Part 3, Step 1 – Dream Talking Meditation 2

This part of the Dream Talking course is where we continue the meditation style exercises that have been carefully designed to establish the foundation and communication between your conscious and subconscious mind.

Meditation and dreams are very closely aligned. They both share a very special place in your deeper consciousness. It is a place where memory and thought merge with emotions and a deep awareness of what you need to know, and how you feel about our journey of life. It is here, in the deeper and subconscious mind, where your past, present and future meet. This is where your life that seem so governed by time, meets the timeless part of you.

This is the 2nd of 4 meditation exercises in the Dream Talking course.

We will establish the relationship between the part of you listening or reading this right now, and the subconscious part of you that creates your dreams. Your subconscious has so much to show you.

The audio programs use relaxing binaural tones in the background to help balance your brain activity, and slow down and relax your conscious state.

To get the most of the guided meditation exercises, as with all of the meditations available from the Elonias Foundation, they are best listened to with headphones or earphones to ensure the tones and music are heard the way they are intended.

Please note:

• After you have completed the exercise, Step 2 of this part of the course is to record your dreams over 2 nights
• Following the audio exercise, and before you go to bed, prepare for any potential dream recall, experience or waking feelings by downloading and printing the PDF listed below. You can save or print it out and have it ready. As I mentioned in the introduction, you can use a personal notepad or diary, or preferably even a voice recorder

Now, find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed, relax and start Meditation 2 of the Dream Talking Course, below…

Recommended items and course suggestions so you can get the best results from this course…

• Something to write on. This should be a notepad and pen. When we write with a pen or pencil we engage the brain in ways typing and touching a screen do not. However, use of a phone, tablet, computer or other device can still be used. 
• Before you sleep. It is also highly recommended to write in a journal or diary before going to sleep; this allows you to sort your feelings and empty your mind of thoughts from the day. Just as in the Dream Talking program, working with yourself often creates a greater connection inwardly and can enhance dream clarity. 
• A Personal Journal or Notepad. The activities in this course are best completed when hand-written. If possible, record on your preferred written format. If you are not able to write or journal you can make notes on your digital device just as easily.
• Note 1: It is strongly recommended to turn off as many distractions as possible when completing this program, such as music or television (and even your phone if you are not using it to read the course notes).
• Note 2: It is strongly recommended to avoid using all device or screen technology at least 30 mins before going to bed. This allows your brain to relax and prepare for sleep.

Part 3, Step 2 – Dream Journal 

This part of the program is to record your dreams over the next 2 consecutive nights.

To do this, of course, you will need to get a regular night’s sleep for 2 consecutive nights.

To get the most out of the exercise, don’t go to bed too late. You want to get to bed as early as you feel is practical to allow your body to fall into its circadian rhythm – this is your body’s natural cycles of rest, dream REM sleep and regeneration.

Before you go to bed, prepare for any potential dream recall, experience or waking feelings.

• In this section you will use the PDF media download you can save or print out. Please have this ready. As I mentioned in the introduction, you can also use a personal notepad or diary, or preferably even a voice recorder
• I strongly encourage you to handwrite or record your voice, at least in the beginning. When we handwrite we activate the brain in a fashion that helps the energy and thought process flow more naturally. Typing digitally does not
• You will notice on the PDF Dream Journal pages there is a check box for Night 1 or Night 2. That way your results will be clear for when you review them at another time. Just tick the right one, and you are on your way
• This exercise runs over 2 consecutive nights to allow you give your mind and body to harmonise more effectively so you have the best conditions to remember your dreams
• After you have finished Meditation 2, and before you are ready to go to bed, print the PDF Dream Journal pages, or get your other recording option ready

Enjoy your sleep!

Remember, record anything you can when you wake up. Dreams, feelings, impressions. Everything tells a story.
