A few people responded to the past videos and asked, “What does it mean that love and consciousness are in the dream?” They might feel this in their dream sessions, but not always when looking at their own dreams. Today, I explore how dreams open up consciousness and love when we meet them with a certain kind of presence, not from an alienated or dissociated place, but by being in conversation with them.

Our culture teaches us to consume love, but dreams don’t work that way. “We have to bring some consciousness, bring some love to the relationship,” approaching our dreams with openness is what changes everything. Even with nightmares and trauma dreams, there is often “a cry for help…a way to be with that pain or fear with tenderness.” .

The process begins with “Taking a breath and saying, ‘Okay, let’s talk.’ Asking with openness: What is being shown to me here from a place of love?” Stay with that question. Even if nothing comes up, “be with the not knowing.” This practice of presence will transform how you relate to yourself and your dreams.

This video is part of a series on how to work with your dreams, starting with the mindset shift I introduced in the last two videos. If you need help, feel free to share a dream or a moment from your dream, and I’ll offer prompts in a future video.
