- Creative Reverie is a bridge between ordinary consciousness, the sub- conscious, and our higher consciousness. It is a domain where “inner” and “outer” meet.
- Creative reverie is generally experienced as a state of detachment, floating, of just observing.
- A key indication of Creative Reverie is the sudden appearance of amazing life-like images, which can appear in many forms—visual, auditory, verbal, olfactory, synesthetic, and so on– so real we cannot often distinguish them from images in the flow of “ordinary” life.
- Creative Reverie is a Realm of Enchantment and Wonder, where ordinary “reality” touches other realms of life experience.
- Many people around the world experience Creative Reverie every day as they enter sleep (which in scientific terms is called “hypnagogia”), and when they emerge from sleep (“hypnopompia”).
- Creative reverie has been the fountainhead of breakthroughs in science and many other fields.
Practice:
- Keep a Discovery Journal by your bedside or when you are napping of this fertile domain, and make it a cherished part of your daily life.
- Pay special attention to the images and the stories they are often a part of.
- In more advanced practice you can learn to dialogue with the images.
- Please note he most common place images ( simple flower, a peapod, silence itself) may lock deep and secret meanings.
