I write these ahead of time, I already know that STAYING IN THE TENSION brought me amazing stuff, I'll share more on that this week)
If you want to work on this with me:
If I am growing feels good and encouraging, hold it with you today. Look at problems, questions, stucks and obstacles through this lens and see what ideas it brings.

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!)!
My Dream Status Report for this week:
PART ONE:
My dream is: I am calling it "my magical new life". There are lots of "outer things" this includes, but right now I am really thinking about... how do I want to FEEL in my life? What are the QUALITIES of my life? Where is the meaning and purpose and joy?
I want it because: I feel like I am in a transitional space and I want to build something more solid.
When I have it I will feel: More grounded and stable - like settled in my most magical life. Right now it feels like I am DREAMING and BUILDING my most magical life.
PART TWO:
Invite the soul of your dream in (using the Dream Lab practice) to help you with the rest of the prompts.
It shows up as sparkling stars around me. I feel really soothed by them, and I start to feel more confident.
PART THREE:
Last week’s focus was: Letting go of old stories. Digging deep into the Inner Work - and doing more Dream Work to GROUND the inner work changes.
What happened in the last week?
I was sick for a bunch of it. BUT I did a ton of journaling and meditation and I feel really connected to myself and my dreams.
Journaling feels so extra magic and healing and necessary to me now. I am filling journals so quickly.
This morning I was anxious, and I sat down with my journal and started writing my feelings and felt my body calm. Like this journal is holding space for me to hold space for myself and my feelings and it was so beautiful. It's like I am getting to a new level in my relationship with journaling.
What am I learning/How do I feel about this?
I want to scream that I hate this mid-life time. I am just so stretched.
But I also want to be where I am. This is a powerful time of healing and shifting perspectives and it feels rich with magic BUT ALSO so heavy.
I keep feeling like "I need more space" but then I'm like... what does that even mean? I live alone and work from home. There are a few stressful things in my life right now but they're not overtaking everything... and yet I want to honour this "I need more space" feeling... And often "more space" isn't about more time alone or more quiet time, it's about less screens, less focus on productivity, and more quality time.
What do I need now?
More space, ha!
What does my dream need now?
Oh! I feels like my dream is giving me a hug, saying "I know this part is hard. Please keep going"
Taking all of this into account, my focus for the next week is:
Quality time with myself and my dream

Even though I still have LOTS of stucks to un-stick, I am really feeling in the flow.
I am taking steps and making measurable progress and growing in my connection with my dream self who has completed this project.
And as I was working this morning I thought - oh this was such a FRUITFUL time.
Then, riding my bike home, I thought about the word fruitful and how I love it. I never really use it but I really embodies the qualities of what I want my creative time to be…
And then it hit me - I want to replace productive with fruitful.
I don’t want to be or feel productive. I don’t want to figure out how to make myself be more productive… which I have done a lot of in my life.
I want my creative time to be fruitful.
This feels more like a ripening.
An opening.
A blossoming even!
And less like a factory production line.
Productivity is one of the things I have been… struggling with? Exploring? Trying to transform? … since the start of the pandemic when overwhelm kind of took over.
I love how it feels to complete projects. I love putting my work out there. I depend on putting my work out there to support myself. I love how it feel to be in the creative flow…
But I have not been loving the whole vibe around “productive”
So, replacing that with fruitful feels really good. Like maybe some stuff can untangle on its own and I can bear more fruit without feeling like a factory worker.
Ohhhh
For people who have been reading my blog a verrrrrry long time, early in the Creaive Dream incubator's history I had this metaphor I worked with that was the creative dream factory.
And it wasn’t loads of workers working for piecework and needing to work as fast as possible or anything like that. It was a big spacious cool creative dreamy space for me to work in, with robots who took my ideas and helped turn them into, I don’t remember exactly, the stuff that runs the business I guess.
There were big bean bags and art supplies everywhere. Lots of permission to nap and dream.
But still, it was a factory and we were producing dreams.
And I’m not saying that was wrong! It was such a helpful way for me to see my work at the time.
But now I want the Creative Dream Incubator to be a meadow.
Things can blossom and bear fruit. So much fruit!
But some things also die.
Some things take long breaks for the winter.
It just feel more organic.
AND it feels like it answers a lot of my questions about how I want to be with my work. Like, I don’t want to go back to my pre-pandemic self. Not that I could I if I wanted to.
Same for my married self.
But who am I now and who is the Creative Dream Incubator now and how to we work together in service of dreams?
Some parts of that are obvious and fully functioning.
But there is always room for growth and change and new possibilities.
This just feels really good.

