Dreams are fascinating. They can be so vivid, so intense, so bizarre. Yet as we emerge back into “reality” they dissipate into faint notions. For those who do remember (however faintly), here is a fun exercise to try: before going to bed, put a notebook and pen within reach. As you drift off to sleep, set an intention to remember your dreams when you awaken. Here is the hardest part: as soon as you wake, before opening your eyes or moving too much, grab for the pen and paper and start writing. Catch the tail of the last dream you had and hold on to it! Jot down random words, people. Describe anything. You may find that this little tail connects to a lion of a dream! Connecting to our subconscious mind is a really powerful healing tool, but without conscious effort, these opportunities will likely slip away into obscurity.
