Had an interesting talk about dreaming with a co-worker last night. We were both chaperoning the senior class trip to a bowling alley. In between our respective frames, we shared childhood dreams and discussed how dreaming is a topic of interest in many spiritual traditions.
She’s been a regular dreamer for most of her life and what was fascinating for me was how quickly she entered into a the discussion and asked the most relevant questions.
This got me thinking about just how much work needs to be done around the collective attitude towards the reality of the dream. What is at the root of our hang up about dreaming? I sense there’s a trillion or so conversations needed to turn the tide. It’s not that daunting a task after this recent conversation…the ten pins were flying.
