Today I did a really fun video for you where you get to do a dream assignment of your own. Woo hoo! I want you to watch the video, do the assignment over this weekend and then you are going to get a 2nd video teaching you one of my favorite tools on how to interpret the dream.
I can’t share with you enough how dream work has completely shifted and changed my life. It was one of those life altering experiences that brought me to my truth, gave me the courage to leave my corporate job and live my life aligned with my soul.
When I started studying dream work, I was in my late 20’s and I was ready to leave my career in television. I had this amazing job at NBC Olympics where I was the Sr. Profiles Manager on the 2 minute pieces they produce on the athletes. Great job! Great company! I was miserable. I went in every day and spent at least a half hour a day with my office door closed, crying my eyes out.
At that time, I knew I was no longer living my dream and I needed the courage to leave my high paying, high profile job to pursue the dreams that were in my heart. At that time, I wanted to act.
I was taking acting classes and doing showcases in my spare time. But at first I was afraid… how could I leave this high paying job and pursue my dream? Wasn’t I over the hill? Wasn’t it too late? How would I pay my rent? How would I live?
After much soul searching through my dream work and therapy, I knew the answer. I had to leave and give my acting career a go. Here’s the amazing thing – once I made the decision, there was no going back. I just knew in my heart and soul this was what I was meant to do. The people I shared it with, knew it too. Why did they know it? Because I was so clear about my vision, my passion, my purpose, they couldn’t argue with me. They supported me.
I left NBC Olympics right when they got all those contracts for the Olympics. The company loved me especially the Senior VP, and she wanted to hide me in another department until the contracts kicked in. I would have had a job there for years rising on that corporate ladder. But I just couldn’t do it. I knew it wasn’t what I was here to do. I remember having to go to her office to tell her my plans. She was so supportive and nice.
Four months after I left that job, due to the dream work I did and understanding the visual symbols I was seeing in my everyday life, I landed the lead in Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding off-broadway from an open call. That was an equity play with benefits. What?! Amazing! I was by far the least experienced actress, but as the Casting Directors said, “You blew our doors off.” It was amazing leading up to that audition… all the signs that came to me that just kept encouraging me and telling me I was making the right decision, that this part was mine. If I hadn’t seen those signs, I may have doubted myself a little more and it could have thrown me into sabotage when I was sitting in a room of over 100 actresses exclaiming how great their resume was. But it didn’t. It didn’t bother me. I knew the part was mine.
I want to teach you how to understand the symbols in your life as well as ask your Guides for direction in your dreams. I’m teaching a Live class on Thursday, September 29th at 4pm (PT). Don’t worry if you can’t make it live, you will receive a replay of the class and it will be just as powerful. Everyone who joins the class will have to do a dream assignment before the class. I am going to teach you how to analyze your dream during the class and understand the symbols.
Fun!
For those of you who want to try a little dream interpretation, watch this video and meet me again for some interpreting fun.
