(4) remember and reimagine your dreams

   What you dream about represents the emerging tides in the subtle mirror of your consciousness. This part of you revels in what is behind the skies of your reality. It represents what is on its way to being, at least in terms of encoded tonality. They are abstract, symbolic forecasts for what is trying to become, and so allow you to gauge the trajectory of your arrow as it sears the dark. Your dreams are your peek into the kitchen to see what's cooking, which is why it's absolutely critical that you learn to remember your dreams.

     Give yourself time after you wake up to remember as many segments or episodes of your dream as you can. Scan for those gems of surreal promise.  Acknowledge all the good that happened: the people that were present, the faces of friends and would be friends, and the beautiful and beautifully haunting places. Remember and savor the good parts, drinking once again of that cup of experience to reinforce it. By simply revisiting those dream memories, you are coaxing that ethereal sprout closer to the surface of manifestation. Not just once after waking, but several times throughout the day, project yourself back into those momentums to keep their fire alive. The more you focus your attention into exploring what is good in your dreams, the more fuel you are giving that flicker to be cultivated.

    Likewise, recall all that was bad or distasteful in your dreams; ranging from the outright nightmarish to that which was simply less than what you wanted.  Scan for the red flags, and when you find them, reimagine them. Literally reshape them into whatever you prefer, while still retaining some of the original elements. Changing up certain features allows you to target that energy signature as it exists in your deep mind, and shift it just slightly enough for it to give up its ghost. Because dreams embody the currents of what you are currently becoming, try making a list of what you want to become in your waking, and set the intention to dream about those behaviors. Place a candle at the altar of the night. Pray to the soul of your sleep, and imagine how that nonsensical dream you are asking for might unfold.  Then, when you wake up and realize that you didn't dream about it, go back and reimagine last night's dream to include more of the things you wanted to dream about; the things on your manifestation list. Once you start having the dreams you intend to have, be sure to reinforce them by remembering, revisiting, reimagining, revealing, and rehealing them multiple times. You may even find it helps to keep a lock, on which is written your list of things to manifest, and make note each time you successfully dream of that subject, therefore tracking your progress. 

> Learn to remember your dreams so as to become familiar with what is active in your subconscious. Then also learn to reimagine your dreams, reshaping and altering certain aspects to more directly reflect your preference. In doing so you send a direct signal to that aspect of your subconscious narrative, informing it to shift. <
