Note: This is a post about my daily practice with my Creative Dreams - I often link to the tools, courses and processes I use which are available to Dream Book members. If you're not a member, find out more + join us here.

On Fridays I do my Dream Status Report which is a series of prompts I use every week to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path. You can do them with me (Dream Book members: come post yours in the forum!)!

I know doing the same prompts every week can be annoying sometimes but this is magically clarifying. The repetition helps you go deeper into the process and makes it easier to LEARN from your process as you go, and the apply those learnings right away. This weekly practices helps me learn so much more, even when I'm just stumbling around trying to find my next steps.

Here are the prompts:

PART ONE: (sometimes these can stay the same for months at time, sometimes they change often)

My dream is:

I want it because:

When I have it I will feel:

PART TWO:

Invite your dream in (using the Dream Lab practice) to help you with the rest of the prompts.

PART THREE:

My goal/wish/intention for this New Moon is:

Last week’s focus was:

What happened in the last week?

What am I learning/How do I feel about this?

What do I need now?

What does my dream need now?

Taking all of this into account, my focus for the next week is:

My Dream Status Report for this week:

PART ONE:

My dream is: I want to get an RV or camper van and travel… WITH MY CAT BEAR!!!! Create a comfy cozy home on wheels, and write + make art on the road while we have adventures. AND... last week I got another new dream!! More to come but YAY! I am loving the magic of being excited about a new thing.

I want it because: It feels so sweet and makes me happy. And the new dream, which is more about art I want to make, feels like it will expand and energize my whole life.

When I have it I will feel: I think I will feel so happy, free and thrilled with my life.

PART TWO:

Invite the soul of your dream in (using the Dream Lab practice) to help you with the rest of the prompts.

My dream is a meadow of wildflowers and it says "Your dream is NOT just those things. It's the thrill and magic of being who you are. There is so much good ahead of you!"

PART THREE:

Last week’s focus was: Pausing before the next step, get grounded and acclimated before moving on.

What happened in the last week? This was a weird week. I think I am more grounded and acclimated and ready for my next steps, but I didn't take as many of those steps as I thought I would. Though - I write these things on Thursday mornings, and, as of the time of writing this - I do have my schedule for Thursday and Friday mostly set aside to work on taking these steps.

What am I learning/How do I feel about this?

I am really tired of learning how "it takes the time it takes" but here we are, lol. But mostly I feel accepting, I am really happy about what I am moving towards, which makes it easier to access that it's not happening as fast as I would like.

Also I had an intense therapy session this week on a day that I had a big panic attack. Definitely some new lessons coming in around not trying to control the process of life, and focusing on how I am tending to myself vs trying to "improve" myself.

I've had a lot of thoughts lately about "self improvement" being such a big part of personal growth and healing - and how it shouldn't be. And I've known that for a long time, but it's SO culturally engrained in it, that it keeps seeping in.

We are wonderful. There is nothing that needs improvement in ourselves but there is LOADS that needs tending to - our dreams, our hurts, etc.

What do I need now?

Patience. To listen to myself about what I need from moment to moment.

What does my dream need now?

The wildflowers in the meadow are just kind of sparkling. It's like - they just need to live. Soak up sun and be gorgeous.

Taking all of this into account, my focus for the next week is:

Take my next steps and keep taking them. Listen to myself about what I need from moment to moment.
