Dreaming and the dream time are important aspects and concepts for the Aboriginal Peoples of Australia and the Native Americans. Both peoples have tools and skills based on their beliefs and practices of dreaming. In fact the art of dreaming is a key foundation stone to their lives.
Dreams are understood to offer practical and spiritual guidance and the indigenous people work with dream lines, dream songs, dream tracks, portals, sites, locations, rituals and ceremonies. In Iroquois villages the children were brought up to remember their dreams, as the first business of the day was dream sharing. Everyone would gather and share the past nights dreams, as they knew these dreams contained guidance for the whole community.
The first part of this workshop will be an overview of the indigenous perspective of dreaming and dreams and how dreams can potentially offer us insights into our own lives. Theories say that dreaming allows us to process information, better understand our emotions, deal with everyday issues and even offer solutions to challenges we are facing. So, working with our dreams can be valuable and beneficial to us.
“All states are dream states” believe the Native Americans. So, whether you remember your dreams or not, you will be pleased to know that there are other levels of consciousness that offer you gateways to dreaming; such as day dreaming and conscious dreaming.
In the second part of the workshop we will look at different dream states and types of dreams. Then, discover the Dream Wheel and its components so you can create your own wheel and learn to use it as a navigational tool in the dream world to receive messages that can guide your life.
