In this article I write that when we share a dream there are different ways that the dream is being perceived: the dream teller’s view, what the listener is hearing, and what the dream itself is trying to say. No matter how you approach a dream, it’s important to prepare yourself to share a dream, to be grounded in the present moment to listen to a shared dream, and to consider a third perspective…being open to the dream’s viewpoint.

Dreamtime has many different names when cultures and languages express it. This deep connection between people and the land especially when we think of place as sacred, is communicated through story, ritual, and creative voice.

February 1 is Imbolc. It’s a seasonal time when the first brush of renewal begins. It’s also a full moon. Again, nature is showing us what greater illumination and clarity looks like. Dreams help us expand illumination and clarity too. Dreams help us cope by bringing both focused and expanded clarity. Often they offer us resolutions. Intuition is another word for this expanded clarity we all seek.
