August’s Second Sunday featured Dream Facilitator, Ken
Kaplan who shared his many years of expertise on the subject of our
dreams. “Everyone without exception,
dreams,” he explained.
He gave clues for remembering your dreams. First and foremost set the intention to
remember. Once you have set the
intention, keep a recorder or a notebook and pen by your bedside. This way you can immediately record the dream
upon awakening. If you can’t remember
your dream, perhaps you will remember the “feeling” of the dream. This in turn may help you remember the
dream. By focusing on the feeling and
reliving it, you may also recall the content of the dream. Ken also suggested the at the more we open up
spiritually, the more likely we are to remember our dreams.
Unless you are super psychic, dreams represent the now, not
the future. Even dreams after eating a
bowl of spicy chili before bed have a bit of content that your subconscious is
trying to relay to you. Keeping a log of
your dreams, or a dream history, can help interpret and give guidance for your
daily life.
Dreams clarify what’s going on in your life. Every dream is triggered by an event. You watch a scary movie and have a
nightmare. You have something you are
trying to decipher before you fall asleep and the answer comes through a
dream. You eat bad food. Dreams are validations of thoughts you had
during the day. Nightmares represent the
parts of the self not integrated yet, a reflection of an imbalance somewhere in
your life. Recurring dreams appear when
your mind is trying to bring you a message that twill raise your awareness of something
you may be ignoring. Ken gave multiple
examples of each of these type of dream messages.
Every part of a dream has importance, from what stands out
to what seems obscure. Treat every
aspect of the dream as you; for example, if there is a night table that stood
out in the dream, “be” the night table.
Strangers represent you, and sometimes even those you know will
represent yourself and not themselves in a dream.
