I am having such a lovely weekend.

So I am kind of excited to do my Dream Status Report for this week. I do the this practice (or try to!) every week because a consistent practice of reflecting + noticing is a HUGE part of how we figure out how to get to our dreams. There is so much to learn from our own process, from looking at what happens when we get an intention and try to show up for it.

We are really in the ALCHEMY of it and allowing the healing, growth and change that our dream is calling us towards, when we do what we can to really notice and BE WITH what's happening in our own process.

As I reflect on last week and dream on next week, one question comes up:

How am I RECEIVING my dream?

What am I doing to actively BE in a receptive state?

This feels like the thing to carry with me this week.

I mean this in two ways: first literally being receptive of my dream arriving in my life.

But also being receptive to LISTENING to my dream about what it really is.

For a while now it's felt like... as the world changes our dreams will likely change too.

We need to stay open to this.

Our dreams are a creative and spiritual response to the world we live in - so as the world is changing so much, our dreams may change too.

It's easy to hold onto a dream, even when it wants to change, and to not notice how tightly you are holding on.

Am I doing that? Holding onto a dream that wants some space to change? Yes, it feels like I am in some ways but I can't quite put my finger on it.

When I REALLY sit with it...

It feels like my dreams are not quite what I think they are, and like I am trying to hold them into something smaller and more logical than they actually are.

It feels really uncomfortable to sit with this. I'd like some predictable dreams/goals to work on!

But I've been meditating on this a lot and it's getting really trippy...

What we allow ourselves to dream about and how we allow ourselves to dream about it are both HUGELY culturally informed. The part of us who makes these decisions is rooted in the world we live in.

So much of the ugly rotting roots of our culture are currently being revealed, which impacts culture itself. Culture is changing quickly.

So this creates an opening, a space where we can hear our dreams without so much of culture's influence.

For me, I am hearing this as new directions to take my art, new goals for my art, and a new sense of myself as an artist.

And it's so much weirder and bigger than what I think I want.

My dream is asking me to engage with my dreams - which means engage with my creativity and my soul and my self - in different ways than I ever have.

So if the part of me who has made these decisions about my dreams is rooted, in a particular way, in the world I live in.... what would these decisions looks like if I allowed a part of me who is more deeply rooted in soul to be in charge?

Which is not at all black + white like that. A lot of the ways we are rooted into the culture we live in are so unconscious. And a lot of the ways we are rooted into soul are also unconscious!

But if I could strip back another layer of cultural conditioning what would that mean for my dreams?

This feels important to listen to.

It's not what I had planned to be my focus for this week, but after this reflection... it feels like the thing I need to focus on this week.

So I am making space for these explorations this week, I want to do lots of Hello Day and Dream Lab meditations. I want to make art WITHOUT trying so much to decide what it is - I want to let the art tell me what it is and let me show me something new about who I am even.
