THE DREAM ARC - Investing in your Dreams

The Dream as the Soil

All human beings are fascinated by their dreams. We also all dream differently,
and we dream differently at different times of our lives. Most of us probably
assume that our dreams are the affects of our outer lives, since most of us
have experienced how increased stress in the world seems to lead to a muddled
and hectic dream state. We also each have different levels of dream recall -
some of us dream vividly every night and remember a great deal of our dreams,
whilst others recall very little of their dream life. For millennia, mankind has
found ways of accessing the information from dreams. The shaman sees the
dream life as more real than the waking life. Depth psychology sees dreams as
the working out of the unconscious forces within our lives. Above all, we seek
to interpret the strange flood of imagery and information that dreams harbour.

The Dream Arc is a completely new approach to the world of dreaming and
dreams. It contains an astounding central message that has rarely been
considered by us humans - that the dream world is not a mere echo of the
waking world - rather it is the fertile ground in which our waking life is
germinated.

Consider this: every night, whilst you are dreaming, you are in fact laying
down the energetic blueprint of the next day of your life.
This is the reversal that the Dream Arc is based upon - that what the shaman
has said is true - the dream life is more powerful than the waking life because
it is the very source of the waking life.

Armed with this truth, we would like to invite you to consider a few of the
possibilities of working with the Dream Arc system - If you can influence your
waking life through your dreams then that means you can change your destiny
whilst you are asleep. If you are struggling financially for example, your dreams
have the capacity to change this. If you are looking to find that mythical
perfect partner in life, you can use the dream realm to call them towards you.
Perhaps you have a difficult health issue, or know someone else with one, you
can enter into the core of the issue deep within the unconscious through your
dreams, and you can gain the insight for how to tackle this challenge. All of
these examples have already been proven to generations of true shamans from
many different cultures. The Dream is the soil in which the outer life is sown.

Animated Imagination - following the white rabbit

The Dream Arc is a complete inner dream technology that is waiting for anyone
with enough imagination to unlock its secrets. The human imagination is one of
the greatest keys for changing one's life because it is through the imagination
that images can cross over between the various layers of consciousness. This is
what the word 'imagination' means - the images move 'inwards'. It all depends
upon how deeply you can incite an image to travel into your unconscious. The
image has to travel across many inner divides, moving from waking
consciousness to the outer or 'alpha' level, then moving into deeper 'theta'
sleep until finally reaching into 'delta' or deep sleep. If you can move an image
into this deep sleep sphere of consciousness, then you have sown the seed in
the richest inner soil there is, and it must manifest a result in your outer life.
However, to drop an image this deep into the delta state requires a specific
inner knowledge of the workings of the unconscious and it requires one learn
the language of the dreamtime, which is the language of symbols and totems.

Diving into the realm of our dreams, we will be entering into a new territory in
which every image we meet represents an aspect of our own psyche. This is
why we need to learn a whole new dream language – a language that for
millennia has been based upon the kingdoms of nature and in particular the
animal kingdoms. Through the Dream Arc will learn precisely why it is that
animals, birds, insects, reptiles and fish form this alphabet of our dreams.
Contrary to most people’s thinking, the dream world does not end when we
wake up each morning, but continues as an unbroken chain of consciousness.
The only thing that changes is our point of access into the dream world. Thus
the animals and totems continue to come at us even as we go about our daily
media-soaked lives. Every totem is a white rabbit that leads us deeper and
deeper into the matrix of our full consciousness, and if we are alert to those
totems, then our lives can be enormously enriched and transformed.
Dream Technology - How it works

The Dream Arc system is described as 'a complete shamanic synthesis for
expanding and manifesting inner vision', and as you will see, this is exactly
what it is and what it does. First of all, we have to come to understand what
exactly inner vision is and how it relates to us on a personal level. Inner vision
refers to an inner blueprint held deep within the DNA molecules inside every
cell in our body. Within the human body, one of the greatest secrets is not in
fact DNA itself but the cellular membrane, through which information is
filtered before it reaches our DNA. In the cutting edge world of the new
biology, the cellular membrane is now being heralded as more important than
DNA itself. The reason for this is that the cellular membrane, which is a
relatively thin sheath surrounding each cell, is the intelligent interface
between our genes and our environment. In a nutshell, the cellular membrane
is an archetypal threshold by means of which DNA can be influenced, and it is
known to be particularly sensitive to electromagnetic energy fields such as
those generated by human thinking and feeling.

What this means is that although our DNA blueprints are pre-encoded and
therefore unchangeable, it is possible to alter the electromagnetic frequency
within our DNA by means of the cellular membrane.

When we raise the frequency passing through our DNA, then we unlock
hidden dimensions within that DNA. These hidden dimensions represent our
inner vision – a state of heightened consciousness that exists within every
human being alive, but that is generally lying dormant as an unrealised
potential.

The moment we re-access our inner vision of who we really are, then it begins
to uncoil within us. The role of the Dream Arc system is to maintain this high
frequency whilst awake and to gradually learn how to retain it during the
various stages of our sleep. Eventually then, an aspect of our waking awareness
will penetrate even our deepest sleep, and when this happens our whole being
becomes so saturated with our inner vision that it begins to manifest in our
waking lives. The result is an exponential improvement in every conceivable
aspect of our lives.

