What the spirit encounters

In ancient Chinese dream manuals, dreaming is referred to as spirit wandering. I like this idea of the dream world as another reality, accessible to the spirit through the medium of sleep. Those moments when we're drifting off kind of feel like traveling.

I believe that sleep is a sacred part of being alive. And yet sleep can be treacherous for grievers. It may be cunningly elusive or a space of nightmares and unease. In my Lunar Infusion readings, we consider what dreams and the unconscious mind can tell us about your grief process, and potential ways to use the information from your dreams.

People often tell me they feel unimaginative and wish they could be more creative. But we all have boundless creative potential, the proof of which is in our dreams. If you can conjure alternate worlds in your sleep, you just need to tap into the unconscious mind for inspiration.

One easy way we can begin to work with dreams is to journal them in correspondence with the phase and transits of the moon. Noting the moon’s place in the sky will help you delve into your dreams with intention and presence. Dreams are where the unconscious mind works through emotional responses. The moon’s signification with emotional identity and expression makes it an ideal cosmological ally in dreamwork.
