When I was doing research for the book, I had the Strangest Dream, the Dreamer’s Dictionary for the 21st Century, I came across some startling data about the ways the Iroquois Indians conduct a social form of dream therapy.
The Iroquois Indians, dating back to 1100A.D., regarded dreams as the secret wishes of the soul and that it was the duty of a caring community to gather around a dreamer, help him or her recognize the soul’s wishes, and take action to honor them. Thus became their social form of dream therapy. They would act out their dreams and were allowed to go beyond the usual disciplined and moral social boundaries. This included making love to another person’s spouse. Such hidden desires were seen as the basis of social as well as individual problems. Allowing the expression of unconscious desires was the Iroquois way of conquering sickness of body and mind.
Upon reading about this I became inspired to create a Dream Theatre, a space for people to express their dreams in a theatrical way…to help them fulfill the intention of their dreams. More often than not we are awakened before the dream is able to complete its intention, and thus we are left in a constant cliffhanger. I believe that the goal of our dreams is to ultimately remind us that we are whole, perfect, and complete...that all the running around all day to prove how worthy we are is just plain silly. What would happen if we could actually extend our dreams to their natural conclusion? If we did this often enough, perhaps we would realize on a deep level that we are victorious, empowered, magnificent beings that are truly capable of creating a heavenly world.
In the DREAM THEATRE, dreams are brought to life. By seeing dreams acted out on a stage, you will learn how to decode the message of your dreams, and REDIRECT them to unfold in a way that reconnects you with your power, freedom, peace, and passion!
