You are worthy
YOU ARE WORTHY OF YOUR BIGGEST DREAMS.
We all have a ceiling on what we think is actually possible for us and that ceiling isn't about reality, it's about our own self concept, which is completely malleable.
Though I don't believe we should be constantly pushing on that ceiling in the name of "dreaming bigger".
It's that we have a mental concept of "right size" "too small" and "too big" and sometimes our dreams push up against that, and so we try to shrink our dreams into what feels do-able.
But your dream is your soul speaking to you.
So, instead of trying to shove it into a smaller container that fits with your current sense of what is possible for you, how about you listen to what it's actually saying?
You are worthy of your BIGGEST dreams.
How about giving yourself space to consider... what do you REALLY want?
Yes, you live in a world that is hostile to dreams. Yes, compromises may need to be made. Yes, the world will judge and belittle your dreams and ask you who are you to think you can do this?
AND your dream is your soul calling you towards your true self. There is magic and power in this.
And there is a big difference between going after your dream and landing on a compromise, and making compromises about what you will ever allow yourself to dream about 👈👈👈
Your dream is here to heal and grow you. But it can only work it's magic if you accept it.
YOU ARE WORTHY OF YOUR WEIRDEST DREAMS
The call to conform is so powerful and invisible. We don't even notice all the ways we censor and distort ourselves in order to fit in.
All the ways your heart's desires stray from the mainstream point to your unique power and magic.
You're not a cookie cutter you're a living breathing mystery.
Everywhere you try to fit in you cut yourself off from your own magic
YOU ARE WORTHY OF YOUR WILDEST DREAMS
FEELING WORTHY of your dreams is magic. It's healing.
CLAIMING YOUR DREAMS is saying: This is the world I want to help create. This is what I believe in. This is what is important to me. THIS is who I am.
Though it's SO EASY to feel not good enough because dreams are so VULNERABLE.
FEELING WORTHY of your dreams isn't something you naturally have, or don't have.
It's a thing to cultivate. 👈👈👈
In all my years of doing this work, I have never worked with anyone who ALWAYS felt worthy of their dreams.
Of course it's possible that those people exist but just don't hire people like me. But it's more likely that we ALL struggle with this...
But I don't think it's human nature to doubt our dreams, I think it's a consequence of the colonialist capitalist culture we live in.
And guess what? ARTISTS AND DREAMERS HAVE THE ABILITY TO IMPACT AND CHANGE CULTURE.
But to do this we have to keep doing the work of freeing ourselves of the ways our culture negatively impacts us.
We have to DO THE WORK to cultivate a sense of worthiness.
Your dreams chose you.
You are already worthy.
It's up to you if you're going to cultivate worthiness as a FEELING and STATE OF BEING.
This was a message I received from my dream last year.
In response, I create two alchemy classes for Dream Book members:
BEING OPEN + RECEPTIVE to your dreams
And I know a lot of you did this work with me then, I want to encourage you to keep doing it. (And if you didn't - join Dream Book now and do it!!!!)
FEELING WORTHY OF MY DREAMS is a daily practice.
Dream Book members:
Come to the forum to share your thoughts or start a conversation about whatever you're working with.
Get your next Dream Book lesson or get a weekly journaling + alchemy kit.
Go the Library of Creative Dream Alchemy to find a practice that fits for where you are or use the Dream Lab if you're not sure where to start.
