This exercise is asking yourself questions and receiving answers. The easiest form the questions you ask yourself can take is to ask what someone you know, and have contact with, is doing at the moment you ask the question. As you ask the question, the answer will immediately appear in your mind. Get as clear an impression as you can. Notice what the environment they are in, kind of clothing they are wearing and the color, etc. Check the time. The next time you talk to the person, ask what they were doing at that time and what they were wearing. Being able to validate the accuracy of your perceptions builds confidence. I suggest that you practice this process as often as possible, to refine your ability to recognize and accept the first impression that comes to mind. It is also advantageous to have others ask you questions and practice receiving immediate impressions.
Now, let’s talk about your night time dreams. For the purposes of this program, we are going to say that all dreams are bringing you messages. These messages are for the 10% of you, operating at a conscious level, to understand what the 100% of you is focusing on. Usually, when we are involved in situations and conditions in our waking life, we take those issues into the dreamscape, and magnify the emotional content. Let’s say, as an example, in waking life you need a missing piece of a project or the next step in a plan. In the dreamscape, you might be driving a car and the brakes won’t work or the steering wheel makes no difference. What the dream illustrates is that, in the waking state you are feeling a loss of control or direction. In the waking life, these instances may seem minor but the dreamscape shows how emotionally important they really are. Many, many times the dreams will also indicate the proper course of action to take in the waking life. They also, on a regular basis, forewarn of coming events. The method of learning how to remember your dreams is to begin keeping a dream log. If you are not able to remember your dreams, or are only able to do so on a limited basis, the following practice will help. Immediately upon a wakening, pick up the paper and pen you have placed next to the bed and write about anything you can remember of your dreams. List any emotion you felt, and, if possible, what you felt the emotion about. If a long and detailed memory emerges, initially write the barest of outlines. As an example, if, in the dream, you were riding in a car with a woman and had a long conversation and then arrived at a destination and went into a hotel and had a series of experiences there and then found yourself in a vacant field with some other people. Immediately write “woman in car, went into hotel, field with people.” If you try to write the all details from the scene in the car, you will have forgotten the rest of the dream by the time you are ready to write about it. By doing the quick outline and then going back and filling it in, you will be able to remember more of the dream details. With some practice you can begin to see the issue dreams and the premonition dreams. Coupled with your intuitive abilities, these dreams become immeasurable valuable. Your prewritten affirmations that tell you that you can now remember your dreams can really help you remember your dreams.
