I indicated a process in the previous blog for ordinary creativiy using the sleep state. There is a more powerful use of the sleep state for literally "creating your own reality!" (Keep in mind Picasso's statement from previous blogs!)
Sleep State Creativity – DreamsFor the most part, most of us are untrained in the use of this valuable personal source for literally transforming our ability to integrate our creativity as a natural part of everyday living.
Sleep state creativity is typically recalled through dreams. Dreams are the symbolic and metaphoric translation of experiences beyond the five senses and are transcendent to physical reality.
A remembered dream is a snapshot of a larger multidimensional event (or sequence of events) translated into physical reality by representations such as symbols, images, sounds, objects, metaphors, etc.
Dream Creativity Through Programming
Your Creative ConsciousnessCreativity and dreaming are inextricably intertwined. Dreams from your creative consciousness can be a powerful catalyst for creative solutions. Creativity in its broadest sense includes the way we live our lives, make decisions, and handle our relationships and careers. These are done in a manner which is unique and appropriate for each of us through the conscious use of our dreams.
The step-wise process of dream programming and interpretation involves:
1.Making a specific request of your creative consciousness of a concisely and precisely stated question or problem.(This request should be written)
2.Request your creative consciousness to wake you at a given time or use your normal wake state trigger for the answer to come to conscious awareness.
3.The answer may be in the form of colors, sounds, a dream, or it may be explicit. You must use your power of symbolic association or dream interpretation to unravel the answer.
4.For a difficult problem, the answers may come in a sequence of dreams.
5.Systematically generate your dream symbol glossary that is unique to you and perform the dream translation.(Remember to explore symbol translations beyond literal meanings)
6.Relate the dream translation to your request (or to some other situation occurring in your life).
7.Practice makes perfect. This is an inherent ability available to anyone.
Create a "Dream Team" to share the results of your dreams in order to get feedback about your dream interpretation. Remember, only 5% to 10% of dreams are literal! No matter what you dream is probably symbolic. You have to use insight, intuition, and quantum-thinking to unravel the answers to your
burning questions!
Have Fun!
