The Moon – Influence – Sometimes you can’t know it, but you can dream it. Something is pressing on you, like gravity, the way the moon’s pressure rolls and presses on our tidal waters.
Your Subconscious Knows – You are a secret to yourself but your subconscious has the answers. Yet she only reveals herself in dreams. Time for some interpretation. Object dreams are fear dreams, people dreams are love dreams, motion dreams are future dreams. The opposite of fear, remember, is attraction, the opposite of love is hate and the opposite of yearning for the future is stasis. Each forward pulse contains its opposite.

Challenge – With this knowledge and assistance, you can interpret your own dreams. If you are an artist, you must draw or paint it. Don’t look for rigid accuracy – we seek connections, not edges, interpretations, not walls and blocks. The purpose of dreaming is to splinter blocks. If you are a writer, write out not only the dream but its connections, what it makes you think about, what if it reminds you of. If there was a prominent object, animal or person in the dream, seek out a picture in books or from the internet, and gaze at it for insight.

Danger – We seek to heighten, not damage, your self-will. Others in your life – relative, friends, advertisers, politicians – are trying to take control of you. Don’t let them. The way to stop that is to take control of your fears yourself, so that you will never be ruled by them. Remember, the opposite of fear is attraction. We always seek a way upward. The direction of the spiral must always be UP.

Opportunity – This is a unique opportunity for self-definition and growth. Form a Dream Group where you can discuss your dreams with others, offer positive (i.e. helpful and growth-oriented) interpretations of each other’s dreams and attempt some lucid dreaming together. The way to do this is to promote a Sacred Circle with drumming, physical touch, music and yoga. Choose an evening hour when you are naturally a bit tired. Ying flate on the floor – protected by yoga mats, a comforter or a comfy carpet. Inaugurate a round of deep breathing, punctuated by soft, rhythmic chanting. “OM” is easiest and most effective. The first person to wake prepares a floral, herbal tea such as chamomile, puts on soft music and slowly wakes the others. Discuss and write down everything you remember or imagine. This is usually a dynamic way to take control of your dreams and begin dreaming as a group.
