Dream-Connecting: Creating New Stories in Vibrational Reality
Dream-Connecting Practices
Dream-connecting is the Earth Spirit Dreaming gateway to the spirit realms — the final step on the path to reconnecting with the spirit helpers of this planet and beyond. At this pivotal time in human history, the spirit helpers of Earth, our ancestors in the spirit realms and what we might call “angels,” are waiting for us to ask for help. They are ready to show us the way to re-illuminate our lives and to bring us into alignment with the original dream of Gaia. These spirit helpers surround our planet, attempting in every moment to break through the weight and heaviness that surrounds us, created by the beliefs and thought patterns that smother our minds in heavy padding. As our spirit helpers reach out to us, it is as if we are wrapped in blankets, unable to feel them; wearing blindfolds, unable to see the path that they are showing; our ears stuffed with cotton, unable to hear their guidance and wisdom. It is time to enliven our spiritual sensitivities and to access the vibrational frequencies needed to communicate with our spirit helpers. The Earth Spirit Dreaming practices all lead to this pivotal task of dreaming our way back to our spirit helpers, our ancestors, the elemental nature spirits and the Divine Spirit of the Universe; now is the time to reconnect fully with our genetic inheritance of embodied spiritual realization.
This chapter begins the journey toward the culmination of the two previous parts of the Earth Spirit Dreaming method. Dreaming practices guide readers to bring forth the Earth and Spirit intelligence that is now available through newly opened natural senses. From this doorway of dawning awareness, dream-connecting rituals help us enter the symbolic and imaginal realms of experience. Dreaming, in the context of this method, can be understood as a form of visioning and co-creating the world. Through the dream-connecting practices, we relate to the imaginal realms in ways that are often limited by a focus on conceptual thinking. Through conscious dreaming, we shift our lives and the world from a state of clarity that comes from our grounding in our own embeddedness within in the Earth community. Through this process, we rediscover the mystery and deep magic surrounding us in every moment of life.
