We are living in a time where so many possibilities exist for us to live different lives. Old secrets and ancient teachings are there for us, and we get the ability to access that knowledge.
One thing that gets overlooked during these times of powerful transformation is what we have had within us all this time. Our dreams. Both those of night, the day. They might be composed of a vision here and there. A flash of insight. A potent symbol or sign. A deep knowing.
Yet, so often we discard them. The dream, image, symbol might seem so mundane. We want more sleep and don’t write it down. It’s not flashy and exciting and so we throw it away waiting for the “REAL” transformation. We also discard them simply because we have not been shown easy and simple ways of seeing them.
This past weekend, I attended a Dream workshop on Ancestral Healing. I brought a dream to the second day. It was simple enough. I was cleaning one of my grandparents houses and knew it was time to release the furniture and other belongings, since my grandparent was no longer in this world.
In the past, I might have discarded this snippet simply because it wasn’t fully formed or seemed too mundane. I know better now. If it came to me, there is a reason. It has the power to transform and has juice and energy for me.
Now, I’m super good at analyzing things like crazy. I know you are as well. It’s what we do. There must be a message.
Active dreaming (shamanic dreaming) requires that we engage with the live energy in the dream. We go past the actual thing we think we know and enter into that live energy. That is where the true transformation lives.
In today’s workshop, I’m invited to share my dream and enter into dream theater. To act it out and see where it goes. As I begin setting up this little vignette with the help of other people, the scene becomes alive. I’m face to face with an energy there and begin speaking. I’m sobbing, exhausted, and just can’t go on. I plead with that energy to let me be. To help me. To release the burden I feel of having to do it all by myself.
I’m very aware of myself, and also aware that I have stepped into the Dreamtime. Where issues that have been years, and sometimes lifetimes, can be resolved.
More happened in that tiny scene, and in the end I felt lighter, and knew I had forever changed an ancestral story that was not mine to hold, nor to clean up energetically.
I felt amazing afterwards.
In the past, I could have sat in this for weeks, months, and even years processing it with my mind. Instead, I experienced it in a sacred container of the Dreamtime. This is what it truly means to bend time.
Our wisdom is within so that we can hold the most vibrant, loving and beautiful energy possible.
