We're talking about Dreams

Welcome to The Calm Space. This month we’re talking about Dreams. Each of our contributors has taken the theme and made it their own. I truly love the diversity of real people sharing their own unique perspective on our theme each month. It brings so many wonderful ideas and thoughts to the table, doesn’t it?

Leah’s dreaming of free technology, and I am looking forward to trying out some of her recommendations. Marjorie recommends reading to help your dreams of health, wealth and love. Joanna asks us what our writing dreams are (something close to my own heart); and Chris asks us about sharing our dreams with our beloved. Angela helps us to dream big; and Annie shows us that dreams are meant to come true. For a bit of fun, we look at songs, albums and movies about dreams in The Music Space.

And once you’ve explored our magazine a little this month, don’t forget to take a moment to just breathe and dream at The Breathing Space – it will be there for you all month long!

Also this month, a little excitement as we launch two new Spaces…

The Happening Space will bring you hints, tips, resources, ideas and news throughout the month – so don’t forget to pop in regularly or subscribe so you don’t miss out.

The Challenge Space will provide you with small, do-able challenges on a regular basis – our first challenge to you is up and we’d love to see your response!

From me and the team here at The Calm Space, we wish you a happy, dream-filled Easter. It’s a time of rebirth and what better time to dream those huge, outrageous dreams?

May all your fondest dreams come true – you deserve it!

Dreams of Joy

Dream as if you’ll live forever.

 

Live as if you’ll die today.

~James Dean

Do you remember when you were a child and you used to daydream about what your life was going to be like?

I used to like lying on the lawn in the warmth of the sun and watch the clouds drift through the blue sky over my head, wondering what it would be like to be lying up there on one of those clouds. [Take a look at the beautiful photo in The Breathing Space this month...]

My mind used to wander in all sorts of delectable directions – who I would be, how I would be. How I would fill the hours of my life.

I remember imagining myself making music for a living. Now I make music when I have a few spare moments… and those aren’t often enough!

Can you remember your daydreams as a child?

What happened to them?

Dream On.

It doesn’t matter how old you are, or your bank account balance. It doesn’t matter your current state of health. However and whoever you are right now, you can still dream. Your dreams are not limited by your current life circumstances.

Your dreams are full of possibilities and miracles. Your dreams can expand in any direction, totally unlimited by anything except your imagination.

And you can, at any stage, change direction, move, extend, open up, dare… in your dreams.

Dreams give you a power that is all your own.

We all have dreams, but sometimes it’s easy to say – “what’s the use?” – when you see the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

When thoughts like that sneak in, sometimes it’s hard to get out from under them and start dreaming again… like we did when we were young and carefree.

When dreaming is hard is precisely the time we need it the most. Dreaming helps us to lift our eyes up to the heavens, to see a brighter world.

Dreaming raises our spirits, and opens our mind to new possibilities. It increases our inner vibration or level of happiness to such an extent that we start to act like a magnet to attract wonderful things into our life.

Literally, by dreaming your dreams and believing in their power, you can start to make them come true.

Two special ways to help you dream your wonderful dreams, and start turning them into reality:

1. Write them down! There is nothing like getting the mind out of the way, having the pen flow on the page as you open your heart to the endless possibilities awaiting you. There are many stories of people writing lists of things they want to acheive, and putting that list away for a few years. When they come back to it – they discover most of the dreams have come true! Isn’t it worth a try?

2. Develop a dream list or vision board. There has been a lot of discussion around vision boards since The Secret was released. But don’t let that put you off trying it. A dream board can be as simple as a picture attached by a Garfield magnet to the front of your fridge! It doesn’t have to be fancy and beautiful.It can be a brochure for that car you’d love – that you keep by your bed and skim through each night before going to sleep. It can be your list of ‘big things’ you’ve written down in your diary, that you read through while waiting for the kids at the school gate.

It can be a cheque you write yourself – dated in the future – for the achievement of your biggest, wildest, most out-there dream.

It can be a bunch of pictures you turn into a screen saver (easy with Picasa, that Leah talks about over in The Digital Space this month) or a desktop background on your computer.

The more you keep your dreams warm and alive, the happier you will be!

Your dreams can help you, without exception, to transform your life with strength, power, peace, health and abundance.
