Everglades swimm aligators

We were in a landscape similar to the Everglades. its was getting dark, just the time after the sunset and before the night. somehow my best friend was swimming with boots and shorts shirts etc. getting from a tiny island to mainland It was not a long swim, aprox 200 feet.. He was dressed like one of these Indiana Jones characters with green army colors etc. He was very gun ho as always. the first to try it, no fear, .. Somehow I felt that he may need some support or encouragement so has to help him get to the other side faster.. I was worried about alligators. somehow there were there we all new it but my friend took the chance.. I think that they were small alligators or for some reason there were not supposed to be a major threat... Nevertheless I found myself to his right side. swimming on my right side looking at him and I was surprisingly fast.. Im not sure if I was human at all..and I had no clothes...I was swimming like an otter. Then.. came 1 alligators that was clearly going after him.. He was getting tired from swimming with the boots and the whole attire.. I came much closer to him and was trying to help him get faster ,, He was like 20 feet from the shore and swimming strongly.. what had started with confidence and humor was getting quite worrisome. at the end the Alligator was pulling him from the boots and he was swimming.. I got very anxious and woke up

Draw Your Dreams

Posted by Kelly Sullivan on May 20, 2013


You must not let your life run in the ordinary way; do something that nobody else has done, something that will dazzle the world. Show that God's creative principle works in you.
~ParamahansaYogananda 



Take a dream, any dream, and get out a sketchpad. Now draw or paint your dream.
If your gift in life isn’t in the visual arts (like Yours Truly) don’t be concerned. Draw stick figures, think like a caveman and think of your drawing/painting as a map of the dream.In my dream workshops, participants love this exercise…the natural born artists and the stick figure drawers (like me).

A picture says a thousand words, and drawing our dream can reveal relevant insight we would never catch if we were just journaling.  It’s as if the mere notion of drawing, sketching, or painting a dream is a red-carpet invitation for our inner child to show up and play and reveal the truth of what’s really going on deep inside.Under the guise of this being a frivolous and fun exercise, a phenomenal level of serious dream clarity can come rushing in.

Today, while your inner perfectionist is still sleeping, slip out of bed, and grab a sheet of paper (or simply sketch in your dream journal), and without thinking, let your dream map express itself across the page.

The Poetry of Dreams

Posted by Kelly Sullivan on May 19, 2013




This ladder: a spire
Sketchy interpretation, Jacob
Reaching toward infinity, the stars, the sun.
If you make it up, and back,
You’re golden.

~Joan Gelfand



Our earliest dreamers and poets were shamans. Today as in the earliest times, true shamans are poets of consciousness who know the power of song and story to teach and to heal. They understand that the right words open pathways between the worlds and draw closer the gods and goddesses who wish to live through us.

My dear friend, colleague, and dream ambassador, Joan Gelfand, inspires us to look to our dreamtime as the fodder for our most inventive creative writing. Check out her book, “A Dreamer’s Guide to Cities and Streams.” I dare you not to be inspired!

Another dream ambassador, guide, and personal dream mentor of mine, Robert Moss brings this ancient bardic tradition to life in a collection of poems and stories that stream directly from dreams and shamanic adventures in the world-behind-the-world in his new book, Here, Everything is Dreaming (Sunny Press).

Robert has a knack for carrying readers into a reality where everything is alive and conscious, where tigers and bears can lend you their forms and ravens and hawks can give you their sight, where the ancestors are talking, and the gates to the Otherworld open from wherever you are.

With the inspiration of Joan Gelfand and Robert Moss, take a dream, a dream snippet, or dream wisp and wax poetic in your dream journal. Don’t think twice about whether or not it rhymes or will make sense to anyone else.

I find when I do this, I discover elements of my dream that would otherwise get lost if I recorded them as I normally do. Poetry has the effect of shining a light on the most vital aspect of the dream…sneaking out the back door of our conscious mind…and slipping through the cracks of our flimsy rational mental constructs… transporting us beyond the beyonds of who we think we are…and who we think we can be.
