We already know....Now we just let it happen....No anxiety, no stress, since those emotions are unproductive. Keep a smile on your face and gratitude in your heart...

Just a suggestion. Although meetingat Mt. Shasta might be fun....Someday soon.

I need some way to physically see the place - a map and/or a picture of the place?

hello tribe,
I've been away from the computer world for a few months now. Had to purchase a new one. Coming back I feel a little overwhelmed trying to get back into the threads. I realize now though the real thing is I am not finding much that is interesting me until now. This is a wonderful idea and I hope people are still trying. I would like to join on this venture. I've really put my medicine woman ways down over the past few months and need to get back into the dreaming, the journeys, the medicine, the magic. Thank you Daniel. Tonight I will try to put my intentions to this place, though I have to say I do not have much practice with conscious dreaming in terms of the type of dreaming that happens when our bodies sleep. I am much better at shamanic journey work and entering the dreamtime with my drum. Hope to see some of you there though :-)
many Blessings upon the Council of Dreams

two nights ago just after I had closed my eyes to sleep but before I settled into dreaming, I journied to the DreamCouncil, sitting round a fire at night. I was told to follow the Bear (Ursa Major, who points towards North). I was standing outside the circle and could see the constellation in the night sky. Then two or three people pointed in the direction which was to my left. I heard "East". This did not correspond with the position of Ursa MAjor in the sky, but I believe it was to give me a sense of direction to know if East is to my left then I am standing at the North. The Bear was about cardinal points, the people in the circle pointing were about positions on the medicine wheel. I myself do not know a whole lot about the symbolism and meaning of the different directions. All I do know is that for the longest time I was working in the direction of the South with destruction/chaos/ and rebirth. Kali was a reoccurring figure in my life. I also know I am at a turning point and recent signs and dreams have shown me that I am standing at the North and now the DreamCouncil has "spoken" as well :-) I started to walk in the direction that everyone was pointing which brought me to another site. It felt like a solo sight.
Many Blessings,
Jessie

I can see it in my daydreaming, faintly. Tonight I'll go if I may...
THe idea of this DreamCouncil is great.
Here, we could forge on tribe appropriate texts for our intentions!?

Love,

ML.

Aloha, fellow dreamers

Kaiya has asked me to contribute here, as I'm an active dreamworker, offering private sessions as well as Dreamshops, in Santa Cruz, at the Dreamtime festival in Colorado, and on the playa in BRC.

I've really been enjoying the current dialogue around meeting up in Panther Meadows. After talking with Kaiya, it occurred to me that some fundamental steps need to be taken for us to gather in the dreaming, at that beautiful spot.

This then, is a thread focused on Lucid Dreaming and Intentional Dreaming. The idea is that even if some of us manage to travel to the Meadow, if we're not conscious of the journey AND traveling in resonance with others with the same intention, we may all go there and not recall the dream, or we could all visit the our separate dimensional expressions of the place.

To remedy that, for those interested, I propose the first task is to become skilled at lucid dreaming. Then, we develop the talent called Intentional Dreaming.

Here are some basics that many of us know and are still valuable insights:

Lucid Dreaming: Being aware that you're dreaming, while you're dreaming.
Intentional Dreaming: Practicing setting an intention for the dreamspace, before falling asleep, then experiencing our expression of that intention.

To genuinely meet up in Panther Meadows, we need to be skilled at both of these skills, because this meet up will involve a third factor; To engage in shared or communal dreaming, by collaboratively practicing tuning into a shared resonant dreaming field.

With all that said, for those of you still with me, here's the very simple instructions that resulted in me having lucid flying dreams with increasing degrees of lucidity, control and power, over the course of 3 months.

1. While in bed or just before bed (if you don't wish to disturb someone else in bed with you), say aloud, "thank you (your name), for dreaming lucidly tonight. thank you (your name) for remembering my dreams in the morning." I expand on this greatly in my own practice. There are a few keys: Speak aloud. Our brains and spirits respond powerfully to our own voices. Use past-tense phrasing as though it's the next morning and you've already had the experience of your lucid dream the night before. Our brains here this and jump to make it true. Use your own phrasing. The power resides in how much and how deeply we feel what we're saying. I go into a relaxed, believable conversational tone with myself that my reasoning mind is less likely to resist. Really, just talk to yourself. "Thank you, Jason, for dreaming lucidly. Thank you for remembering my dreams in the morning. Thank you for waking easily and relaxedly and remembering everything I did. Thank you for being awake in my dreams. That was so much fun. That was so clear. I remember everything so vividly. Thank you for opening that door for me again. I love being awake in my dreams and for remembering them when I wake." The more you can generate the feeling of having had that experience, the better your results will be and the faster you’ll progress.

Also, the more you can do this while you're falling asleep, aloud, the better it works. As you're drifting off, allow your voice to get lower and more resonant in your chest. This is when the programming gets in deepest. I'll pull myself awake just a bit, as I'm almost asleep, to say repeat it again. Often, just repeating the same phrase over and over and over again, hearing the echoes of "thank you for lucid dreaming, thank you for lucid dreaming, thank you for lucid dreaming.....", until I really can't talk anymore, works the best. Keep it simple. Give your reasoning mind less to decipher so that the programming can get to your spirit, that much faster.

This method has been very effective in my own journeys and I'm exited to share it here. A simple, powerful practice.

As we develop this skill, we’ll start into Intentional dreaming, bringing us baby steps closer to meeting up the shared dreaming expression of Panther Meadows.

I’m looking forward to your thoughts, your reflections and experiences. Feel invited to share any questions.

Aloha and see you in the dreaming
