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.

I spent a lot of this week stuck in a very sticky pool of resistance.

Like - quicksand only sticky instead of quick?

It feels gross.

My dream and my current new moon intention felt SO FAR AWAY. I felt like I need to take action IMMEDIATELY and also I didn't know what action to take.

This is such a common creative dream dynamic. We want to move forward but we can get in a panic about moving forward, and making decisions from the panic is not helpful. What we need in those moments is to stop moving.

It's the Compass of Creative Dream Alchemy.

We are trying to do Outer Work when either Dream Work or Inner Work is what's called for. If we can do the correct "work" then we can get moving. If we keep trying to force the Outer Work we're going to get ourselves more stuck.

Which describes my week, lol.

Luckily I took a day off in there to go to the beach and that really helped re-set my mind and be like "Hey if I really want to take action, how about I step back, look at where I am where I want to be and brainstorm more ways to create the path and really look at finding/creating the BEST way instead of taking steps as quickly as possible?"

This morning I journaled out PAGES of brainstorms of all the ways I COULD do what I want to do.

And I noticed there is this part of me who is mad that I haven't already done this, and so judges every idea I have, and if a part of me is trying to quiet that part... well it's just a lot of my energy going to nonsense instead of being available to work on this thing that I want to do.

My dream shows up as a fluffy baby bird.

And it just feels like... you got this. My whole body softens. I feel so supported.

The bird wants me to remember the brainstorming I did in my journal this morning - there are good ideas there! You got this!

And then all of the resistance I've been feeling this week just feels... ok. Like "This is ok. This is just a part of the process. I'm working through it."

I need to keep coming back to this place of trust.
