1 Pick a dream with clear images, where you remember the beginning, middle, and end In your imagination, run through the dream Familiarize yourself with the symbols, feelings, actions, and characters 2 Return to the beginning and instead of running it as is a second time, imagine you re backing it up so you can see what happened

just before the dream began Make a note of the predream activity Replay it from the new starting point to where it stopped before 3 Keep playing the dream past its normal endpoint See what happens next Use the new insights about causes and outcomes to help you find the deeper messages in your dream

1 Pick any dream, but a frustrating or frightening one works especially well Review the beginning, middle, and end, remembering the feelings, symbols, and actions 2 Just at the point where you get frustrated or terrified, introduce a new character into the dream Let your imagination invent someone, and continue the dream with the intervention and help of the new person, entity, or animal What happens next How does the dream resolve 3 How does the new character represent a new part of you that might want to be activated What is the lesson your soul is trying to teach you

you are centered in a location, inside or outside Slow the speed way down or freeze-frame the action Now look around What direction are you facing: east, south, west, or north What s to the left, right, and behind you Where s the light coming from Are there other people nearby you didn t notice before If you re inside, go outside If you re outside and there s a house or vehicle, go in Try zooming up in the air and see the lay of the land What s just beyond the horizon 2 Notice what extra information you receive How does that data help you understand the dream process and message You can repeat the process with other dream locations within the same dream and see how the expanded knowledge helps the pieces fit together

1 Create an imaginary dialogue with a dream character The conversation can be between you and the character, or between two characters Have the characters ask each other questions Why are you here What s your complaint or biggest problem What are you good at doing How are you supposed to help me How can I help you What do you want to do next 2 Create an imaginary dialogue with a dream symbol Focus attention on a symbol, give your energy to it, and let it give its energy to

you Enter and merge with the symbol, become it, then speak directly in first person about what you represent, what your expertise is, and why you appeared at this time Describe how you feel and why What do you need help with What is your message

1 If you re being chased or threatened by a dream monster, wild animal, serial killer, science fiction character, or violent family member or ex-spouse, you can turn things around quickly Review the dream later in a meditation, moving to the point where the anxiety reaches its crescendo, and you feel the most helpless and panic-stricken In the meditation, stop running or acting like a victim Turn and face your pursuer Pull out an imaginary weapon that is more powerful than your opponent Ask: Why are you chasing me What do you want from me What do you need to tell me See what the character says If the scene wants to progress into a dialogue, let it You might demand of it: Give me a present! 2 Once the tension resolves and you find understanding, let the image of the opponent melt and dissolve As it does, the energy that was in it flows back into you and you become stronger, more confident, and full of yourself
