learn to fly

“Only dreamers can teach us to soar.”
Anne Marie Pierce

And only in dreams can we actually soar like a bird! There’s nothing more liberating than waking from a dream where you have flown through the air, unencumbered and free.

Is it possible to trigger a flying dream? Most people believe that flying dreams represent a release of tension or that they only appear when we have come out of a dark, worrisome period of our lives.

But what if we could will ourselves to fly?

TODAY’S CREATIVITY CHALLENGE:

Pay attention to birds and airplanes today. Or make a paper airplane and throw it through the air. Tell yourself that tonight you will fly in the exact same way in your dreams.

Before bed, take a BATH – yes, a BATH! Lock the door and listen to some soothing, uplifting music. In the bathtub, practice your flying stroke. Imagine yourself swimming through the air. Tell yourself that tonight you will fly in your dreams and it will feel very similar to this.

Tonight, go to bed 10 or 15 minutes earlier than usual. Dim the lights, maybe listen to some soft music or remember the feelings you had today while you were watching the birds or in the bath. When you are ready to sleep, say softly to yourself: TONIGHT, I WILL FLY IN MY DREAMS.

Sleep well.
