Part I: What's a "Dream Vision" and Why Would I Want One?
The Song of the Magical Mirror
A dream vision is your picture of your heart’s deepest sense of the
best you, living as fully, with as much depth, satisfaction,
gratitude and joy as you can possibly live. And discovering it is,
at its core, a spiritual journey that leads you down the corridors
of your inner being, guided by ever-increasing light as
step-by-step, you move toward the center of who you truly are.
To lure you onto the path, to tempt you to make the adventure, some
will tell you that the streets ahead are paved with gold and lined
with trees that will rain great fortunes on you as you go. And I
cannot deny that. For some the gold will be literal, and the
fortunes measured in material wealth. For others the gold will have
a worth that cannot be traded in the market place, nor lost there.
And the treasures will be those that permeate the memory with the
song of one’s very soul.
I’m speaking to you in this poetic voice because the adventure is
one drenched in beauty and significance. It’s the path of high
passion, of reaching for the heavens, for the ultimate prize. It’s path of discovering the truest reality, the deepest connections,
the clearest visions of truth.
And yet, for all of that, it begins with ordinary you—just as you
are, right now, reading this page. It begins with curiosity, or with
a wisp of longing. Something inside you is dropping little hints
that a potential is pushing for expression, that you have more to
see and to experience and to know than you are seeing and knowing
right now. It’s almost like the feeling of searching for a word you
want to say, one you will recognize the instant it pops into your
head. It’s right there, itching for you to speak it, to give it
shape and send it forth on wings of sound.
Your dream vision begins with trying out the words that occur to you
as you explore your desires: Healthy; Wealthy; Loving; Loved; Happy;
Grateful; Peaceful; Wise. Then you flesh them out with whatever images they
evoke and speak them through the actions of your life. And the
magical mirror that is life reflects back to you what you have
created.
In truth, everyone is creating his or her own reflection in the
magical mirror all the time. Those who choose to form dream visions
are the ones who create their reflections intentionally. Instead of
unconsciously repeating automatic stories that were haphazardly
programmed into their mind-patterns, they decide to orchestrate
patterns of their own conscious choosing.
Stepping beyond the automatic patterns is a bit like learning a new
language. It takes practice to form the words just right, to instill
them with enough power to produce the effects you desire. The pages
here are meant to guide you in shaping and empowering them, and to
encourage you as discover the nuances.
The path of intentional creation is an experimental and experiential
one. Yours, composed as it is of your unique set of values,
strengths and desires, will be unlike any other. And yet the
principles for creating it are both ancient and universal. You will
meet with great challenges to try your faith, your courage and your
determination. You will taste disappointment and discouragement, and
sometimes you will grow weary. But you will gain at every turn—even
when your efforts produce what appears at first as failure—for this
is a sacred path. It’s the path that leads you to the Source of all
that is. It’s a path strewn with unspeakable wonders and washed with
amazing grace. And in the end, you become the path and know that its
nature is Love.
10 Reasons for Creating a
Dream Vision
1. As you learn to make conscious choices that are grounded in how
you wish to express yourself in the world,
your life becomes your own. You increasingly choose to dance
to your own music.
2. As you gain greater clarity about your strengths and desires,
you discover an increasing range of
possibilities and a greater willingness to act on them.
3. Guided by your vision, your thoughts and actions become more
congruent, reducing stress and promoting a
greater sense of inner peace and well-being.
4. Because your dream vision cultivates the use of your talents,
your skill and artfulness increase.
5. As you learn to make choices in harmony with your vision,
your intuition is honed, increasing
your perception of beneficial synchronicities: “Good luck” happens
with increasing frequency.
6. Because your dream vision gives you direction and purpose, your
life becomes more meaningful and satisfying.
7. Because listening to your dream vision requires great honesty
with yourself, you act with greater personal
integrity in all you do.
8. As you bring more and more of your dream vision to life, you
develop greater trust in yourself, greater
self-appreciation and respect.
9. Increased self-appreciation and respect for your own
individuality generates increasing
appreciation and respect for others. Friendships deepen and
all your personal relationships grow in beauty.
10. Because living your heart’s true dream is
the ultimate adventure, and leads you to the Source of greatest
satisfaction, peace, happiness, love and truth . . . starting
just where you are, as you are, right now.
