Dreams
As a child my dreams were lucid and telling. Many times I had dreams of my birth - many times I remembered coming into this life, this world. Some time around my pre-teen years my dreams stopped. Sure a dream now and then - but nothing I could really remember - nothing telling - nothing as powerful as those of my childhood.
Over the past 15 years or so I've wanted to remember more - to bring back my dreams, to tap into that pool of information. For a while I started to remember - I was dating a woman who upon waking would share her dreams with me - I started to remember some of my dreams, until I didn't.
Now I am in an apprenticeship - where once a month we gather to spend the night chanting and dreaming, chanting and dreaming. We are given dream assignments - and there I am with nothing. I found myself frustrated - I spoke with our circle guide - she suggested there was something I was blocking that I should be willing to dream no matter what my dreams showed me. I agreed to set the intention.
The first night I took in the scent of mugwort and set the intention - nothing happened.
The second night I took in the scent of mugwort and set the intention - I awoke knowing I had had a dream - but no memory of what.
The third night I took in the scent of mugwort, sat down with a notebook, set the intention and invited my dreams, willing to see anything and everything - I had a dream I remembered one person who was in it, nothing else
Last night (the forth night) I once again took in the scent of mugwort, wrote the intention in my notebook and invited the dreams. All night long I had dreams - each time woke I wrote a few words about them in my notebook. This morning, upon reviewing my notebook, I saw that I had dreams of food and relationships, and work. I had dreams of the many places I have felt out of integrity over the past decade of my life. Yes, I am willing - I am willing to dream to see what is to be shown to me - if I am to see all the ways I have been out of integrity I welcome it - I welcome the review - I welcome change and growth and bliss and it does seem fitting to inventory my life before I transition to death and then life.
