Now that we're well into Fall in the Northern Hemisphere, you probably notice that some trees have lost their leaves well before the others. It's a time of change and rest but for some it can be a time of vulnerability. Like a naked in public dream, do bare trees leave (or should I say "leaf"?) you feeling exposed? Do you shed your leaves well before the others? Your pace in life is your own. Don't worry about fitting into someone else's schedule, just be yourself. Your dreams will tell you when you need a change or a rest. Just ask them to give you information on what you need for body-mind-and spirt balance.

What do falling leaves make you think of: change or death...or something else? Sometimes Fall feels like a new beginning. Actually, Fall is the transition to Winter, the end of the growth cycles in nature and for many, it can be likened to death... which many people don't want to think about. Yet the vibrant colours of autumn make us feel so alive and present to the changes that it's a paradox. Love or hate Fall, these transitional times and changes are mirrors for our own interior world. In Western culture, we are taught to go, go, go! Then we wonder why we feel tired all the time and burned out. Stress, fatigue and constant activity can impact our dreams and the ability to catch them. Consider allowing yourself to rest or slow down as the season changes over to the coming winter. It may just allow for the rejuvenation that your spirit needs. Your dreams will thank you!

Does your alarm clock make you forget your dreams in the morning? ⏰

Before bed, set your intention to remember your dreams. Put a pen and paper on your night stand, and spend 2 minutes after that alarm goes off to write your dreams down. Soon you’ll be an expert dream-catcher :)

Sweet dreams!

Remembering a dream is a gift 🎁; a gift direct from your psyche/soul to your conscious self. To show gratitude for this gift of remembering, we need only do one thing - write it down! 📝 The details of the dream will fade and without writing it down, we can lose them in a flash.

Another plus to writing your dream down and having many dreams in one place, is you can begin to see patterns...patterns that are lost in time without writing them down. And those dream details and patterns are the way in; the way to self-awareness. Know thyself, eh?
