For my birthday, one of my friends bought me a book on Dreams. So lately, I’ve been making a mild attempt to control the subject matter of my dreams, which is also known as dream work. I put forth a question at night before falling asleep, the intention being to work on finding the answer in your slumber. The very first night I tried it, it worked! I’m not going to say the answer was very clear, but I did dream about the topic I had put my mind to.
The world of dreams is incredible and full of endless possibility, which is why I’m so drawn to it. The idea of lucid dreaming is just so appealing to me. I’ve been able to realize I was dreaming a few times but I always wake up within a minute or two so I never get to have any extended adventures in dream land. I’m interested in talking with others on this subject. Do any of you have any experience?
All I know so far is that dreams are really hard for me to interpret. They just seem so random to me it’s hard to see any consistent patterns or relevance but I guess I’ll get better with practice…I haven’t finished the book yet and I’m sure it will help.

If you have not already, begin to journal your dreams. I have found that over time you will begin to see a wonderful pattern for things that my come into your life down the road or just an “AHA” moment as you reflect reading them 3-6 months later. Its really powerful insight for one.
For years I kept mu journal right next to my bed so that when I would wake even during the night slumber I would jot down even a few words. I found that then just reading the words would bring me right back to the dream.
Try it, I think you will be amazed.
