How to Dreamwork
Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence blog! Today’s topic is how to start dreamwork.
Have you ever woken up from a dream but for dear life you couldn’t remember it? But deep down you know it felt significant. Since childhood dreaming was something I experience very intensely. My superconscious or subconscious (Side note: there are many terms. Pick the one you like) would go on a skating rink throughout the night. When I awoke I couldn’t really remember what it was all about but I do recall the feeling these dreams left behind.
“12,000 Dreams Interpreted”
Until my high school years came along. My emo friends and I (yes, I was part of the outcast, the eccentrics, the weirdos) would take a stroll down from Chelsea to Union Square with purple Taro fizzling in our cups. As we laughed about the scene of eccentricities around us. Danielle, AJ and I walked to Barnes & Noble’s on the square. With its grandiose architecture and old wooden door, we would enter the magical world of books. We’ll sit like spaghetti noodles on the grey carpet picking at random book from the shelves and chatting about teenage secrets.
One day was different! We sat in front of a section full of mystical books. A dream book falls onto my lap waiting for me to it turn the page. That day I took home my first dream book ever 12,000 Dreams Interpreted by Linda Shields. I still remember the book clearly as a day. A white cover with cool images stacked heavily on my hands. On I went on the journey of dreams to explore nighttime images.
From adolescence up to now dreams have been an interesting rollercoaster ride. In 2021, I enrolled in a dream science course to level up my dream work. I learned about the connection between brain science + dreams. The strategy I use today to understand my dreams is totally different than in my adolescence. Dreamwork requires patience and practice! Remember this! The more you make a conscious decision to work with your dreams the more you will recall them.
In my work as a magical practitioner, I assist and guide clients to bring awareness to dream symbols by teaching them how to for themselves. As well as facilitating my clients to have A Ha! moments through my dream guidance. I do not refer to myself as a dream expert but rather as a guiding lightworker into the realm of sleep.
The Key
If you really want to DO the how-to of dreamwork it’s important to first make the conscious decision to do so. Remember patience and practice will help you along the way. Dreamwork isn’t all about the interpretation as an end goal; it’s about developing a relationship with your subconscious mind. The major key after these steps is to create a routine at first to help recall your dreams. Start with getting a journal or notebook to record your dreams. If you’ll like place the journal under your pillow. Below is a template on how to start a dream journal entry for interpretation or for fun! Check out a short demo on TikTok below
