DREAMING PREPARATION
On the nights before we meet, wherever you are in the world, spend some time on the land under the stars. Walk by a body of water - wild waters, a pond, a canal, a vase of water if you are housebound - whatever is close. If you are able, spend sometime outdoors with the sky up high and the soil beneath your feet. If you are in the city, perhaps walk in a park or by a river. Claim your right to roam, and attune your ears to the song of the stars. The stars are there for you - even if you can not see them.
Ceremony
Before you sleep...
Bring a seed to your bedside - literal or metaphorical
Hold it in your hands and soften your gaze and your heart
Connect to the silence in you and the one who dreams
Create a heartfelt intention to listen to the dreaming of the night
Sleep
Notice the images and sensations in your body as sleep enfolds you
While you drift across the border between waking and sleeping, carry your seed with you and plant it in dreaming soil.
On waking...
Listen to what returns.
As you wake, remain soft and receptive
Don’t worry too much about remembering or not remembering - just feel curious about what images and memories stay with you
Feel the images and stories in your body
Give space for these dream whispers to be heard
Remember
Record your dream. You can make a voice note on your phone, write on a pad of paper, draw, journal - create relationship with your dream in the way that feels good.
Then gently “plant” your seed before you start your day.
