Are You a Dreamer? ... Dream Coaching
(Dream coaching (Dreamwork) is fully explored
during Systems 3,
and is integrated into subsequent Soulwork coach training (Systems 4 -10).
Dreaming may be older than
human consciousness. You can watch sleeping babies and sleeping animals move their limbs and
body, and make unusual sounds. Your dreams may seem to assimilate or
integrate events
and to evaluate your future possibilities. Dreams are one way that you make sense of
your world, comparing your experiences with your memories. Many books
have been written about analyzing the content of dreams, as if your unconscious
mind uses the same symbols as the author, regardless of your history, family and
cultural background.

When one person
wants personal success, he may dream alone; while when more people are
involved, they can learn to dream together Teresa

Daydreams & Visualization
Can you imagine yourself lying on a beach enjoying the sun or
perhaps walking in the mountains on a crisp morning? Can you daydream and
picture yourself in places you'd like to go to, or doing things you enjoy or
have always wanted to try?
Athletes often do this before a competition. They
imagine themselves skiing a hill or moving through their gymnastic movements.
They see themselves doing each move perfectly and winning an award.
The Harvard Business School surveyed recent graduates about
their goals and again ten years later. Graduates with clear goals were making two
to ten times the income of their classmates. This is directed daydreaming.
Hawaiian Dream-time: Moe Uhane
For the healing kahuna of old Hawaii, unusual or recurring dreams were
considered significant, and worthy of exploration. To better recover the details
of a dream, and to find the meanings, a kahuna might join a person
within a dream. Hawaiian dreamwork is called "moe uhane" -
dreams of the spirit or lucid dreaming - and is a potent key to open the door
of Hawaiian Spirituality.
We have thoroughly explored and extended this concept since
1988, and we developed useful methods for using dreams for coaching, psychotherapy
and personal development. Soulwork Dream Coaching requires a deep respect for people.
Our responses are persistently and phenomenally positive. People resolve unpleasant
recurring dreams while making "dreaming" a wonderful activity.
(Dream Coaching is integrated into Soulwork Systemic Coaching.)
Dreamscape & Nightmares
Rather than "intuition"
or guessing, when a person asks for help, we may
dream with that person - respectfully entering that person's
dreamscape, with the intention of together understanding the often-confused
imagery, while offering possibilities for integrating sub-personalities,
dissolving relationship bonds or remedying unresolved trauma or PTSD that
is expressed in dreams.
Systemic dream coaching provides a simple introduction to a rather complex
topic and offers lasting solutions for unpleasant dreams and recurring nightmares.
Dream Coaching
Entering your dream can be like entering Pandora's
Box. Neither you nor I know what to expect in your dream. Forget those
books of interpretations of dream symbols.
We often find that an event or symbol in your dream has
more than one message or a different message than the "obvious".
Dream Coaching is no place for arrogance!
Maybe you are simply curious about an unusual, repetitive or well
remembered dream. If you have strong unpleasant
emotions or if you have recurring dreams of misery, death or hideous
monsters - perhaps contact a trained and experienced systemic coach.
Lucid dreaming within a disturbed person's nightmare can be traumatic for the
unskilled.
Dreamwork Case History
While teaching a class on
"Dreamwork" at a university in Las Vegas, a female student asked to be a
demonstration subject. She reported a recurrent dream of being chased by a vampire.
During our lucid dream, instead of her running away in terror, we stood together,
and chatted with the vampire. The vampire explained that he was a "keeper of
power", and as the woman would not accept her own power, he followed her.
The vampire offered the woman his cloak - jet-black with bright red
trim. She put on the cloak and felt immediately resourceful. She said
that never before had she felt so powerful. The now-friendly vampire offered deep advice about the woman's lifestyle.
In the following week, the woman reported that she could easily access
and maintain her powerful state. She soon made a series of beneficial
changes in her family and personal relationships.
