A lucid dream is any dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming. I've kept a dream book, off and on, for a few years now and believe in the validity of quantum physics and creative visualization as they relate to lucid dreaming. There's a lot of research published on the web with regards to the thought process during what we often refer to as "daydreaming". Thoughts are energy and have the power to affect our environment, our world. How was Rome built? Somebody had the idea. A better question: How did shopping centers/malls/outlets come about? Some phenomenal genius who truly understood women had the idea!
My first dream book was not a book at all. It was merely a list of things I wanted to accomplish, written down in a career-planning seminar at the fashion institute I attended. I still remember every item on that list. 1/Work in a small company to get an overview of business. 2/Work in a big company. 3/Work for a famous company. 4/Have my own company. I put this list away and found it years later, dumbfounded to see that the entire list had manifested without any conscious effort on my part.
The next list was made before I accepted a job transfer to Mexico. 1/ Get married. 2/Have my own business. 3/Be famous. Again...mission accomplished...in Mexico. And, again, without much effort on working towards those goals. I didn't even have a boyfriend when I moved to Mexico and, yes, I'm still married to the same man. The business had long since folded. And I did become famous, albeit in a small town. Seeing how easy it really is to manifest goals, I set about creating the proper dream book. I found an absolutely beautiful embroidered cloth-bound notebook at Anthropologie. Oh, I could wax poetic over this store for days...for weeks!!! I started my inspired writings in the early Spring of 2011. I wanted so many things...I wished for a million things. I wished for one very important goal that seemed to be so distant, so unattainable. To be a mother. I had no idea that I would be a mother X 3. More on this later...and, no, they are not triplets. An idea, spoken words...then committing it to paper. Such is the power of the written word. I hope these stories have been inspiring. As many friends and co-workers can attest, I am constantly spouting bits and pieces of my own personal experiences with lucid dreaming. We all have that potential to create our own realities, to design the life we desire, to achieve the goals that will enhance our time here on our lovely earth. We are all supernatural beings deserving of having every heart's desire. The one important rule I remind myself to follow is that I need to be specific. I once was so obsessed with getting an afro. I thought it would be so cool and would sit on my head fabulously and look a lot better than my own straight, damaged locks. Well, the universe sent me an afro indeed. But, it was on somebody else's head. Nevertheless, I had the pleasure of watching that afro for about a week while he repaired lighting in our building at work. I can also remember asking my husband for a Louis Vuitton luggage. He found one, serendipitously, at a flea market. Alas, it was a garment bag style and not the style I had in mind. Anyway, who's complaining? It was the real deal, lol! Be careful what you ask for, you ALWAYS get it. And don't forget to be specific.
