Part 6, Step 1 – Reality is a Dream

This part of the Dream Talking course is where we continue the meditation style exercises. This next exercise has been carefully designed to provide your waking mind with a powerful shift in the perception of waking and sleeping in a way that empowers you to not only remember your dreams but begin an entirely new way of perceiving life and ‘you’.

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

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 our these 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 program 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 4 of the Dream Talking program

Part 6, 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.

You can download and view or print your ‘Dream Talking Activity Document‘ to complete the activities for Part 6, Step 2.

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. It is also highly recommended to write in a journal or diary before going to sleep; this allows you to empty your mind of thoughts and feelings from the day in preparation for enhanced dream clarity.
• Something to record your voice. When waking up in the night or morning, it is best to keep your eyes closed when recalling and recording a dream. A voice recorder is best. Try to avoid using your phone – looking at a device screen will stimulate a beta state of brain activity and can reduce your ability to access deeper dream recall. This is not essential but is strongly recommended – dream recall is far easier (at least at first) with the eyes closed to maintain a relaxed brain state that is not overstimulated by distraction and device activity.
• A printer. This is not essential, however some of the activities are best completed on the PDF activity sheets provided when printed in hard copy. If you do not have a printer, or choose not to print the documents, you can make notes on your notepad just as easily.

Note 1: It is strongly recommended to turn mobile phones, wifi and other technology devices off whilst sleeping to maintain a disturbance-free and brain-friendly sleeping environment.

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.
