Using Your Dreams to Simplify Your Life

Ever feel like everyone else has all the answers? It's an illusion. The only person who has all of the genuine answers to your challenges, a.k.a. opportunities for growth, is you... and they're so much closer than you think. In fact, they're right inside your head, inside your subconscious, to be exact.

I'm not talking about writing down your dreams and then consulting a book, a psychic or a website to interpret the symbols. I'm talking about something much more personal ergo far more powerful. The truth is there are very few universal symbols, so I don't personally put a lot of stock in dream interpretation. Take a red wagon for example. Maybe a red wagon was your prized possession when you were a kid. Or maybe the bully in your neighborhood had an old red wagon, and one day he tied you to it and sent you careening down Dead Man's Hill. In one way or another, it's our life experiences which naturally determine each and every one of our symbols.

I used to have a hypnotherapy practice. Hypnosis was interesting and rewarding work, but it was Hypnotic Dreamwork I found absolutely fascinating. I was constantly amazed by the clever and often hilarious symbols which appeared in my clients' dreams. I was also mesmerized by the self-healing aspect of the work. I delighted in gently guiding them through their own metamorphosis. Discovering they already possessed all the answers was so empowering for them, I found they actually looked quite different at the end of their sessions, almost illuminated from within. I hung a mirror in my office specifically for these clients.

Several years after I'd closed my practice and begun writing, I discovered I easily reached a similar trance state when writing. One morning I'd had an exceptionally bizarre and haunting dream, and decided to experiment. Instead of talking my way through the process I wrote it out. It worked, and it was unbelievable. I mean, just chocked full of major self-discoveries.

It doesn't matter how perplexed we are by our dreams in the waking state. In trance all of the meanings and answers become crystal clear. All of the characters in our dreams are quite forthcoming with any information we need. It's a very peaceful, yet exciting experience.

I've always wanted to share this technique, which I call Dream Solving, on a larger scale. Why look to someone else to tell you what your subconscious already knows better than anyone else? The writing process is simple and fun. Even when it's an upsetting dream, you come out of it feeling uplifted by your ability to resolve your conflicts and break down barriers that had previously held you back. It is perfectly safe and quite enjoyable. Think about it this way, each night your mind is serving up opportunities for you to work through life's challenges and grow. Why not take full advantage of that wonderful, self-cleaning brain of yours?

If you think you'd be interested in an inexpensive, very easy-to-understand, one-day-read, complete with worksheets, let me know. It would be so fun to share this technique with as many people as possible and hear how well it works for them. When it comes to therapy, what is simpler than putting pencil to paper?

In addition, if you're someone who has always had difficulty remembering your dreams, no worries, There's a simple technique for that, as well.

Carpe Diem! Simplify!
