You Must Be Dreaming! - Sundance Center Services

You Must Be Dreaming!

Sundance Center Services provides opportunities to learn and grow from our dream messages and symbols.

Remembering dreams is aided by having a reason to do so. Sleep research has shown that even those who insist they do not dream, may recall vivid dreams when their sleep is interrupted during specific sleep cycles [REM - rapid eye movement].

Once there is a method to look at dreams, new clients often magically begin to have dream recall. You, the dreamer, are always the final authority of what your dreams mean. John simply guides you to ways of exploring and tending the richness of your dreams. Any suggestions from others are mere projections and it is up to you to accept or not accept the  ideas shared about your dreams.

John has over 35 years of experience in personal and professional dream work, studies, dream workshops, and includes the self-published booklet: "Dreamus Aliveus". He has studied Jungian dreamwork with analysts who were students of Jung and has been in workshops with Jeremy Taylor. John continues to record and study his own dreams as messages from the unconscious wisdom within. A blog "Sundance Dream Hutch" at http://dreamhutch.blogspot.com provides some information about dream work and also shares reported dreams from John and others [anonymously and by permission].

Dreamtime calendar dates...

Tuesday, May 14, 2013, I woke remembering the following dream...

 

I am in a large institutional cafeteria  and talking to several people. I decide to schedule a special dinner for our group or class for November 15th. I am looking for the person to talk with about scheduling the special celebration. As I am walking around I see a woman whom I know or have worked with before [have no clue who this is in waking life]. We talk and I ask her about who to talk with about the scheduling. She tells me that she wants to also schedule something for that day for her 'cause' and she thinks it's best not to schedule 2 things at the same time. I disagree and tell her that I see no reason that 2 things cannot be scheduled for the same time since the hall is big enough to handle both. I continue looking for the person to do he scheduling...

 

I have only had a few dreams with specific dates or numbers in the dream. Most of the time they are significant and I always look to the context of the dream for clues. In another dream, I was at a travel agent counter and received the information that the window for flying was the 15th... later, as I search the internet for good deals, as it turned out, the best half-price fare that was the most direct happened to be on the 15th of the month I was flying. I would have some time if I had gone directly to the dream date rather than spending a lot of time looking at many options.

 

So, what does this dream suggest? Well, it involves a larger group and a kind of celebration of our learning together... it may also combine with a specific 'cause' of some sort. I know if I have the opportunity or need to schedule something, since the date is 6 months away from this 'now,' that I will most likely make it for November 15th! We'll see hat emerges.

 

Happy Dreaming...

John

Jung and Fate...

 

I became aware of CG Jung, the Swiss doctor/psychiatrist in the 60s and studied him most extensively in the 70s during college and seminary days...

 

I have often used variations of this 'truth' that Jung states in my writing and dreamwork... "All that remains unconscious tends to control us in some way"... [my paraphrase]... One way our psyche tries to get messages to us ... past the defenses of our personal ego structure... is often through the messages contained in dreams... Dreams help to transform unconscious energies and dynamics into ones that are useful to our conscious awareness.

 

I continue to watch my dreams, record them, and learn from their messages and symbols... and also enjoy helping others become more conscious through shared dreamwork.

 

We are all on a path that can lead to growth. Part of that growth is becoming more aware of what controls us from within... Life's creative energy continues to flow through us... and sometimes gets uniquely twined around many unconscious stems... Dare we free that creative energy to flow more freely that me may mos fully express ourselves in the world? I pray it so....

 

With Love,

John

In 1999 I finished a book called, "Dreamus Aliveus," which integrated about 25 years of experience in dreaming, studying dreams, and working with the dreams of others. The 2nd edition sold out in 2003. While it is now out of print, I have now transferred the book pages to PDF format so I can send "Dreamus Aliveus" as an eBook in 24 brief sections and over 120 pages.

For those who would like a copy, I am offering it to anyone reading this page. While I am not charging a set price for sending the eBook, I would appreciate and accept any donations you choose to send through the info in left sidebar of this webpage. This will help support my writing and coaching and dreamwork habits since social security does not go very far... and you are not required or expected to donate to receive the "Dreamus Aliveus" eBook

The eBook comes in 24 brief sections including sections on:

• Discovering Dreaming
• Assumptions about Dreams
• Remembering Dreams
• Exploring Meaning
• Dream Symbols
• Dream Examples
• The Dreamtime 'You'
• Agony and Ecstasy in Dreaming

Happy dreaming!
with Love and Blessings to you.... John

Attitudes about dreams...

 

"I don't remember my dreams."

"Dreams are nonsense as far as I'm concerned."

"Dreams are real and maybe more real than waking life."

"Sometimes I actually have lucid dreams in which I am aware of the dreaming scene and also aware that I am dreaming"

"I have traveled to visit people I know during the night."

"Alien beings have visited me and taught me things in dream scenes."

"I have received messages from an angel and other spiritual guides that have spurred me to take specific action after waking up."

"I once received a number to play in the daily lottery and it was a winner."

"I think that dream messages and symbols can be messages that my Higher Self is trying to get to me through all the ego defenses I might have."

"Dreams are probably based on what I ate or what I experienced during the day before."

All of the above are real quotes or paraphrases I have heard over the years from clients and from friends and others involved in dream groups.

I have seen how dreams can benefit me as well as others in the process of personal and spiritual growth. And the particular scene and environment of a dreamscape can provide us a sense of whether the dream is a personal or more collective type of dream. I realize that when I am in my own home, whether it is a current home, a childhood home, or other familiar place that feels like home, it has a lot to do with the dynamics of my own personal psyche...

Of course, my experience and beliefs seems to point to the interconnectedness of all of LIFE, And in this sense, all dreams are personal and all dreams are cosmic.

If you are interested in personal growth at any level and are open to see some good internal x-rays or MRIs of what is going on. I would suggest that you can ask for a dream that will show you how important dreams may be to you. If you have not worked with your dreams and would like to process them, then often your initial dream will show something about the process that is unfolding.

If and when you have a dream on which you would like to receive some comments and reflections, You may send the dream to me and I will provide some reflections...

Welcome to all Dreamers!

And yes, we all do dream... And yes, dreams do matter... Plus, they are a fun way of self discovery and growth.

There are plenty of books, experts, videos, workshops, and articles that are available about dreams and their meaning. Always question and remember that you and you alone are the final authority on what is true for you. In workshops, I like to say, "Don't believe anything I say. If it seems right for you, that's fine... and if it doesn't fit for you, just leave in behind when you leave."

In dream groups and even in one on one sessions, I use a guideline that before I or anyone talks about another person's dream we preface what we say with: "If it were my dream..."  what this is intended to do is remind us that our thoughts and opinions about someone else's experienced dream is simply our projections onto his or her dream. The dreamer is always the one who decides if anything that is said actually makes sense or provides an 'aha' insight into the dream's message and meaning.

And why do dreams matter?

Well, if you are interested in self-growth and discovery, then dreams can be one more tool for your journey. Dreams provide a looking glass experience into the dynamics that are going on in our internal world, our psyche and soul. They can and do present us with information that may have been outside of our waking awareness, and can expand our consciousness in our everyday life in quite satisfying ways. There is so much more that dreams can provide for us.
