The other night I had a very vivid and powerful dream. It had a deep emotional impact on me, and in some respects I feel it is life changing, at least on the level that my awareness and views of the world and myself are shifting and healing as a result.
I posted the details here, The Dream, The Spirits, The Lesson (on my other blog that I co-author with my best friend). I hope you will take the time to read it because the lesson in the dream is universal and not just something I needed to learn and experience.
I am a firm believer that our dreams are important and that we should pay attention to what our subconscious mind has to say to us while we sleep. I am still processing the dream and feeling it’s effects emotionally and physically, but I know it is all part of the healing and cleansing process, as old emotional baggage is cleared away.
I had gotten out of the habit of keeping a dream journal, since I wasn’t sleeping much for the past 14 or longer years, which meant I wasn’t dreaming either (or at least not remembering any). But now that I’m sleeping better (ever since my trip to Womon Gathering and learning Reiki) I am aslo dreaming again. I will definitely start keeping a notebook near my bedside.
Have you had any vivid dreams? Do you keep a dream journal?

I haven’t kept a dream journal, but think I should. Sometimes during the day I have flash backs and realize they are fragments of dreams that I have had. I hardly ever can bring up the memory of the whole dream though. I should be writing it down.

Perhaps if you start keeping a journal, your recall will get better. At least that is what the dreams books say happens.

I don’t keep a dream journal because I remember my dreams rather well. Almost all of the vivid ones either involve good friends from High School (and it’s been over 25 years!) or water. I know water means emotions and since the water always seems threatening, I guess that means my emotions are, too. But my old friend? I haven’t figured that out yet, though it’s always good to see them in Dream Land.
