This 2nd part of the “Working With the Dream” series, is dedicated to images and the importance of changing them upon awakening.
1. What is an Image:
o An Image is a likeness or representation
o Images in dreams are an embodiment of qualities within our being
o In Gerald Epstein’s, Waking Dream Therapy: dream process as imagination, he states that an image is “ the concretizations of emotions. …Exploration of the imaginal realm, is in effect the immersion of oneself in emotion.”
2. Value of Changing Images:
o Using our Will
o Emotional Freedom: Freedom in daily life
o Making clearer decisions in Waking Life
o Creating new: Acts as a catalyst for change in Waking Life
o Moving forward
o Confidence
o Better physical health
o Become own authority
3. Who is Who in the Dream:
o All in a dream is an aspect of self
o You in a dream is who you id with in Waking Life
o When seeing others in a dream, they are who you identify on a “subconscious level” – they are there to show other aspects of yourself that you may need to be in touch with to move forward in life
4. How to Change a Dream:
The following is something very similar to what I say to client
1. Sit with you spine straight, feet on the floor, and your hands on knees, now close you eyes (this is pharaos position)
2. State your intention for changing the dream
3. Through your nose inhale to the count of 6 and exhale to the count of 8 – do this 3x
4. Begin to breath gently and evenly
5. In your minds eye, see your self at the most climatic part of the dream and know that in your imagination anything is possible, that by using your intention and will to change the images (outcome of the dream), you become the authority of your life, ultimately changing your inner and outer world more to your liking
6. When you are complete, exhale one time and open your eyes
7. For 21 days do the exercise seeing the outcome of the new dream
