Dreams and the Secret Power of Lists



Some emails I have received from you have spoken about changes in the dreams you have experienced since starting lists.  In fact I had a few people who mentioned the same thing at some of the radio phone-ins I had in Australia.

Let me start by saying that this is totally normal and is a natural consequence of doing lists, as the lists will awaken you spiritually and thus will be reflected in your dreams.  What will be useful is if you start to keep a dream journal, so you are able to record your dreams, and later be able to think about them and try and possibly interpret them.  For some the dreams will provide a perfect pathway to assist with whatever you are wanting to obtain when doing the lists.  For others the dreams may be more cryptic and require a lot more thought and consideration to understand what they may mean.  An example of a cryptic dream is that from Mrs. Saunder.  She was having recurring dreams of a particular teenage girl who seem to appear in a lot of different dreams and sometimes she did not appear to have any place in the dream itself.  It was if she had wandered in upon the dream.  Mrs Saunders told me she felt like she knew the girl as if she knew everything about her just the same as if it were a close friend.  Mrs Saunders also stated she had a few erotic encounters with this girl and she had since noticed an increase in her libido in her normal waking life.  She could not understand who the girl was. And neither could she relate this girl to the list she was writing (which was a health list). 
After spending some more time with Mrs.Saunders I was able to gain some background to her life and it then became more clearer to me that the dream itself was a response to her need to have better health.  The girl represented her inner healer.  Dreams are often said to be a channel for inner repressed energies to express themselves.  The girls manifestation in the dreams signified a healing process was taking place for whatever that dream was expressing.   The erotic encounters related to Mrs Saunders married life- she was always a conservative person and had been brought up to think that sex was dirty and something that had to be reluctantly done to produce children.  She had never had much enjoyment or much interest in this side of her married life.  Again a healing was taking place to expunge the internalised feelings regarding sex and subsequently she was experiencing an explosion of her libido in response to the healing.
So for everyone who are experiencing a change in dreams after starting a list- keep a dream journal and do take some time to investigate the meanings behind them.
