Ah, the power of dream alchemy! Here’s an update from Kate who was my guest in podcast Episode 39 of The Dream Show.
You may remember that Kate dreamed she was a passenger on a cartoon-like plane, wondering whether to have cartoon gin with her cartoon tonic. (Listen to Kate and I discussing her dream: episode 39.)
After interpreting the dream I gave Kate a dream alchemy practice to do to reprogram her unconscious mind to clear the block the dream revealed. As Kate had said she found visualisations difficult, I created an artwork alchemy practice.
Two weeks after recording the podcast, Kate reported:
“The experience of having my dream interpreted was a lot of fun but it was also very meaningful. The ‘gin in the tonic’ motif has for me become a reminder to add the joy to life.
I mentioned I felt blocked and this has shifted somewhat. I thought the idea of an alchemy where I got to make something was a great idea as I am probably more kinesthetic. I started the alchemy, which is a branch painted red, a bird’s nest in it, and a few flying gin bottles hanging off the branches.
I haven’t finished it yet but I have done quite a few other things. I have made a kayak, a gate, started going to the gym and started doing quite a few fun things like going fishing and going to the beach more.
I think the block has to do with allowing myself to have fun and allowing myself to be exactly as I am. Ironically adding the ‘Gin to the Tonic’ in life seems to have resulted in me drinking less alcohol but not becoming a wowser … never!!!
I have not started my new job yet but I have met the team and they are a fun group so I am looking forward to it.
Thanks for sharing your profound gift with others so generously.” – Kate, episode 39.
