The fact that dreams "don't make sense" is often the reason people have grown a habit of forgetting instead of remembering. Most of us are used to a switch that is either on/off, awake/asleep... but dreams are not supposed to make sense to the rational mind. It's not their nature. They are non linear, irrational and multidimensional... all qualities that the waking executive function of the ego consciousness doesn't like. So we learn to forget.

One of our first tasks as dreamers is to learn to linger at the threshold of the dream door... with one foot in the realm of dream and one in the realm of awake. In this episode we flush out what Jeremy Taylor meant when he said "no dream comes to tell you what you already know, all dreams break new ground in terms of conscious awareness."

We explore how in those first few moments of awakening we might retrain our minds to tug the threads ofd reams across the dream door. The job of waking mind is to be "the scribe of dreams" - all we are doing is being in receptive catching mode. Dreams come from... everywhere and everyone else we are OTHER than exactly who we know ourselves to be when we are awake. We are always emerging into somewhere, growing in some direction. Dreams are an INCREDIBLE guide, oracle, arrow to where we are being called next and what it is that we are being called to do. Remember that the symbols in your dream are perfectly tailored, perfectly crafted for you, by you, to help you. The more random a dream symbol the more potentially transformative the symbol may be.
