An Excerpt from Five Steps to Personal Power By Patrick Ryan
Simple Dream Programming
1. Choose an issue or question that you really want to solve.
2. Go over the issue in your mind or in your journal, asking the following questions:
- Am I really ready to solve this problem or challenge?
- What are the alternative solutions to this problem/challenge?
- Why won't one of these solutions do?
- What would I have to give up (e.g., sympathy, martyrdom, dependency) if the problems/challenge is resolved?
- How would things be different if the problem/challenge were resolved?
3. Think of a one sentence question or request that expresses your deepest and clearest desire to resolve this question. This is the question or request you'll repeat to yourself as you're falling asleep in bed at night.
An example of such a sentence might be "Help me understand my relationship to X" or "Should I change jobs?"
4. When you awake in the morning (or in the middle of the night), have journal and pen handy to record any dreams or impressions immediately upon waking. Include any feelings, thoughts, images, or details you recall from your dreams.
