LEAP AND THE NET WILL APPEAR: A DREAM JOURNAL EXERCISE

Since we get a “free” extra day this year, perhaps we can honor it by relinquishing control and allow ourselves to jump from one place to another, vault over obstacles, leap into the dark spaces and spring into action!

EXPLORATION

Write for 10 minutes. In a few condensed sentences, write about what happened in the dream. Leave out the details. Focus on the Action. Who did What? Where? How? When? How does the dream end?

Riff about what is going to happen next in the dream? Open up your expectations and assumptions. Riff about what would happen if…. ??? Take a Take a Leap of Faith as you let your mind wander in a stream of consciousness.

LANDSCAPE OF THE MIND / THE SOUL OF PLACE: A DREAM JOURNAL EXERCISE

Each dream has a particular environment, atmosphere or ambiance with its own unique qualities. Within the inner life, there is no separation between our minds, our bodies and the spaces we inhabit. The ground we walk upon or the architecture we inhabit, has a voice as vibrant as any of the characters in the dream. When we animate the landscape, we invite the indwelling spirit of our surroundings to come forth. The setting of a dream has the spirit of place and the presence of our souls.

EXPLORATION

Take ten minutes to write in a stream of consciousness…

How do the dream characters view the world and their place in it?
