Four Stages of Dream Work:
1- Preparing your consciousness through prayer and meditation- show an interest in your dreams
2- Recalling (pray for remembrance- self-suggestion that you remember dreams before going to sleep)
- set the stage, have an inquiring mind, desire to learn and grow and be guided
3- Interpreting
- You are your own best interpreter
- Come to the core message of the dream
- review the dream in your mind and go back to sleep asking for the meaning to be revealed (same night dreams often carry the same message)
4- Applying
- honors the dreamer and the Creator
- Claim our own Christhood
Strategies for Recall:
- Review past dreams
- Record dreams, either in a notebook or on recorder
- Stay still- recall dream before you move
- Talk about your dreams to others
- Prayer and self-suggestion
Dream Work is Work! It takes consistent practice to see the patterns emerge. The more you work on it the better you can become at listening to God through your dreams. Coupled with prayer and meditation, this is a way to come into a complete relationship with God.
(Workshop Leader- Jerry Lazarus, speaker for A.R.E.)
What is "A.R.E."???
ReplyDeleteThe dreams I live for are Goals to be achieved.
A.R.E. is the Association for Research and Enlightenment (www.edgarcayce.org). Cayce was a modern-day prophet- Christian, Sunday school teacher who had a gift of prophesy- and many of his predictions have come true. A lot were about how to heal people of seemingly strange things. (This was the 1930's and 40's- medicine didn't know things they know now, but Cayce told people things like using screws to help heal broken bones!) He gave many personal readings for people that were dead-on.
ReplyDeleteStill blown away you know more about Cayce than I do now!
ReplyDeleteI read a good biography on him- he was meekly extraordinary! I would like to know more about his work. I'm learning bit by bit, though.
