Connecting to Your Dream Genius

A point I often make in Dream Circle is that dreams don’t always appear as neatly laid out narratives. For instance, if you’re a writer dreams may be expressed in a story line style. However, if you’re a visual artist your dreams may be revealed in vivid colors, shapes or paintable landscapes. So, you wake up wanting to sketch what you saw. If you’re an intuitive with spiritual sensitivities, your dream’s soul guides may offer you gut feelings or other sensory detail. And so on.
And please consider that dreams don’t always come to us at night. This is especially helpful to those of you who have difficulty sleeping.
You may experience the dream state as intuitive insights while walking in the woods. Or your body may be activated by somatic memories from shamanic journeying for example. Or your imaginal state may be aroused when you are deeply absorbed in creative projects or gardening.
All of them are valid dream-like pathways. These are just a few ways that our inner wisdom finds its own voice.
Having said this, being true to who we are meant to be – even in the dream world – is not always easy. Wouldn’t it be interesting, though, to practice allowing the dreamscape to emerge in its own way?
Participants in my Dream Circles say that getting to know their dream genius has been invaluable. They say experiencing various explorations into the dreamscape in a group setting has helped them tap into the mystical part of themselves. It helps them tune in to who they are. And importantly, they notice that they are beginning to trust and deepen their intuitive nature.
I would love to get to know more about your dream genius. Please consider responding to my short survey about how and when you dream. Here is the link to the short survey.
Reaching out to you with this short questionnaire helps me with future programming too. So, I’m grateful for your responses. In the meantime, I hope that you are doing well where you are.
Happy Samhain. Katharine
