Images in our daily lives and dreams

Images…symbols…dreams…thinking about all of these topics, here is an exercise I try to do daily.  Follow the steps and add your images, symbols and dreams as a comment!

1.  Upon waking, list all of the “images” you can remember from your dreams.
2.  Look up the images…you can use this link on-line,
http://dreammoods.com/cgibin/searchcsv.pl?method=exact&header=dreamsymbol&search=shower or find a book on dream analysis.
3.  When going through your day, see where (or if) these images show up in your daily life.  Or, do you remember seeing these images in the past few days?

Here is mine from this morning:

Image:  shower
Analysis:  Shower:  To dream that you are taking a shower in clear, fresh water, denotes spiritual or physical renewal or the need to wash a burden out of your life. It is also symbolic of forgiveness.
Daily life:  Saw the shower in the morning….looked closely at the shower head and wondered about the water coming forth from it…is this water cleansing?  Do I feel a renewed sense of clarity?  What if the shower head looked different?…

Looking forward to your responses!

 

 

Exploring

Taking some time to look at some interesting artists on YouTube.  Check out the links and explore.  Do you ever take time to just look up different subjects on YouTube and see where it leads?

Mandala

MandalaIt is wonderful to create a mandala.  It can also be meditative to sit and color a mandala that has been created by another.

 Here is a site where you can print a mandala of your choice, or color on-line.

Creativity

Trying out a blog to focus on creativity in our everyday lives.  In this blog I would like to ask you questions, find ways to put creativity into our daily lives and share ideas.

First question…What metaphors would you use to describe your life as it is right now?
