Dream Yourself Awake

Remember your dreams. Remember WHO you are. Remember WHY you are. Remember what you want and why you came here. - A Channeled Message

We all have dreams locked inside us that are waiting to be birthed. 

A dream of more peace.

A dream of having more passion and purpose and meaning in your life. 

A dream of a loving family and a safe place to call home. 

A dream of creating more meaningful connections, more authentic friendships. 

A dream of a life filled with more joy, more play, more fun, more magic.

A dream of loving yourself more deeply, fully, unconditionally. 

A dream of creating a new business where you get to be the boss, have more freedom, more flexibility about how you spend your time. 

A dream of finding a loving partner. 

A dream of freedom.  

A dream of _____.  Let your heart  fill in the blank. 

My dream of living in Costa Rica became a reality in 2023.

Sometimes we unconsciously wait for these dreams to be birthed by themselves, for the stork to drop off our precious dreams while we’re sleeping…while we’re busy at work (doing busy work), doing jobs that do not fulfill us…while we’re scrolling through social media, watching other people's lives unfold…while we retain, maintain, prop up old patterns, loops, worn out beliefs, systems, habits, relationships, environments, and jobs that do not uplift, enliven, and nourish us. 

There comes a day, however, when something triggers a remembrance of our precious dreams. The wake up call starts out as a gentle hum and keeps growing until it is a three-alarm fire. There comes a day when it becomes more uncomfortable, more difficult or nearly impossible to continue settling and sleepwalking through life. There comes a time, if you’re lucky, when it becomes harder to continue to pretend that you’re satisfied with the status quo than it is to take a risk, to take the leap, to invest in yourself, to reach for your dreams. Perhaps today is that day. You found this message for a reason. This is your sign. This is your season. This is your wake up call. The call of the wild. The call of the wise. See this as a reminder from your higher self, your future self, from your inner child: 

Your dreams matter. You matter. Now is the time.  

Let me help you find the magic that lives within the seemingly mundane, within every moment, woven into the fabric of this existence. This magic, this spark, this passion, this love of life lives within each one of us. Even when it seems to have been extinguished, this spark always exists. We can always reach for it, fan it, believe in it, become it, birth it, spread it. This flame. This light. This love. 

Each dream begins with a desire, an idea, a vision, a wish, an intention. To birth this dream into reality, to bring it to life, requires a belief that it’s possible…a belief that it’s worth the effort to go after, to walk through the fire…a belief that you’re worth the investment it takes to make it happen. Each dream requires certain choices: to choose what you want, to choose what you deserve, to choose love, freedom, joy, adventure, newness over comfort, over stagnation, over a false sense of stability and security based on money or status or the status quo, which actually erodes your sense of peace and well-being in the end. It starts with self-love.

Are you worth it? Is it worth it? This dream of yours? Does it have value to you?  What would you do for it? How much would you pay? What would you sacrifice, how hard would you work to realize your dreams if you knew that they were actually possible, achievable, believable? How much would you give? What you give up? What would you do to be able to fully love yourself, to live a life full of passion, peace, meaning, joy, creativity, community, connection, freedom?  

What do you want more of? Why are you settling for less? What are you holding on to that no longer serves you? Why are you worried about sacrificing, letting go of a partner, a job, an idea, a life plan, a limiting belief that you don’t find satisfying, fulfilling, nourishing? That you don’t really want anyway? The choice is always yours. These are the questions we will explore in our work as we take the long walk to freedom side by side, arm in arm with the many others who are waking up right now, who are also looking for support.

Dreams are not birthed in isolation. Dreams require encouragement, shared vision, connection, community, commitment, a chrysalis, a sangha, a sisterhood, a safe, sacred place to grow in. A garden. Dreams are like tiny seeds, like fragile sprouts. They require nurturing.They need to be cared for, watered regularly, fed frequently, or they die fast and early. 

Let me, let someone, help you cut through the false narratives that you can’t fulfill your dreams, that you can’t create the life you want, that you can’t love yourself consistently, unconditionally, all ways. Let me help you cut through the false belief that you’re not strong enough, not courageous enough, not young enough, not special enough, not supported enough, not worthy enough to get what you want and so desperately need. And truly deserve. 

My dreams in vision board format.

Dreaming is spiritual work. Each dream is part of your plan. And each dream has a plan of its own, a code, like DNA, within it. Like an acorn becoming an oak, these little dreams are bigger than you could imagine. They’re not just about you. They just come through you. You are the instrument - the goddess playing, orchestrating life through you. Imagine the acorn dreaming of becoming a large old oak so that she can be strong and big and beautiful and have everyone admire her instead of stepping on her, ignoring her, tossing her aside. or worse yet, eating her up before she can achieve greatness. And yet her purpose is bigger than these self-centered desires. It’s not just about the acorn and what she wants, for in the end, she will be dissolved in the making of the oak, like the caterpillar in the making of the butterfly. She will feed the growth, provide the code, start the process that will eventually become the oak but she will no longer be in existence when oak is fully realized. 

Trust the process. It’s normal to see your shadow parts, to feel the resistance, the self-limiting beliefs as you reach for your dream. Have faith that these old worn out ideas of yourself will be composted, used as fodder for your growth. Have faith that you never have to accomplish your dreams alone. You will always be supported. You need only ask for help. Allow your dreams to be known. Others will be drawn to it, feel the beauty in it.

Do not doubt your dreams, my love. Your dreams are much bigger than you can imagine with your limited understanding and knowledge of how the universe works. It is the difference between an acorn and an oak. Do not doubt their significance, how much they will benefit you and this world…how much they will cost you if they go unrealized. Know that they will have a ripple effect, a wide reach, spanning across the globe, across generations, across centuries.

This dream of creating more love for yourself, your family, your world…this dream of waking up, of tapping into your internal wisdom, your eternal nature… is not nothing, honey. It’s everything. It’s the whole shebang, the entrée in life, the main point of this game. Of course it’s important. Of course, others will want to help, to be a part of it, whatever you’re creating from this place of love.

Love you.

“Though we seem to be sleeping, there is an inner wakefulness that directs the dream, and that will eventually startle us back to the truth of who we are.” -Rumi
