posted a little early - the search for symbol

“Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
-- Jean-Luc Godard

Last night, we made a specific request of our subconscious. We said “help” and maybe we received that help or maybe, today, we are feeling abandoned, lost or even more confused. Did you have a dream that seems completely unrelated to the question you asked? Did you wake up unable to remember anything at all?

The best way to understand our present is to examine our past. And sometimes, the past is as simple as last week.

TODAY’S CREATIVITY CHALLENGE:

Reread the dreams you have written into your dream journal. If you journal every day, go back and reread any dreams you’ve had in the last few months or year.

Make a list of things that feel like they may be related. Maybe one dream you were standing by a lake and a few days later you had a dream where you were swimming in a pool. Are they related?

Are there any recurring images in your dreams? Are there certain people who show up time and time again? Do you recognize any patterns in your dreams? Are there any recurring themes? Even if it seems like a flimsy connection, write it down.

Look over the similarities, themes, things that might be symbols…do they mean anything to you? Do they remind you of anyone or anything? Do they have anything to do with this unresolved issue that is on your mind?