This year I wanted to explore my relationship with resistance.
And I’ve been a lot more mindful of it. And all sorts of things have shifted.
AND
There are still all these places where it feels tangly and murky.
Today here is this part of me who just wants to sink into nothingness doesn’t want me exploring bright new creative paths.
Sink into nothingness is the only way I can describe it. This part of me wants to numb and avoid.
And I get so frustrated with it. But I want to be curious about it instead, so let’s try…
Hey, resistance, part of me who wants to sink into nothingness, I’d like to understand you better.
In what way?
Well, I understand how much I want to DO the creative ideas I have and explore new things and just generally FEEL ALIVE in my life. And I feel like you don’t want that, and try to stop me, and I don’t understand.
I just sit with this, how I have these two parts of me, how I relate to one of them more than the other and how they don’t relate to each other at all.
So I ask her: Can you see the things I am dreaming of here? How do you feel about them?
Oh wow they look gorgeous. Yes I can see them. But they are for the future. They’re not here.
Right. So you need them to be here already before we can pursue them?
Kind of.
But you know it doesn’t work that way, right?
No. I mean - we are here. There’s a lot of heaviness and reasons to go slow here. Are you sure you aren’t trying to just leap ahead into the future to avoid being here? Are you really sure I am the one avoiding?
Umm ok this doesn’t feel fruitful. I mean - do we just point fingers and call each other avoiders?
It feels like my inner conversations are so convoluted lately.
But let’s keep going.
Yeah, I see where you are right! I am trying to avoid and avoidance, in a way. I do want to change what is happening right now. I want to be doing the things I want to be doing. I don’t want to be tired and heavy.
But I am SO tired and heavy.
OK but we agree about the future we are moving toward, right?
Right.
That’s good! But - are you saying you don’t want to take ANY steps now?
I need to feel ready.
Do you know how many things I have written about “waiting to feel ready is bullshit”?
She just looks at me.
Am I wrong?
Am I wrong?
Yeah, I think you are. I’m sorry! I think we can’t WAIT to feel ready, but we can WORK ON feeling ready. We can take smaller steps, take a gentler approach.
This doesn’t feel resolved in any way, but I do feel like this big sticky resistance is quietly considering other options. I love that we agree on the future we are moving towards.
A few hours, I felt into this in a new way.
This part of me who feels NOT READY does need a different approach. HEALING and ART and MAGIC as a part of the work.
I mean - this is what Dream Book IS
AND…
There are always more layers. And there are always time when I try to focus more on Outer Work - like right now because I know exactly what I want to do, I just can’t do it.
And this part of me comes to life when she FEELS SAFE ENOUGH to move forward. Journaling and meditation (and lately painting in my journals, but I don’t think that’s necessary, we all need to follow our own creative flow about what we do in our journals) I just spent some time journaling and now this whole dynamic feels different.
Lately, spending lots of time with my Dream Book is helping me grow self trust.
So grateful for this!

Actually, Outer Work grounds Inner Work too...
But: Dream Work will help you ground all of this Inner Work was the message I got last week.
Each of the works - Dream Work, Inner Work, Outer Work, support each other. (Check out the Creative Dream Alchemy class for more on this)
And when you’re doing a lot of one of them, it’s good to think about how the others may help you, too.
Since I have so much Inner Work coming at me, spending more time with Dream Work is helping me GROUND the changes I am making with Inner Work.
For me, right now, trying to do more Outer Work to ground the Inner Work would only make me more overwhelmed. But sometimes doing more Outer Work is the thing you need to ground those inner changes.
What do you need?
Think about what's been happening for you with your creative dreams lately...
Do you have lots of inspiration and clarity? Are you feeling really in alignment with yourself, and the version of you you are growing into? (Dream Work)
Do you feel stuck? Are a lot of fears and doubts coming up? Or a sense of heaviness or fogginess? (Inner Work)
Are you getting stuff done? Making measurable progress? (Outer Work)
Whichever one you are most focused on right now - look at the other two.
Could doing more of those help you with the one you're more focused on?
