1) Get yourself a dream journal and a blue ink pen and keep them by your bed. If you take
your journal somewhere to write, make sure to have both next to your bed when you go to
sleep. Having to get up and find a pen while you’re holding the elusive wisps of a dream can be
challenging. It may take a short time to develop the habit or it may be easy for you. At this
point, I’m so conditioned that making sure my journal and pen are nearby is as automatic as
brushing my teeth before bed.
The benefits to this part of the practice are wide and reliable. Whether you wake in the middle
of the night to write or do so in the morning (or later on, which also works, but not as vividly),
the easier it is to reach for your journal and pen without much other movement, allowing you to
capture the fresh dream sequences. Getting in the habit of writing also frees up the energy your
mind is expending to hold the memory. Soon as it’s committed to paper, it’s made real. You
can see it, and that lends it potency.
Why blue ink? Because it stimulates cognition and awareness of depth and memory, more than
black ink. Why not green or purple or red? I haven’t had as much success with those colors for
this purpose, but it might work for you. If you experiment, do your best to gauge how well it’s
working and if there are specific emotions that seem to be coming up for you, assess if the
colors are emotional triggers.
2) Set your intention at night. You intention (spoken aloud before sleep) can be as fundamental as ‘Thank you (your name), for remembering your dreaming’, or as specific as, “I see the next image for my canvas. It’s pure magic and I’m ready to bring it through to the physical.” The keys are to speak aloud to yourself in your own words, as though you’re either in the dream and experiencing it in the moment, or as if it’s the next morning and you’re vividly remembering everything that took place.
Your intention is all about your purpose. What’s the result you’re looking for? The more you
can imagine and feel having already accomplished your purpose the more effectively the
programming goes in. As you get in the habit of knowing ‘why’ your doing something, the
clearer your steps become towards accomplishing it, attracting connections, opportunities,
resources, knowledge and inspiration to make it real.
3) Whether in your dreaming or in your waking, clarity of purpose is fundamental. While some are happy to allow each day to unfold on its own with no further vision, some are here on a mission. We can feel it. We sense it. We have a calling that spurns our souls onward towards a vision that benefits and evolves our lives and the lives of those around us; friends….and people we've never met and may never meet. To make this world better than we found it; to question and catalyze, to wake, to inspire, to soothe.
Intentionally bringing the guidance of purpose to your dreaming will unlock the hidden rooms with you, revealing treasures you've longed to reclaim. It’s within these intimate universes (that you’re visiting every night anyways!), that you might quicken your learning and deepen your time here…… in this body…. on this earth.
You’re an artist. You share what you bring through from the dreaming, because you choose to.
Good luck and evolutionary dreaming to you!
