The Power of Dreams

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of dreams in a dream-like way, which is the most useful way to talk about this subject. KEY TAKEAWAYS I remembered wanting to be a ballerina dancing on stage & making people happy with the dance. I remember wanting to get straight As even though other students mocked that kind of performance where I grew up. I remember wanting my mum to find another nice man to be with after my parents divorced. As I recalled the dreams I was flooded with many kinds of feelings and wishes & I realised that a lot of the things I wanted to happen lived in my dreams. Karl Jung talked about seeing every character in a dream as yourself as well as looking at vehicles in dreams as representations of your life & the state of your life. If you look at these things in your dreams as different aspects of you or your life you could use that information to address dealing with scary dreams. We all repress things, it’s part of living in a society that has rules & values which we don’t always agreed with, we supress certain parts of our personalities to live in societies. It’s understandable that you might process some of those feelings through your dreams. But, the shadow side in your nightmares is not evil. Common pursuit dreams involved being chased by something or something that’s scary, eventually you hit a dead end & have to turn and face it. It you practice making intentions before going to sleep to remember your dreams when you wake up, there’ll be a symbol in the dream that’s going to help you realise that you’re dreaming. What you can then do is you can control the dream, freeze the pursuers, ask them why they’re pursuing you & you can either fight them, tickle them, wave a magic wand & change them to being friendly.  BEST MOMENTS “I never met a dream I didn’t like.” “My dreams changed & became more family oriented as I got older, they became more about processing my emotions & understanding myself at a deeper level.” “Dream language doesn’t work in a logical, rational way but through association & symbolism.” “The outside world reflects your internal landscape. When you change the way you relate to what’s going on in your subconscious  you can also experience different results in your outer world.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.
