Here's what the Pines Dream Sharers and I culled from that dream: The major insight for me was that everyone is a chosen one and that the only thing that makes it seem like only a few are chosen is that most people are not consciously aware that they are chosen. That's the key. And who turns the key in a lock? None other than The Child in us. Another remnant from my meager biblical remembrances comes to mind ... 11 Be Ye as little Children in order to enter the kingdom of Heaven." This dream has children playing by the water in ways that I did as a child, which reminds me of my first gnostic experience. I was seven years old, living in Montrose, Scotland by the sea. I'd often go alone and sit on my special rock near the ocean and this time, as I gazed aimlessly into the horizon as usuaC something was very different. Another awareness came over me and I knew the working of the whole Universe; understood everything and felt tremendously loved and cozy. I never told anyone about this experience till I was in my thirties, yet I never forgot the feeling. There was no ego involved and I had no explanation ~

whatsoever until well into my adult life, when I started ~- exploring metaphysics. ~ In the dream, 1 have to 'jump a bit/ telling me that l a small leap of faith is required by me ... not a big leap, ~

because I've taken the steps required along the way to ~ get to this point. However, I need to totally trust Jesus / J' The Christ inside of me. 1 And then there's the SNAKE on the log for which I I · · · · · 1 have great respect. This feels like my Kundalini Energy which will no doubt be further activated in a positive manner to the degree that I trust my new Personal Jesus. Maybe I'll call ' my' Jesus 'P' Jesus, since he likes levity. Most peo­ ple have the Pee-Jesus shocked out of them, whereas I have had P. Jesus shocked into me. OK dreams, you've done your job well. You've guided me through the mire of my illusion and suffer­ ing; out of the alley of my garbage; through the primal mud and shadow stuff to the wild, untamed innocence and fun of Child Wisdom, which is THE KEY to attain­ ing the Kingdom of Heaven within. Lest I get a 'big head' by thinking I'm now and forevermore a being of the Light Jesus has the final Cosmic Chuckle by having this last dream message end where it begins and begin where it ends, suggest­ ing that all is cyclical and never-ending. No doubt this ploy is designed to keep us on our spiritual toes, refin­ ing our lives in the process. So, let the Spiral Dance continue- ever upward! p

We dreamed that we held great councils, that we passed the l New Moon Ceremony for the Earth talking stick and came to consensus decisions that improved the life of everyone and everything. And when we awoke, - we knew in our hearts that these councils, and these decisions, were true and holy. And we began to put them into effect. Peace and tolerance spread among us. We learned to dance in harmony with all the different ways of seeing the world, with all the different stories of how things came to be, with all the different ways of honoring Spirit, with all the different ways of governing, of educating our young, of caring for our ill, our poor and our old. It was then decided in Dream Council that I was to lead our band of dreamers and teachers across the seas and skies of our Earth. We moved from hemisphere to hemisphere, continent to continent, country to country, village to village. Everywhere we went we told stories tuned to that piece of the Earth, to those people we were with at the time.

A STORY By Prudence See

There was once a very poor peasant who was filled with desire to serve the king. "I have nothing to offer him," he said to himself, "but more than anything I want to spend my entire life in his court serving him." It happened that the king was riding through the desert with a vast retinue of servants and the peasant approached and threw himself face down in the sand before him. "Who is this man?" asked the king of his servants. "He is only a poor peasant who simply wants to serve you," they replied.

"What have you to offer me?~'asked the king. "No one can be my servant without having something special to offer me." But the poor peasant did not answer. He did not know what he could possibly have that would be special enough to offer the king. "I am continuing on my journey," said the king, "but my servants at the end of my train will test you. If you can answer them correctly, you can join the court." So the poor peasant remained prostrate in the sand until the vast train of the court had nearly passed by. The sun set and a full moon rose slowly above the desert sands. At last, a servant approached him. "Now tell us what special gift you can offer the king," he asked. The peasant, whose forehead had remained bowed to the grourid all this time, replied: "0 noble servant, I will offer to tell the king the sound of the moonlight touching the desert sand." The king's servant went away to consult with the other servants. It became very dark as the Moon slid behind a cloud. Finally, the king' s servant returned. As he approached in the darkness, he saw a flame that seem­ ed to emerge from the crown of the peasant's head and cast a silvery glow all around him as he knelt. "Rise up and join us," said the king's servant, "for your ears have heard and without need of words you can give to the king the Song of the Moon." p

