There was a period where the subconscious. processing that happened in my dreams carried my waking life work forward.
it actually started with my clients, having really vivid, symbolic and informative dreams based on the Hypnotherapy work we were doing and the conscious effort they were putting into the Coaching side of what I do. This was a project where I literally started with discovering their baseline in terms of several Meta-traits (based off of an idea, inspired by the video game fallout 3 and the character stats for agility, endurance, intelligence charisma, etc) I created an inventory for them to score their current proficiency for 42 sub-traits supporting the seven Meta-traits. From there, it was the deep work weekly coaching sessions, and a retest.
One of my Client experiences reality in this very difference way doesn't emotionally experience things, but actually he experienced things in terms of systems of rules and definitions creating a model of the world and how it works living inside his brain. As you can imagine, typical regression, Hypnotherapy does not work on someone like that because they cannot pull scenes from their memory and experience the motions of them in order to make sense or whatever they're trying to work on.. he was the first to start having dreams that would respond to the Hypnotherapy and then all of a sudden everybody and I was working with at the time story dreams and people were in each other's dreams. It was very interesting to say the least..
I decided to join them and start doing Hypnotherapy on myself because I had some things I wanted to improve and then that's when the dreaming totally took over.
Ever since I've leaned on my dreams significantly, especially if the day-to-day life was stressful the whole caregiving multiple generations of family members coordinating the hiccups of waking life while also trying to do a lot of really important deep work been juggling writing a book about the program and all the stuff I learned about dreams which involved lots of research I've tried to maintain a consistent output on my YouTube channel of videos a lot of which is related to the new developments with my work and then all the extra insight that comes from experiencing a massive identity upgrade what the integration phase was like for me personally deciphering my dreams to help me map the process out that I just went through and then everything else on top of that my skool community being created in January, which inspires me to do even more interesting work like creating a way to understand your cognitive architecture, more cleanly (my reality lens inventory) And with a growing number of people providing data for everything. I'm starting to see other connections and building framework for those things..
So in addition to time going faster, I've literally been doing probably five times the amount of work that I was doing back in December mostly because I made it to the other side of my identity upgrade and my mind has opened up and is able to handle even more complexity and create connections that didn't exist before (or they weren't obvious to me until now).
If someone had told last November that I would've figured out how to work in my sleep and not only that I would be five times more effective while my life was almost pretty much on fire for the most part on and off since Thanksgiving with all kinds of technical issues and family stuff, I would've never believed them.
It took me a few months to not be so hard on myself, considering how much worker actually do get done, but it's also my nature to keep going exploring expanding. My curiosity is endless when it comes to how the mind works, how people experience reality and coming up with the best ways to discover once resources and put that in service of what makes your life, meaningful and joyful..
That's kind of the whole point of my life and the YouTube channel and my skool community are just ways in which I move the needle forward.
The reason I bring all this up is I'm always curious about the dream side of life for people and how they experience it and if anyone has a natural interpretation ritual or if anyone ask questions before they go to sleep, and then wake up with the answer things like that fascinate me.
I suppose my first question is:
1) do you remember your dreams? Occasionally or more consistently?
2) have you ever found the answer to a question in your dreams?
3) if you have nightmares, do they repeat?
I have a couple clients. I'm working on something special in terms of nightmares and memory reconsolidation that's really fascinating, but I don't have enough data to really speak on it yet. I used to do a lot of therapy for PTSD and well-versed in trauma informed practices... so I'm weaving that experience in with the nightmare work and getting decent results for a handful of clients that are on this special project.,
Basically anything to do with a the inner workings of the subconscious mind and how it augments our conscious processes falls under my specialty.
dreams are so powerful.
