Hero’s Dream Journey Stage 6: Belly of the Whale

Last updated on: February 18, 2013 at 1:02 am By Kelly Sullivan Walden

Now that you’ve crossed the threshold, from a nighttime dream perspective, this is when you close your eyes to the waking world, and open your inner eyes to the topsy-turvy, Alice In Wonderland-esque terrain of your dreams (or more accurately, Jonas and the Whale-esque ocean). Read more

Hero’s Dream Journey Stage 4: Meet the Mentor

Last updated on: January 27, 2013 at 11:06 pm By Kelly Sullivan Walden

Why is it necessary to have a mentor to support you through your hero’s dream journey? What kind of mentor/guide/coach would be sufficient for this task? Once you identify your mentor, how will you work with them? I’ve found that working with a powerful mentor can make or break the hero’s dream journey…especially when times get tough, rough, or even confusing (which they inevitably do.) A great mentor does the miraculous job of connecting their mentee with their own internal... Read more

Hero’s Dream Journey – Stage 1: Ordinary World

Last updated on: January 17, 2013 at 11:24 am By Kelly Sullivan Walden

This stage of the Hero’s Journey relates to ordinary aspects of dream work, i.e. your dream zone (aka your bedroom) and your habits around bedtime. For example learning to “Feng Shui Your Dream Zone” can support you in making an ordinary bedroom into a dream temple, conducive for high frequency dream work. Read more

Embodiment, Activation, Master Mind

Last updated on: October 1, 2012 at 11:03 pm By Kelly Sullivan Walden

Your life is a path. Knowingly or unknowingly you have been on a vision quest. It is good to have a vision, a dream. ~Agnes Whistling Elk E is for Embodiment The most important aspect of nighttime dream work is the embodiment of the energy, emotion, and/or feeling tone of the dream. Whether or not you remember your dream in vivid detail, recalling the way the dream made you feel and the energy it produced is key. Within this portal... Read more

Remembrance

Last updated on: October 1, 2012 at 10:59 pm By Kelly Sullivan Walden

This is the critical stage where you stand on the bridge between sleep and awake. If you jump too quickly into your waking life—splash water on your face and guzzle down a cup of coffee—you will be blinded by the light, your dreams will quickly be a distant memory, and your treasures will be left in the dark. When you stand on the bridge between sleep and awake the key is to wake-up s-l-o-w-l-y, retain your dreams, and gently bridge... Read more

Declaration

Last updated on: October 11, 2012 at 9:20 pm By Kelly Sullivan Walden

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back– Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings... Read more

And The Dream Goes on

Last updated on: October 1, 2012 at 10:42 pm By Kelly Sullivan Walden

“I’ve dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they’ve gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.” -Emily Bronte The bottom line about dream work is that the dream doesn’t have to be over just because you woke up. If the dream was unpleasant, then (as mentioned in the previous program) you can go back in, through meditation and re-direct your dream... Read more
