Dream On Dreamer

“The best way to make your dreams come true

is to 

Wake Up!

       

This painting was created as a reminder

to slow down so that I can allow my dreams to surface from within.

Be still...

Listen....

Then let your dreams go

For on the wings of faith, love and courage

 they will begin to glow.

Remember if we don’t have a dream 

how can we have a dream come true.

(And if we have forgotten how to unlock our dreams 

we have to find our child within...

she always has the key.)

What I Learned

I love learning from my nighttime dreams. 

I reflect on what the dream is trying to 

reveal to me about my life or

how I have gotten off track.

I really appreciate those precious moments
when I have lucid dreams because I 
become the dreamer of my dreams 
instead of the dreamed.

My lucid dreams usually begin when I realize that something in the dream doesn't quite make sense or when I know what is going to happen next.
It kind of reminds me of one of my favorite movies
called Groundhog's Day  where the character
keep having the same dream happen over
and over until he wakes up and realizes
that he is co-creating his life.

When I wake up from one of these dreams,

 for one brief moment,

 I remember that this life is merely a dream

 within a dream.

 I remember that life is never really as serious

or as scary as it sometimes seems.

But the illusion of life is so strong that
it isn't long before I fall back asleep

and become apart of the dream again.

So during these times I try to remember 
the little childhood song we all know so well.

Row, row, row your boat....

gently down the stream.

Merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream.

 Not saying that some dreams don't feel like nightmares

but that is when we have forgotten
 that we are the dreamer, 
we have allowed ourselves to become
 "the dreamed".

Before we can become the dreamer of our own life

we have to wake up from the illusion of this world

where duality keeps us seeking externally

what has always been right inside each one of us.

Sometimes this is not so easy to do.
We have to face our fears, 
those nagging voices in our minds.

But each time we wake up 

we get stronger and stronger.

Through this strength we stay awake

just a little bit longer than the time before.

Here's to becoming the

Dreamer of your life.
