I woke up with a dream this morning that reminded me of some feelings that I had in elementary school. The primary feeling was fear, but there didn’t seem to be any reason for the fear. I was reluctant to relate to people even though they were friendly, open, and hospitable really wanting me to …
In the previous post about what kind of physical activity you can do when dealing with trauma I introduced the concepts of low intensity and high intensity exercise emphasizing the importance of low intensity work when you are in first working with your trauma. In this post I am going to show how to use …
Almost every week I receive a dream on the “free dream interpretation” page of this blog where someone is sleeping with their ex and then wondering what that is all about since they don’t have a relationship with that person anymore. It can be very disconcerting to get sexually stimulated with someone you thought you …
When you fall asleep at night, your body and mind go through a series of cycles intended to give you rest and recovery for the next day. At the same time, your spirit or your true self, goes off on various types of journeys when you are in your deepest periods of sleep to further …
What should your attitude be after you have had an intense nightmare or have gone through a horrific experience in real life? When most people begin working with what is happening with themselves, the first goal they have is to get rid of the recurrence of the negative feelings. When you are feeling a great …
Relating is learning.
“Let each morn be better than its eve and each morrow richer than its yesterday.” Baha’u’llah For many years I have been inspired by the above the quote because, in the simplest of terms, it explains the whole purpose of our life on the planet. We are hard wired to go after positive change in …
Every business or organization is a collection of people working to achieve success. Within every group of people working toward any goal there are strengths, and there are undeveloped capacities which show themselves as weaknesses or issues. We all have positive capacities, and we all have issues. No one is perfect. Our strengths are what …
Most of the dreams that people send me have a lot to do with fear. When you get to the core of someone’s inner work, there is always a fear that that has to be faced. It is part of the human condition. I think that for most of us we just want the fear …
The following dream is also on the free dream interpretation page of the blog. I am sharing it to show the principle of being really positive. Last night, I had a dream about a girl I really like at the moment. She was covered in icing-like makeup, blue and silver, as well as things similar …
It seems to me, without actually having done the calculation, that most of our dream life (about 95%) deals with troubles with our relational lives. I am sure that that is because 95% of our troubles in life are relational ones. How to have a successful relationship seems to be one of the great mysteries …
The other day when I was doing on workshop on the dreaming process, I was approached by an architect who had had a dream in which he saw how to build a magnificent temple based upon the design of a particular type of leaf in nature. He was truly inspired and uplifted when he shared …
I dreamed I was in a house which was being invaded by bears the size of Sasquatch. Someone told me to not worry they know what they are doing, and they had some sort of trick to get them out, but it seemed to me the bears were going to attack. I felt so small. …
Every year when I go to Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada, my son-in-laws and I do some kind of boys day out where we hike or mountain bike. This year we climbed the Chief in Squamish which is just north of Vancouver. Shane runs a company called Dare to Evolve He asked me if I …
Hi… last night I had an odd dream. I am a male, but in this dream I had big breasts and a vagina. I was naked and i started to play with my self and it felt really good… what could this mean? I’m certain I’m not gay, or in any way curious. So what …
“Let each morn be better than its eve and each morrow richer than its yesterday.” Baha’u’llah The question of inner work is always singular. How do I get out of the stuck state that I am currently in? There is large body of literature and work about the importance of being present in yourself, but …
Many times I receive dreams from people that appear as though they could happen in real life just as they happen in the dream world. For instance, what do you do if your happily married, but you are having sex with someone else than your spouse in a dream? How do you get your head …
“Let them at all times concern themselves with doing a kindly thing for one of their fellows, offering to someone love, consideration, thoughtful help. Let them see no one as their enemy, or as wishing them ill, but think of all humankind as their friends; regarding the alien as an intimate, the stranger as a …
The way I teach dream work requires that at some point people identify the origins in their lives when negative experiences happened which caused the ego to go into a survivor/protector mode. The theory of working with the ego is that because it is an aspect of our animal heritage, it therefore belongs to the …
Dream work is the ability to take a dream, analyze and understand the messages it is trying to convey, and then do the internal transformation to actualize new positive energy that the dream is trying to move you toward. Dream interpretation is one part of the dream work process. It is the purpose of this …
Remember how Adam and the others once dwelt together in Eden. No sooner, however, did a quarrel break out between Adam and Satan than they were, one and all, banished from the Garden, and this was meant as a warning to the human race, a means of telling humankind that dissension — even with the …
