This one gets so WEIRD but it’s actually GENIUS [Dream Status Report]

I am siting down to do my Dream Status Report for this week to check in with myself and my dreams and what I need and what my dreams need, for the coming week.

Doing this, consistently over time, IS MAGIC.... this is where your dream becomes REALITY. This is where you stop and notice: How am I showing up? Is this working for me? What else might be needed? This is where we figure things out!! There is so much we can learn by witnessing our own process.

AND... Consistency is hard for most of us these days! So - I try to do this on Sundays, and write about it, to remind you to also take a few minutes to check in with yourself and your dreams. Do this with me!!

This one is a little long and it gets WEIRD but it’s actually GENIUS the way it all comes together in the end.

What happens when you really go into the ALCHEMY of being with your thoughts and feelings as you sort through your next steps… often gets WEIRD. It hits is a really emotional/spiritual place where only YOU understand the message from YOUR dream.

So I don’t share this thinking you will understand what I mean about what my dream is telling me, I share it to be the change I want to see in the world, and to remind you to go DEEPER into your inner process with your dream instead of always trying to move FASTER in the outer process… because that is actually what gets you there faster.

Starting with a bow of gratitude to past me who made the Dream Status Report Meditation to go with these journal prompts!

I am all over the place this morning, this meditation really helped me settle and focus and be able to do this.

(If you want to go deeper into it, you could also use the replay from the last Co-Dreaming call to get the 40 minute alchemy process for reflecting on your week and receiving the message/insight/healing that your dream has for you now - and we’ll do that again this Friday!)

For a very long time I have believed that we need alchemy meditation + journaling together to be able to create real, grounded, lasting change in our lives… but these days I feel like we need alchemy meditation + journaling together just to navigate these times!

The more often you do these, the more you develop your relationship with the Field of Creative Dream Alchemy which is a way of deepening your relationship with the place inside you where you always believe in yourself, always believe in your dreams and always trust yourself to know what to do next.

Once in a while I see someone on social media sharing something along the lines of “Hey guys we can just shift into a better timeline! Just be positive! Be nice! Have fun! Let’s do this!”

And it’s like… if you have the ability to “just be positive” and then none of this dystopia will affect you… that’s not spiritual growth, that’s priviledge and luck.

And also, I don’t know who said this, but the best definition of how climate change/collapse is happening is by watching weather events with increasing intensity, happening more often, through the screen on your device, until they are happening in front of you. 

Your positive thoughts won’t change that.

Your positive/hopeful thoughts combined with thoughtful action supporting the people who have been in the fight for a better future for decades… that’s where the magic happens.

We need to go deeper.

So when I talk about that place inside you where you always believe in yourself and always believe in your dreams… this is not spiritual bypassing. I am talking about going deeper inner work to be able to access this. This is what everything in the Creative Dream Incubator is set up to help you do.

You have creative and spiritual gifts that are meant for these times… because you are here now.

Everything about how dominant culture tells us how to live severs us from those gifts.

So the work of creative dreaming gets so complicated as we have to un-learn a lot to be able to re-learn (re-lean as in “we were born knowing”) how to connect with our gifts and BE who we really ARE.

One you have that, the work of building your dream is so much more straightforward.

This came up on a recent call so I want to mention it… a few years ago I did a class called Slow The Fuck Down! BE As Powerful, Creative and Magnetic as you ARE! and that replay is worth revisiting once in a while! The work of slowing down is surprisingly complicated and magical.

In the meditation, my dream shows up as… At least 6 women on water skies doing tricks like standing on each other in a pyramid formation (on water skies! Attached to a speed boat!!!)

Looking more closely, there are 10 women. In sparking bodysuits. In a pyramid. Flying across the water.

This is amazing!!!!

Also I know this lake… it’s the only lake I ever water skied in, as a child. The lake that my dad’s best friend had a cottage on. He passed away this summer.

But I am remembering… wow this is so relevant in light of what I shared about how dominant culture severs us from our gifts and shows us how to live disconnected…. going to their cottage every summer and being so IN AWE of these people who were really rich and had all these fancy things. 

I am remembering my child self excited about being able to try water skiing and also the process of learning to discover what is right for me instead of doing what other people are doing... in all honestly I am not a water ski person. I am a swimmer. I prefer my lakes without speed boats flying around.

So thinking back to my dream… it was that vision of the 10 women in sparkling bodysuits water skiing in a pyramid.... I am noticing that place where the ropes they were holding attached to the boat.

And that place - all 10 ropes coming together attaching to the boat, was two things at once. It was also a hand (my hand!!) holding onto the handle of a kite, with 10 ropes leading to 10 different (huge!) kites.

Which feels in tune with a common theme of creative dreaming…. I feel small, my dream feels big...

And these dreams (kites) are so big but this time, right now, I feel like I can handle it because of the ropes all being attached to one handle.

Because the wind is helping to hold up the kites.

Also there is a “magic vibe” around the bodysuits sparkling in the sun.

It feels like… yes there is a LOT going on here. Yes lots of project at once! I can’t really handle them on my own, I do need the wind to help keep them all in the air, I do need to rely a bit on magic.

BUT

I AM holding it all. The kites ARE in the air.

Compared to times when I have felt so insignificantly small in comparison to my big dreams that I could HOLD THEM.

I can hold them!

I have a handle that allows me to hold them with one hand. It feels like I BUILT THIS HANDLE TO HELP ME HOLD THEM BETTER.

And then I realise…

I kind of feel like a woman in a sparkling bodysuit at the top of a pyramid flying across the water in the sunshine.

It’s so magical and amazing and freeing… just the joy of being in the moment...

Sure I could fall..

But I’d land in the water and I love the water.

Wow. OK. Taking that energy into my journal prompts…

I do feel like I have “too much” on the go right now but my dream is showing me that it’s ok, I’ve got it.

That “handle” with all the ropes attached to it is my project management app, lol. But it’s also the two Dream Books I am doing, and the Dream Book 2026 to hold space for myself and all the ways that work informs how I am planning in the project management app and implementing those plans and checking in with my process and learning as I go.

Again. WOW. That meditation totally changed how I see where I am.

I had this idea about a thing I could try this week, and it kind of matches the energy of the pyramid of water skiers in sparkling bodysuits, so I am going to do it.

I am in so many processes with so many projects that sometimes I get overwhelmed... but this meditation reminds me that I can trust that I am holding them all at once. And I am!

I did a lot of journaling today and this was where I ended:

I am moving DEEPER into the inner process of my work instead of trying to move FASTER with the outer process. There is so much magic and healing here. I love that I am moving so slow, so I can experience it all.

And I made a list of things to focus on this week - for my work and for my self care and for my art.

And I want to focus on that sensation of feeling like the woman in the sparkling bodysuit at the top of the pyramid flying across the water and trusting the magic of it.

Where are you this week? I'd love to hear you updates in the forum.
