Dream Activism win real Dream Affirmations win real

Author Rosemary Guiley (visionaryliving(1)) shared her expertise on dreams and their interpretations as the guest on Tuesday night. Dreams arise from the oldest part of the brain and take place in their own kind of dimension or "dreamscape," she said.

"On a mass scale we are all connected through consciousness," said Guiley, who believes that dreams can affect the path of the future. Towards that end, she has become involved in a Dream Activism Group, formed after 9-11 as a side project at the Association for the Study of Dreams(2). The goal of the activism group is "to get people to dream together in a positive way at the same time," and two dates are set aside each month, she explained.

Guiley said people can use "incubation" techniques to induce certain types of dreams, or dream experiences. For example, "tonight I dream the awakened heart," is one affirmation she suggested saying to oneself before going to sleep. Interestingly she noted that mugwort "the dreaming herb" can be placed in a cotton sachet under one's pillow to encourage vivid dreams.
