The Art of Dreaming: A Guide to Dream Journaling
Awaken your intuition and submerge yourself in the infinite wisdom of the subconscious with dream journaling – a door between the waking world, dreamscapes and passage into the ethereal realms.
Your subconscious calls to be unlocked, your intuition beckons for an ear to listen, dreams speak a language of their own seeded with secrets, imbued with nuance in the shape of symbols and signs. Mind and body together are an infinite fountain of wisdom. Ancestral memories sewn into strings of DNA and intertwined into the nerve endings and inner workings of the mind, sparking insights into the lifetimes of your soul, past, present, future and the way you interpret the world.
Every dream is a message from the other side, the great soul, the mythical realms or our subconscious. Often those messages are tiny whispers or obscured storylines and it takes a certain amount of tuning in to listen to them.
Dream journaling offers passage for experiences, messages and guidance from our altered state odysseys to be integrated into the waking realm, our hearts and our lives. As we refine this forgotten muscle and tune into other frequencies, we can use practices like recording our dreams to strengthen our connection to our intuition, innate wisdom and all that lies beyond our physical experience.
Think of dreaming or interpreting your dreams, as an art, not a science. There is no right or wrong way, only the opportunity to strengthen your connection with practice. Trust yourself to know the messages meant for you. Each of us have our own personal inbuilt symbol dictionary – a unique perception of what a symbol or sign may mean for us. Dream journaling is an invitation to explore your innate capacity to decipher these messages and come to your own conclusions about their meaning or purpose.
Our Dream Journals contain a Guide to Dreaming and inspirational prompts to support and inspire your practice. Below is a glimpse into what they offer as you embark on the journey into the depths of your subconscious and deciphering the language of your dreams.
