THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH: A DREAM JOURNAL EXERCISE

Posted in DREAM JOURNAL EXERCISES, VICTORIA'S ARTWORK on March 25, 2011 by dreamingarts

In dreams, as in life, the truth is prey to inherent conflicts. The complex structure of a dream allows us to explore the fallibility of our inner contradictions by shifting our points of view.

Allow several dream images to recount their version of the dream. Images can be characters, animals or inanimate objects. How many versions of this dream can be told from different points of view?

Truth is One, Paths are Many.

ALICE IN DREAMLAND: A DREAM JOURNAL EXERCISE

Posted in DREAM JOURNAL EXERCISES on March 10, 2011 by dreamingarts

LIFE, WHAT IS IT BUT A DREAM?

Burning with curiosity, Alice follows the white rabbit into a strange and curious land of dreams. She travels through a lopsided world that doesn’t obey logical rules. She wonders if she has changed in the night. If she is not the same, who in the world is she?

Alice converses with herself, pretending to be two people as she tries to make sense of this strange upside-down, inside-out world. She has odd conversations with characters and animated objects that she meets along her journey. Although she tries very hard to remain sane and logical, she is often misunderstood and confronted by irritable creatures that pose riddles and unreasonable commands.

Your Mission Should You Choose to Accept It…

Allow Alice to fall into your dream and to wander as an observer though your dreamscape. Invite her to narrate her journey. Listen to her as she politely asks questions of each of the dream images.  In your journal, faithfully record the questions and the responses which may or may not make any sense at all.
