DAY 5 - LUCID GRATITUDE

consciously directing attentions to Gratitude
during transition from Waking reality to Dream space
will create a bridge allowing intentional exploration,
Divine communion,
 and passage to enlightening adventures.
 
here is how:
 
 
1.  tonight, as you lie to rest, focus on Gratitude.
 
2.   imagine this symbol over your heart.
 
3.  with each peaceful beat calming waters within,
feel a drift into sleep,
flowing knowing going is NOW -
resting on a ring of Gratitude,
leisurely floating Rivers of Abundance.
rest.  soak.  splash.
explore shores for treasures galore.
prepare to wake in Gratitude.
 
 
***
 
 
Go Gratitude!

to activate Will during sleep excursions,
summon a symbol of Gratitude.
You will immediately connect with choice, awareness, and power!
 
plus - flying remains an exhilarating option.

 ” Lucid dreams are also symbolic–yet in quite a different way,
  …Their symbolism takes the form of beautiful landscapes
 –different luminous phenomena, sunlight, clouds, and especially a deep blue sky.
 In a perfect instance of the lucid dream I float through immensely wide landscapes,
 with a clear blue, sunny sky, and a feeling of deep bliss and  Gratitude,
 which I feel impelled to express by eloquent words of thankfulness and piety.
 
Sometimes these words seem to me a little rhetorical,
 but I cannot help it, as it is very difficult in dreams to control emotional impulses … 
 Sometimes I conceive of what appears as asymbol, warning, consoling, approving.
 
 Flying or floating may be observed in all forms of dreams,
 except perhaps the class of general dream sensations;
 yet it is generally an indication that lucid dreams are coming. ”
