we can mindfully look to what is next. Perhaps we will know we have achieved this when their colours deepen or we become even more excited by them. This is still big-picture stuff – dreaming, not thinking, about the details. Two other tips. Firstly, this is not the time to focus on
what we will leave behind. We need to put our energy and attention on what we want to gain, not what we fear to lose – otherwise we will struggle and can’t progress with ease. Secondly, I suggest that we take care
as to when and with whom we share our dreams. Well-meaning or not the words of another can be as supportive or critical as our own minds.
THE DREAM CONTINUES From my earlier example, I continue to dream about teaching English. I daydream about it until I see it in colour; until I find myself writing lesson plans and enjoying long school holidays. I
don’t worry about how my wages may drop or that I will have to study again. I keep dreaming and connecting to the resonance of what is now my dream. Strong in myself, I am not dissuaded
when a friend says she cannot see me teaching and it is financial suicide. I acknowledge her viewpoint, avoid any discussion that undermines my dream, and move on. Then someone else mentions teaching English as a second language, overseas. Such a suggestion honours my dream. If I adopt it, it has helped to crystallise my path. If it does not attract me, it supports my original dream of teaching in a school. Either way I can use it to empower my decision-making process. In many of the Celtic Irish stories, the
choice of the next step is made because our favourite flowers grow along one route or a tree falls across the other. Perhaps a ‘god’ or guide beckons us to take a particular direction, or the sun is shining on one road but storms gather
over another. In other words, once we embrace the dream, the road to its realisation will rise to meet us if we allow it to do so. Encouraging the mind to be playful
and look for clues can be very helpful. Perhaps we notice a seminar or book that looks useful or we speak with a person we meet by chance and they turn out to have good advice or contacts for us. If we allow it, this phase can be fun, not hard work and after this we can employ the planning mind as we get into details and into the action phase. Happy dreaming! l
