# 25 Dreams

Dreams come in all flavors: symbolic of you, precognitive, future, and much more, but all of them are directly tied to you in some way.

Most dreams are what Dr. Fritz Perls, call symbolic dreams, in which all elements, which make up the dream, are you.

To help you decipher these dreams, Dr. Fritz Perls, showed his clients, role playing, to handle the symbolic dreams, but we go further than tha,t and say all of dreams, can be role played with, to find out the truth of the expressive experience.

Role playing is done by placing two chairs facing each other, one is you and the other is the element of the dream you want to work with. You get these elements by dividing the dream elements into figure or background, you work with the figure first, for these are the action of the dream, you choose which one to start with, and you go through all the figure elements, then you go back to the background elements and see if any now stand out as secondary, etc., figures, and if they do, you work with them, and continue in this fashion, till you see no more figures, then you end the dream interaction by using background, as an element of the dream.

What you do for yourself, you can do, for any experience you see, read, experience and you can find out what all these elements in this experience, expression, excitement, energy symbolization, say about the truth of the expressive expression. Do just as you would as if it’s one of your dreams.

Utilize figure and background, to find the action elements, and background to be a bowl, which the elements you didn’t choose, wait till you return to look at them with new eyes.

You go back to the background and see if you see any new secondary, etc., figures, until you see no more, and then you end with using background as a character element.

If you keep a journal, you can write the dream or the results you got understanding the dream down in your journal, or you can do both.

May the Microcosmic Force be with you!

 

# 24 How we perceive ourselves through the choices we make

(c) Terry Floyd Johnson, 2014

When we feel we’re a bad person, because no one loves us, everyone thinks we’re awful, etc., most of the time- these thoughts are simply symbols, to show us what we feel about ourselves is right.

We utilize our choices of what we do or want to do, or what we want to bring about to make us happy, but then when we get it, it soon bores us, and we have to sabotage it, to keep our image of ourselves- alive and well.

Living under the lash of how we feel about ourselves, when that image is of a bad, mean, ugly, etc. person, it makes us choose, and to ignore other thoughts, warnings, so we can hurt ourselves, and then blame ourselves, for not stopping it from happening. This is a no win position.

How deep in the depths in our belief or rather our forced way of looking at ourselves, make us either unhappy and dark, or happy, but dark all the same, for we’re being shown how bad we truly are, and this verification makes us ecstatic!

Our lives become miserable, as we find all kinds of ways to dump on ourselves, showing us how bad, poor of a person we are, and how we shouldn’t have been born.

We wrap ourselves in our misery, and even though, we go out to have fun, it usually goes awry and we dump on ourselves for spoiling our good time.

This is called a self-fulfilling prophecy, we say what’s going to happen, then do all in our ability to make it happen.

What all this is saying, is, we’re what we believe we are; if you want to open up, allow light in, and see yourself in a positive way, you can do so, and you can create a new image of yourself.

Don’t say it isn’t working, after trying for an hour, a day, a year, and then giving up, you’re using your anger at yourself, to show yourself once more- how bad, how evil, a person you are.

This shows, when you’ve been one way for a long time, it takes time to show your bodymind, that you truly want to be this new person: use microcosmic force blessings, lighten up on dumping on yourself, be rational in what you set up by doing affirmations, make them capable of happening, and not a pie in the sky wish, that hasn’t a chance of coming true, then use this failure to dump on yourself, and depending on how low you’re on yourself, that could lead to darker avenues of taking your anger out on yourself.

Remember your a life, and life is beautiful, it is how we observe it, that makes it light or dark for us, travel in light, and transform the darkness through Microcosmic Force Blessings, Microcosmic Force Blessing Affirmations, and Microcosmic Force Blessing Love of Self, and all that you are.

May the Microcosmic Force be with You!
