When we sleep, we are not unconscious – we’ve merely shifted into a different kind of consciousness. In this state, we’re actually more receptive than in waking life to messages and visions from the Divine. And so our subconscious uses this time to give us glimpses of our Soul’s true callings. We know these mysterious nightly nudges as dreams.
What exactly are dreams? And what do they mean? How do we begin to understand them?
These are some of the topics we'll discuss in my upcoming class - I hope you join us... and bring a friend! https://www.wisdomwayscenter.org/events-registrations/p/our-wildest-dreams
Our Wildest Dreams: The Transformative Power of Your Soul and Subconscious
Fri, March 17, 6:30 - 8:00 pm CST, hosted by Wisdom Ways Center for Spirituality (online only, and if you can't make it, you can still register and get the recording of the class!)
In this introductory class, you'll get to explore the meaning in dreams and other numinous experiences you've had. And I’ll share about my approach to this art of interpretation, so you can keep practicing this yourself!
Suffice it to say for now, our dreams are almost always strange, and they rarely offer obvious revelation about our lives (this is even true of bona fide visionaries, oracles, and prophets). Our dreams can even be emotionally upsetting, leaving us doubtful that our Soul is indeed speaking through them. We might say, “My dream was so terrifying, shameful, or just weird and baffling – seems like the opposite of Divine.”
But in fact, troubled dreams are just other places where the Divine is trying to get our attention, challenging us, in our heightened receptivity, to learn and grow. Just like with other inspired messengers throughout history, our Souls use our dreams to help us identify fear, grief, and confusion on our spiritual journey, so we can move through them into courage, hope, and clarity about our callings.
The real trouble is that in dreams, our Souls use a different, more symbolic, more ancient language than we typically use in our culture, one that we’ve forgotten in recent centuries and that can be a one difficult to learn. But this language of dreams has survived, and we can reclaim it to work though and interpret our Divine nocturnal visions. I’m here to help you learn this interpretive work, through classes like Our Wildest Dreams, or by working with me one-on-one.
Together we can walk through your dreams, exploring the subtle ways your Soul might be speaking to you. We’ll examine it all without judgment – no matter how weird or shocking the content, with patience, courage, and curiosity, we can always find Divine messages hidden beneath. Then we identify how to weave these messages into your life, and over time, bring them into incarnation the way your Soul intends.
It’s such a comfort to know that our surreal nocturnal journeys are as much a part of our Divine journey as anything else. It’s such a comfort to know that our Souls are guiding us – even when we aren’t awake for it! Indeed, the Divine is always awake to us. May we find more ways to awaken in return.
