Читать книгу Active Dreaming - Robert Moss A. - Страница 40

Are you running away from something in your dreams? Ask yourself when you tend to run away from something — a person, an issue, a necessary conversation — in regular life.

Does your dream self have supernormal powers? Can she fly or knock villains down like ninepins? If so, then ask yourself where you might be able to draw on her courage and powers in the rest of your life.

Comparing the behavior of the dream self and that of the waking self is highly instructive. We may also find that bringing gifts and qualities from one realm into the other can be tremendously healing and empowering. My waking self may be able to bring courage — the determination to brave up to a challenge — to a dream self that is frightened or frozen.

My dream self who is fluent in another language, or can breathe underwater, may be able to give me the power to expand my vocabulary of understanding or to operate with ease in a new environment.
