Are you a big dreamer? Do you have recurring dreams, or themes that reoccur in your dreams over time? Have you ever awakened from sleep with an answer to a question you had been holding when you went to bed?
I am, I do, and I have.
For the past few years I have been engaging with my dreams in a more attentive way, recording what I can pull through into awakened consciousness, asking specific questions when I go to bed, processing my dreams with friends, and even participating in community dreaming.
Processing dreams in the way I have been taught does not necessarily mean interpreting them. We are reflecting; we run through a series of clarifying questions and then each person in the circle “wears” the dream. We step into the dream and look around, allow imagination to help us describe what we notice. Something juicy can emerge for all involved- like a story passed down through generations, iterated for the current moment by each storyteller, meanings land uniquely in each listener’s ears.
When I open to dream consciousness I get very practical and down to earth knowledge, wild and wacky experiences, and/or a deepened sense of the mystery of it all. I also have the experience of simply processing the inputs of the day, my mind clearing, cleaning, and composting so I can rest and integrate.
If you are interested in dropping in to a Dream Circle with me, I will be hosting these online about once per month through the fall and winter (2025/26) on the Village Green. They are free and open to all- come hang out and dream with me! No experience necessary, and you don’t have to come with a dream to work, you can just show up and participate.
