Dream into Being…

“Our true selves live in the dream world. Dare to dream them into being.” – Liz Page

The dream world is so enticing and alluring, anything can happen there, the imagination is the only limit. I see you, I know you’ve been there. The star of your own adventure, loved and adored by all. Perhaps one day I’ll get to be your sidekick!

Fantasies and dreams are the beginning of creating meaning in our lives. Our latent desires begin to become real there, but it is only the beginning. What better way to drift off to sleep at night than to wonder at what might be, at what stimulating and fulfilling experiences we might have. Trusting that they could happen is so relaxing and reassuring. Some of the best affirmations I ever did involved actively dreaming about what I would love to happen as I surrendered to sleep. If I could really feel it in my body it often meant it was driven by my heart.

Dreaming about it and fantasizing is so much more rewarding if you take some action during the day. If you “dare to dream them into being,” your fantasies become so much more rewarding. Taking steps toward making them real makes them so much more real in your mind. Though the Law of Attraction is a little passe these days, of course it is a valid Law that has an effect. Though the idea that you can make things happen with simple thought is a little ludicrous, focussing on what you want and feeling in your body and heart makes a big difference, hopefully a difference big enough to bring about action.

“My heart holds the dream . . . . My mind holds the picture . . . . My body holds the action . . . . and inspiration is my fuel . . . ” – Faith Anderson

Consider your most heartfelt dreams could be dreamed into being if you dream them often enough to believe them and take action on them. Choose your favourite desire, the one that most engages your mind and opens your heart, the one that makes you feel both powerful and calm. Focus on it and choose to pursue it not for what you will get but who you will become. Imagine this greater self and take a hold of that and never let go. It’s who you are.
