Our society is changing. We live in times of rapid change, of global change, a change that probably will have an enormous effect on all of us living on this earth.
How do we become aware of this global interconnectedness? Can we notice signs of this change in our dreaming life?
Many of us have dreams of a good life for people; we feel an urgent need to change this world into a better one. How do we manage this? Can we dream a better future for our children?
Do dreams change society? Can dream work help us?
We know that a dream can tell us that something in our life needs to be changed – it could be a change of attitudes we have of ourselves or of others, it could be about the way we relate to others. The dream can also tell us about greater goals in our lives. We know that dreams have the potential to change us – a ’big dream’ can change us for the rest of our lives.
Inner change is connected to outer change – the crow that I just heard in my garden, will fly in my dream tonight, and what will I make out of that tomorrow?
This society that we live in is changing, it puts a challenge upon us, and as we are a part of this changing society, how can we join this process of change?
