Self Esteem Activity -- Dream Journaling

Although it might seem like an odd self esteem activity, the practice of dream journaling is great for personal development, and receiving guidance from within -- building trust in the self, leading to better life choices.

To demonstrate, here's a perfect example...

Because of money troubles, one of my clients was planning to quit paying his credit cards until he had a dream in which some of his hair fell out, and the rest of it turned gray!

In dream interpretation, hair represents personal power...

...This was clearly his Higher Self sending him a warning that if he acted on his fears, and threw away all of his credit, he'd be giving his power away...

...Not a good self esteem activity!

Luckily, he decided to keep paying off the credit cards, and trust Life -- and himself -- to provide the money he needed...

...Which is exactly what happened.

Dream Interpretation

Our dreams contain messages that if properly interpreted, can greatly assist us in all areas of life -- which is why dream journaling is such a great tool for building self esteem.

Negative, self-defeating, self-limiting beliefs are the foundation of low self esteem. They are the distorted lens through which we view ourselves, and life -- dictating our fear-based choices and actions.

Trusting your Higher Self -- accepting and acting upon its guidance in dreams -- can help you make better choices -- debunking the negative beliefs that dis-empower you.

According to world-renowned authors, and dream experts -- David Wilcock and Sylvia Brown -- most everything in your dreams is really you. This includes the buildings, other people, animals, even the landscape and any monsters you find there...

...Next time a monster, or bully is threatening you in a dream, ask yourself how you are doing this to yourself in your waking life.

You can read Sylvia Browne's "Book of Dreams", for some wonderful and enlightening information on how to make sense of your dreams and properly receive their messages.

How To Keep A Dream Journal

Here is the best way to remember and record your dreams...

As soon as you awaken from a dream -- don't move -- don't do anything else except try to remember as much of it as you can. When you have the main parts of it firmly in your mind, then go straight to your notebook or computer, and start writing it all down...

...Record as many details as possible.

The more you do this, the easier and easier it will become to remember your dreams. It may seem difficult at first, I know, but stick with it...

...It's a self esteem activity you won't regret.

Eventually, you come to understand that your waking life is just as much a dream as those you have when you are sleeping. And, if you want to, you can learn to control your dreams, and manifest your life the way your want it to be.
