I am THINKING ABOUT my Dream Status Report for this week.

I encourage us to all do this every week or so. I try to write about mine every week to remind you to do yours!

I have a lot of resistance to doing it this week. So I've been thinking about all the reasons why I don't actually need to do it. And I can come up with lots of reasons... AND... the more I think about it the clearer it got: I was IN resistance.

There was something I didn't want to face.

The WHOLE THING about Creative Dream Alchemy is to face the thing that's actually there.

We dance in so many ways in so many circles trying to avoid the thing that's actually there. We look too far ahead of where we are and try to take those steps and end up falling flat on our faces, or we say "Oh I'm not ready for that yet" and do nothing.

All of your POWER and MAGIC are related when you face the thing that is ACTUALLY there.

AND this is a practice. It's hard.

We all avoid the things we want to avoid, and a lot of this avoidance is unconscious so it can take time, and attention and, mostly, PRACTICE.

So the thing is, to actually DO my Dream Status Report for this week, I'd have to face the thing I am avoiding.

GROAN.

I thought about this most of the day yesterday.

I've had some health problems for the last 4-5 weeks. We can't predict the future but I have every reason to believe this is temporary. It's something that I've always had, there are not a lot of treatment options. It comes and goes so I've been waiting it out.

And that's fine when it's short term.

But 4-5 weeks in, "waiting it out" starts to look like "avoiding how I feel about this disabling thing that is happening to me".

And I didn't notice when it shifted, you know?

So, to reflect HONESTLY on how last week was, in order to do my report and know what is best to focus on for this coming week... I would have to include ALL of what happened last week which would include the health problems and how they impacted things which would have to include how I feel about them.

This slowly dawned on me over the course of the day yesterday.

ASIDE: This is what I mean by how POWERFUL and TRANSFORMATIVE this kind of practice is. It directs your thinking to what needs thinking on and helps create space for the breakthroughs you need. I would not have kept exploring this thing so deeply if I didn't have the consistent Dream Status Report Practice within the Creative Dream Alchemy Practice. These structures HOLD SPACE for your process.

Suddenly I felt like I was sitting on layers of calcified feelings.

And I could no longer sit on top, I need to BE IN THEM. I sunk into all of the sadness and frustration and fear about what's happening with my body.

I panicked. I cried.

And then I started to feel lighter.

It was like I could feel the ground beneath me again.

That all these feelings had been gathering, collecting, building underneath me. Kind of forming a block between me and.... well, me.

It was so HONOURING OF MYSELF to acknowledge all of these layers of feelings. It helped me come back to myself.

And I hadn't noticed how this accumulation of unfelt feelings was impacting my vision.

So often I say, about all of the things I teach, it doesn't matter that you "do the thing" perfectly or answer the prompt in a linear way. It matters that you dive in and be with what is there.

So, "working on my Dream Status Report for this week" looked like noticing my resistance to it, thinking about why it might be there, circling it for a bit, then finally noticing all these unfelt feelings, feeling them, and re-connecting to myself.

No I haven't even looked at the prompts yet, lol.

But this has been SOOOOO helpful already.

And yes - now I will make anther cup of coffee, sit down with my Dream Book 2026   planner/dreamer and do my prompts.