[[))rrre rm m1fl ~ & lB (())ril iire ~ by Catherine Knapp Dream s and bodies work and play well together. Both have been designated caretakers of whatever material consciousness does not want to touch. It's as if dream expressions and body communications are exploring the same undercurrents of our lives, from different perspectives. Working with both simultaneously opens new dimensions of process work. Following are some personal dream­ body experiences. A Dream Interprets Body Communication I wake up, my body filled with tension. Drifting back to sleep, I ask dreams about this tension. 1follaw two people down a steep walkway to a beautiful lake surrounded by steep pine-coz>eredhills. The beauty here

causes me to open up and relax. Entering the wate1;I know that I ·want to go into the deep water but feel myse~fsinking. Knowing Tneed to be buoyed up, an irmertube appearsand I float delightfully. The dream shifts to an interaction with a woman who talks ·with me about the way I try to jolt myself out of habitual patterns, a method she doesn't believe in. I tell her that the habitual patterns are so strong that 1feel! need the jolt to exit their hold on me. She says perhaps I need a sudden yet gentle shift; as she says this, she strokes a white feather that 1know is myself As she caressesit, the feather becomeshorsehair . I wake up relaxed. Body communicates through tension that consciousness is forcing something. The dream expresses some elements needed by my being: beauty, deepening with support, a sense that needs will be met delight a gentler approach to my personal work, acceptance of the power of subtle transformation. Bodies Interpret Dream Experience I dream that Tam driving a station wagon whose back door is open. In the back arefour shapes, one of which is round with a complex pattern in the middle. This shape keeps falling out and a man follows behind the car continually replacing the shape. I slaw down each time to allow him to do this and am surprised that he is there.

I studied hypnosis , which became an important element in DN: You have a long and fascinating working with individuals . I started history insofar as your interest in dreams. graduate school.

Vol. 13 No. 4/Dream Network 31 Sharing Children's Dreams: Spontaneous, Joyous Dream-Inspired Art by Joan Mitchell Reynolds

Author's Preface: My work with children and their dreams was sparked by a question: Would the Senoi method oJfamily dream sharing be effective in a peer ~oupof contemporary children? A friend told me aboul a small group of people, called the Senoi, who Tived wzthin the equatorial rain forest in the central part of the Malay Peninsula. Unique, because OJtheir well integ':atedJamillf relationships and overall cooperative social interaction, thelj have been a subject of great psychological interest. Their environment lends much to create the reacejulness of their nature but another factor may be the underlying reason. private day school was interested in my query and allowed me to The Senoi begin thetr aay with the A dreams of their mght. Each member of work with their children. The children attending this school came from various the fami(y and especially the children, socioeconomic backgrounds and ethnically diverse cultures. Two days a week, at relate e-veryfragment o;a dream the beginning of each art class, I would ask if anyone would like to tell a dream. memory from tlie prevwus night. These Some of the children wanted to stay in the art class but others left their desks and creative symbols are discussea and came with me for dream group. Each session was limited to forty five minutes analyzed. Ideas are broughtjorth with six to eight children in a group. Some days I could let the sessions run longer concerning the meaning an possible adjustment of difficultzes encountered and found that one hour and fifteen minutes was the best length of time for dream wzthin the dream. These group. I audio taped each session; a few times, we played a take back. Also, I maladjustments are scrutinized and the introduced them to the idea of drawing dream images as another way to learn attitudes of the dreamer reviewed, thus from their dreams. helping to clarify a fear or disguised At first, we met in a large room that was empty except for a twelve foot table hostility. The posit we elements of the with benches. Having lots of extra empty space was very helpful for those dreams are viewed as well and extended to show the correlation between similar children who wanted to pace back and forth while telling a particularly terror situations in daillj life. filled memory. The security of the group and the table WES important for some The question about the Senoi and and for others, physical movement away from the table was needed. This room today's children led me to undertake a provided a place not only for releasing tension but also for expressing joy and two year research project with one play. If a funny animal was found in a dream, there was space enough to show hunared and seventy-five children, between the ages of six and twelve, to how it walked or ran or wiggled. How can a three legged creature be known explore the dynamics of children's unless there is some sort of demonstration? Watching how someone or something dream groups in a natural school in a dream sneaked up in a strange way is easier to show than to tell. Of course, environment, having the school provide this action sometimes was just too tempting to watch and the other children the identity for a place of belonging, would run around showing their dream ideas. The spontaneity of expression was instead of the Senoi family identity. fantastic.

32 Dream Network Vol. 13 No.4 Jl.{{Jl.rt is created btj the chiftfren who participated in Joan's aream c[asses. Occasionally, we used a medium sized room in which windows stretched the full length. There were three tables with separa te chairs. The children always vied for the seats at the table where the" dream guide" sat. The ones * who were not at this table felt isolated. Their attention was never focused in the same way and the groups broke down into distinct units of interaction. Some sharing of ideas occurred but not • with much frequency. The children at the outer tables spent most of the time drawing. The only solid unit was at the .;J< table of the "dream guide." A real tie was broken by having separate groups. At times, when all the classrooms were filled, we had to create a sort of dream corner to one side of a regular classroom. This worked out but it was the least successful. Dream telling among the young gets very loud and the session.
