I consider dreaming skills one of those essential life skills that each of us should work hard at.
A skill is the ability to put the knowledge into good use.
Here is listed some basic knowledge of the same and more importantly ideas to put that knowledge into action/practice.
Dreaming according to some is akin to building castles in the air. I know, some of you may not really put that in the concrete things to do category, but the more I think of it the more I realize that one cannot create castles from thin air, but one also cannot create them without creating a mental picture of them first.
But dreaming is not just building a mental picture. It is also creating magical stories with imagination and definitely adding some amount of stretch. I will expand on these.
here's a basic definition of a good or positive dream:
1. It inspires
2. It is colorful and vivid
3. You can feel the dream as much as anything real around you
4. It makes you smile
I like the last one a lot.
So now that we know how to test a dream's effectiveness lets get down to how to dream:
1. Write down a life goal
2. Now think of an image that can demonstrate the essence of this goal
3. Now build on that image. think of other related images, videos, dialogue, scents, settings, people. bring everything into it.
4. You now have a rudimentary dream ready. Think of it before you sleep. keep it alive in your consciousness while you are nodding off.
5. When you wake up, I assure you the dream will be all the more prevailing and beautiful. It may or may not be the same you visualized earlier, but the dream would have captured the subject your subconscious is most fascinated with at the moment.
Want an example?
1. Write down a life goal
e.g. Winning an award.
2. Now think of an image that can demonstrate the essence of the goal
e.g. Me holding the award, in a tux, on a beautiful lit stage.
3. Now build on that image. think of other related images, videos, dialogue, scents, settings, people. bring everything into it.
e.g thunderous applause
music
the presenter giving more details
the acceptance speech
the thank you, thank you, thank you
4. You now have a rudimentary dream ready. Think of it before you sleep.
e.g. I did.
5. When you wake up, I assure you the dream will be all the more prevailing and beautiful.
e.g. The dream when I woke up was awesome!
Now that the dream is so vivid and magical, it starts to inspire me.
Every time I feel I cannot go on, the dream makes it so much easier.
I can taste the award, the love and the glory.
I always smile when I think about the dream.
There you have it.
