HEART CENTERED LIVING

                By Myra Tovey

In my last article, I talked about Brugh Joy’s passing in December 2009.  He was my teacher and mentor for 30 years.

Working with dreams was very important to Brugh.  He believed that “dreams are the royal road to the unconscious” and that “most dreams serve your soul, instead of your ego.”  I agree with Brugh, that dreams ARE the royal road to the unconscious.  Do you want to become more conscious?  If so, you may be interested in working with your dreams.  Begin working with your dreams by setting the intention, before you go to sleep, that you would like to remember your dream.  Have a pen and paper by your bed so you can write down what you remember as soon as you wake up.  In addition, it helps to write down what your feeling was about the dream.  Soon you will begin to see certain patterns emerging.  These patterns in your dreams often indicate some pattern in your life that you need to become more aware of.  Every dream is important, even when it does not seem to be.  Most of the time I hear people discounting their dreams, and say, “oh that is just a dream, it isn’t real”   Remember, the purpose of working with dreams is to become more conscious and aware of what is happening in one’s life.

In 1991, I was attending a workshop in Paulden, AZ., which was called the Teacher/Leader workshop.  Brugh was the teacher of this workshop and spent a great deal of time working with dreams.  During the workshop, I had a profound dream, which I now call “Remember the Secret.”  You can read about the dream in my book, “Yes I Will.”  In this dream, I had lost my purse.  While I was busy looking for my purse, everyone else was having a party.  Because I looked for my purse for a very long time, everyone had gone home by the time I actually found my purse and was ready to party.  Then a beautiful woman appeared to me and held her hand out.  She looked like a priestess.  There were five doors with large beautiful gold oriental doorknobs on each of the doors.  She held her hand and directed energy to the first door.  The door opened and about10 children came out, walking toward the Source (God).  All of the children had blonde hair and blue eyes and were 8 - 9 years old.  The children looked like my grandson Joshua, and were his age, had he survived.  (He had died 5 years before this dream, at the age of three.)  Then this woman directed energy (one at time), at each of the remaining four doors.  At each door, the same thing happened; children who looked like Joshua came out and walked toward the Source.

At that time of my life, I was going through identity changes.  The Stress Reduction and Learning Center that I had helped start in the early 80’s, closed on the same weekend I was in Arizona at this workshop.  Losing my purse in the dream clearly referred to me losing my identity at the Center.  That dream was 19 years ago.  Over the years, I have had many new insights into the significance of this dream.  Each time that new information came through, the insights were those that I had not seen earlier.  The more that I studied and grew spiritually, the more insights were revealed to me.

Some dreams are prophetic allowing one to work years on their insights.Other dreams, especially repeated dreams, are those that require action.  Still other dreams are compensatory dreams, healing dreams, or “release” dreams.  Always look at what patterns are being revealed to you through your dreams, because they reflect where you are in your life.  That is why Brugh said that dreams are the royal road to the unconscious.  Dreams are a way to become more conscious.  Dreams can make you aware that changes need to be made.
