Dream-Tracking
Dreaming
belongs to all creatures, or perhaps all creatures belong to Dreaming.
Each night as we sleep, dreams come to us with their strange otherworldly ways. What could they be trying to tell us? Within them are rivers of language, pools of emotion, seas of images.
Ancient and indigenous cultures across the Earth carry dreaming as the heart of their existence, as well as using their practicality for survival. It is clear that dreams hold the presence of something that is greater, that may open us into the possibility of a fuller and truer life. In them are pathways that lead to deeper understandings of our soul’s purpose, that help navigate us to our place in the landscape of life, and enable us to glimpse the geography of our spirit. Dreams are as personal as they are transpersonal, containing a collective wisdom for the community, like an epic poem, an old riddle or an outrageous drama that carefully nurtures the life essence of insight.
Come practice the basics of Dream-Tracking – how to remember dreams, how to create active relationships with the dream world, and how to carry their intelligence into your life. Come share the natural storytelling of dreams with each other as a group, and help each other by listening for the dream’s message. Learn to “re-enter” the dream, and experience the wisdom each of our dreams can offer each person. Watch how the dreams of a group can start to weave together into a larger story. Over this eight-week period, feel how dreams literally inform your life, moving you closer to the heart of things.
