Falling Awake - Dreamwork by Carla

Dream Tip Tuesday!

Time...you either feel like there's not enough, or too much. Typically, it's the former that presses into our souls day in and day out as we struggle to keep up with the daily grind. Before we know it, the day swallows us in chores, job, kids, pets, bills, etc.

To some, it's obvious to say it's important to make time for self-care. And, to some, they feel like it's impossible. Well, my friends, I am here to be the bearer of good news and tell you that having more time is completely POSSIBLE.

When I ask people if they write down their dreams their response typically goes something like, "no, but I should." First, try not to say "should" as this creates an invisible pressure. Second, you have to do what feels right for you...AND if your response is that you don't have enough TIME to write...that's where a shift can happen.

Two tips here in regard to recording your dreams. Maybe three.

One - you don't have to physically write! There are many benefits to hand writing your dreams, and I get for some that doesn't work. Use your phone to type, or voice record on your phone - that's the easiest way. Many dream apps allow voice recording. This makes life easier and takes less...time!

Two - choose a time of day (preferably upon waking) to write your dreams. Be consistent! When you remember a dream, record the same time every day. You'll build mental muscle that way and let your brain and subconscious know you're serious. If

Three - take an inventory of your daily tasks and desires. Write those out! Estimate how much time they'll take. If you feel like writing your dreams won't fit, see if there is something you can take off your list or move based on its importance.

We can't "create" time p***e, yet we can create space to take on the deeper, more meaningful inner work that just may benefit us more than doing dishes!

To go along with my newly designed website, I've published a fresh blog post! You can read it here! Feel free to browse while you're there! (I made a few tweaks and made it easier to navigate and book a session with me!)

Harnessing The Power of Ritual Following a Dream In my personal dreaming experience, I’ve learned that taking an action in waking life following a dream you had the night prior has profound effects. It deepens the dream experience in that you’re not just being a passive dreamer, you’re being an active one! Letting your subconscious know you ...

Hello Dreamers! I have been hard at work for the past couple weeks redesigning my website! I felt the bright colors and simple pages needed a facelift and a more professional look. I am excited to now unveil it to you all! For the best experience, I recommend viewing it on a desktop or laptop. A phone or tablet will work just fine, too. Let me know what you think!

Synergy.

That’s what occurs when like-minds open up, unite, and share. And that’s exactly what I experienced last night during our dream share group! People opening up, becoming vulnerable, and receptive to the healing message of their dreams. We were able to share deeper parts of ourselves, explore, and put pieces together. Thank you to those who came out last night to be part of the group! I appreciate you all. ☺️

There’s plenty of space for more curious souls to join! Last Friday of every month at the Back Mountain Jewelry & Rock Shop at 7PM.

📅Mark your calendars - next group will be held on May 29th. 🌟

What are your plans for later tonight? Could dream sharing be part of them?! TONIGHT at 7PM at the Back Mountain Jewelry & Rock Shop, join me to set sail on an exploration of the unknown, the mysterious, and the enlightening! The Dreamer's Journey: A Dream Share Group Share a dream, contribute to a dream, have your dream questions answered! You can share a dream you had last night, last week, last month, or last year.

No dreams to share? No problem! You can still be part of the group to offer insights to others. And get a better sense of how dreamwork works.

If you plan to attend, please let me know! Thanks! ^_^

I'm over the moon with this review I recently received from a dream client! ^_^ Interested in exploring the mystery of your dreams? Send me a message for a session. Or, if you're local, I will be hosting a dream share group at the Back Mountain Jewelry & Rock Shop this coming Friday! 🌟

✨Dream Wisdom Wednesday ✨

I was talking with someone the other day about elements in dreams after she shared a dream about being in a small lake. She asked what water represents. As I’ve learned, and come to know, water most often symbolizes emotions.

💧Just like water, emotions ebb and flow, can create or be harmful, can rise and fall, and can fill up or be emptied out.

🔥Fire can have multiple representations as well. While it’s often viewed as a destructive force, it also can clear a path or burn away what is old and doesn’t serve you anymore; it can be cleansing.

🌬️Wind is like a combination of both…something that can be calm, strong, destructive. It can blow away what doesn’t serve us, or it can take away something unexpectedly. Like breath, wind can energize and be a source of power.

🌳Earth can represent grounding. A solid foundation (if, indeed, solid). It also can take many forms – soft, rocky, flat, mountainous, grassy, etc. Earth itself supports us. It gives and fosters life. We are born of the earth and return to the earth when we die.

As with any dream, when you look for a meaning to a symbol, always ask yourself what it means to YOU!

Pay attention to your surroundings and what you are doing. Most importantly, pay attention to how you feel in any situation with any element. Ask how that particular element can help you. Is it time to clear something out? Have you been destructive in any way? Or helpful? Do you need grounding, or are you meant to be a grounding force?

Remember: dreams are always nudging you to be your best self! They are always honest, and they will show you exactly what you need, exactly when you need!
