DAY 26
ASK YOUR DREAMS FOR MONEY-MAKING IDEAS
If you generally ignore your dreams, as most of us do, you are wasting one of the most powerful resources you have access to. Your dreams are the vital link between your conscious experience and your subconscious desires and goals. Dreams are not random misfirings of your neurons while you sleep. Dreams are your connection to the psychological web that connects you to all other humans. Dreams connect us to what Carl Jung called the collective consciousness of our race, and this power of our dreams can teach us all that is truly important about our lives.
Modern science teaches us that we use only 15 percent of our brains. It is more accurate to state that we use 15 percent of our brains for all of the physically verifiable processes of our bodies that science can measure. It takes only 15 percent of your brain power to operate within physical reality. The other 85 percent of your brain, by far the greater portion, is involved in all of those things which reductionist science cannot measure: your creativity, your emotions, your dreams. The truth of your life is that only a small fraction of your brain power is used in actual practical dealings with the physical world. The majority of your psychological power is engaged in drawing your experiences to you, in subtle psychological interactions with the people you meet or wish to meet, and in experiencing ramifications of future events on a psychological level before you decide to live them out in reality.
Most of this work is done in your dreams. While you sleep, you literally act out your wishes, hopes and fears with other people on a basic emotional level, and from these experiments choose which physical events to experience in your life. This is awesome power, and I urge you to take hold of it today.
Pay attention not only to your dreams, but also to the inner voice that knows what you should do. Pay attention to ideas, motivation and help. Trust your instincts.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I HAVE FAITH IN THE INTELLIGENCE OF MY INSTINCTS AND MY DREAMS. I WILL REMEMBER MY DREAMS, AND I WILL BE AWARE FOR ANY KNOWLEDGE GIVEN TO ME IN MY DREAMS.
TAKE ACTION: Right now, decide that you will pay attention not only to your dreams, but also to your intuition. Tonight, keep your prosperity journal next to your bed and tell yourself that you want to remember your dreams. You may even want to ask your subconscious mind to bring a money-making idea into your dreams. Tomorrow morning, write down your dreams and see if you can learn something from them. Look at the events in your dreams symbolically, not literally, and you may be quite surprised by the wisdom you find.
“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
Carl Jung
