On Fridays I do these "Dream Status Report" prompts to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path.

There are journaling sheets for doing this! these are available for everyone, not just membership members. Download them here.

This was a chaotic week.

I had a family thing that was really great in lots of ways and completely draining too. AND... I filed for divorce. I know I was ready to do it, and I was feeling good about it, but then after it just brought up a lot of stuff. So I've been feeling pretty tired, and resting a lot and processing a lot, and not moving a lot.

It's a big step to move from "going through a divorce" to "being divorced" and it includes lots of tiring little steps.

When I look at the Dream Status Report prompts all I can think is: I am a creative dream SLUG.

Just... laying on the ground. In a garden in dappled sunlight. Not really doing much.

So... I just looked up slugs on wikipedia.

Because all I am associating them with is barely moving. But of course they are so much more than that!

The thing that stood out to me on Wikipedia is that they form this protective mucus, which leaves a trail wherever they go... and other slugs like potential mates can find them from their trail.

So when I feel like I am just laying here like a slug...

Actually I am leaving a trail so I can be found.

I am not looking for a mate, I am thinking more about my work, and showing up for our dreams in general.

I'm not ONLY moving slow and staying on the ground in a restorative way, I am leaving a trail so my dreams can find me.

That feels reassuring.

When you feel like you're "off" with your dreams, this is the work.

Show up anyway.

I couldn't do a "real" dream status report but I sat with what came up. I gave it space. Now I feel more accepting of where I am and ready to take different steps next week.

I also have this thought that keeps coming to me:

TRUST YOUR ART

And reminders of how I have made art not knowing what I was doing, and how the art led me somewhere.

So that's what I am going to do this weekend.

Co-Dreaming/Co-Working call is today!

We'll start with a short meditation for connecting with the soul of your dream (like the Dream Lab) and then have time for whatever you want to do - planning next week, working on your projects, sharing your updates, talking about something that is stuck with your dreams or just hanging out in the magic of the group.

Call details are here. Replay will be there a few hours after we're done today.
