Dream Healing
When I first moved to Nevada City, just over 8 years ago, I had my first "big dream". I was 27 years old, and a few months before I had sold everything I owned, quit my job, and set off on a spiritual quest to remember who I am.
At that time I was living on a cannabis property deep in the Sierra's on a 100-acre parcel. I was surrounded by thousands of acres of trees, and thousands more cannabis plants. We were living very simply -- everything I owned fit into the back of my 2006 Subaru. It was a challenging but transformational time.
I will always remember the night that dream came. I was cozy, sleeping soundly in our tiny airstream trailer tucked away in the woods, when a woman came to me. She was bathed in a whitish-blue light, her long white hair parted down the middle and flowing free on either side. I could only see the top part of her body, from about the shoulders up. She was older, at least in her 60's or 70's, and her face showed her wisdom and compassion.
She was teaching me something...specifically, she was teaching me how to learn about people by listening to the vibration of their voice. Her instruction was clear, and she taught me through showing me how to listen to the vibration. It was a moment of dream education, a metaphysical lesson from the Gods. I remember feeling like I understood the lesson.
Since then, I have always wondered what to make of this experience. Would I someday remember how to diagnose through voice alone? Was I meant to study a specific modality?
I am yet to find the answer to the mystery of this dream, but in the meantime, I have developed a deep love for the dream time.
I began recording my dreams a couple years after this initial experience, I remember clearly that it was winter solstice the year I had turned 30 -- almost exactly 6 years ago. I remember the dreams from that time as well. I had my first experience then of "dreaming true", where I dreamed something that happened in real life shortly thereafter.
The past couple years I have begun to dive deeper into my ancestral relationship to dreaming, specifically the Askelepion Dream Healing techniques. I have experienced my own dream healings, instructions, prophetic dreams, and dream disasters that I have *hopefully* avoided in real life. This journey has been profound, exciting, and let's be honest, very restful.