The Three Stages of the Process

The structure of the human sleep cycle is actually quite complex and is
generally divided into 5 phases in which the various brainwave frequencies
overlap and interpenetrate each other. It is interesting to note that as our
overall vibrational frequency goes up, so our brainwave frequency goes down.
This is due to a shift in our awareness from the cranial brain to the more
advanced system located in the solar plexus. The various phases of the sleep
cycle can be further distilled into three main stages or spheres:

Alpha - the sphere of Vision

First of all, the image that is going to manifest in your life must be recognised
as an inner vision. One's inner vision is the crystallisation of all one's deepest
longings. It is nothing less than the highest destiny that you can imagine for
yourself - it is you living at your absolute zenith. One's inner vision is accessed
through the alpha frequency of consciousness, which is our natural state during
extreme relaxation, deep meditation or light sleep. The Dream Arc process
trains you the individual to enter the alpha sphere at will and to therefore
access and maintain constant contact with your inner vision. The symbolic
carriers of the alpha consciousness are the bird totems, which for time
immemorial have been associated with visions or auguries of the future. Your
DNA contains a highly specific vision of your future destiny and your bird
totems capture this in symbolic form. Through a process of inner discovery, the
Dream Arc will introduce you to your three bird totems, which will symbolically
carry your inner vision deeper into your consciousness.

Theta - the sphere of Communication

Getting an image into our deep sleep phase is no mean feat. At best, most
people can move an image into their theta sleep pattern, which is itself quite
an accomplishment. In the theta phase (also known as REM sleep) one's vision
or image can reach out to touch the dreams of others, and it is through this
theta layer that humans can communicate with each other in dreams.
Whenever we dream of another person, these dreams occur within the theta
phase of sleep consciousness in which the image moves from the personal to
the collective consciousness field. In waking consciousness, the theta frequency
can only be accessed through a heightened state brought about through
unconditional love, a rare phenomenon in human beings. During sleep however,
everyone can access the theta frequency, since during sleep our sense of
individuality shuts down as we begin to merge back into pure consciousness.
Theta dreams are always powerful dreams since human identities often seem
to merge together with our own consciousness.

It is in the theta sphere that the mammal totems reign. It is where our inner
vision is communicated to the entire collective unconscious. It is also out of the
theta sleep phase that our human creativity emerges, and the deeper we let
our vision go, the more creative genius manifests on the surface of our lives.
This theta sphere is also the most dangerous level within the Dream Arc system
because there is enough of our awareness still left to cling to our fears.
Whatever we hold on to at this level will immediately present itself in our
waking life. This is the purpose of one's three totem mammals - they each
represent a gift within our nature that protects us within the dreamtime. This
is why the ancients always referred to them as our guardian spirits. Your three
totem mammals thus help you to actively express your inner vision
appropriately in your waking life – in other words, they give you the confidence
to begin communicating and expanding that vision out into the world.

Delta - the sphere of Manifestation

The delta consciousness field is the final frontier for human consciousness. At
the delta level of consciousness, all dreams and images disappear. This is the
phase known as dreamless sleep. All human beings need to enter delta sleep
every night in order for our psychic structure to stay healthy and intact. Sleep
deprivation really refers to an inability to enter the delta cycle of sleep.
Human consciousness does not need to spend very long at the delta frequency
but dives into it for brief phases each night during which the entire psychic
inner structure is cleansed and refreshed. This is akin to a computer rebooting
after having run multiple programmes all day long. It is only within the void
space of the delta frequency that an image can manifest back into the world of
waking consciousness.

The delta frequency is really the realm that the mystics call enlightenment. If
a human being enters into this state in their full waking awareness, they are
permanently transformed. Every night, when we enter dreamless sleep, our
consciousness returns to its true source of unlimited potential. Many people in
the modern world have problems in their health and in their lives that are
rooted in their inability to enter dreamless sleep for long enough periods, or in
some cases they do not enter it all. The reason for this is either external – for
instance, a mother nursing her baby throughout night, or it lies deeper within
the psychic structure itself. The delta realm is the sphere of the underworld
creatures – insects, reptiles and fish. The underworld creatures are the
guardians of humanity’s collective fears. If one is unable to enter deep sleep, it
is most probably due to a deeply lodged unconscious fear. Whichever creature
you are most afraid of is holding the key to unlocking a specific fear, and
behind that fear lies a world of rest and relaxation.

The underworld creatures also impact us strongly in our waking life. The Dream
Arc process will also introduce you to your three underworld totems – totems
chosen consciously or unconsciously by you. These three creatures hold the
deepest secret of all – they each open the final door to the sphere of
Manifestation. Specific fears lodged deeply in our unconscious prevent our
inner vision from manifesting. Thus this final phase of the Dream Arc process is
an unlocking of those fears so that the body can feel them and accept them. In
the old shamanic systems from around the world this process of unlocking our
deepest fears is known as ‘soul retrieval’ since it involves us literally retrieving
the lost parts of our soul, spirit or psyche. To dislodge a deep core unconscious
fear pattern is in many ways the most exhilarating aspect of the whole Dream
Arc process. It is akin to unblocking an inner dam behind which lies a flood of
psychic energy and information. As this energy is released, all kinds of
extraordinary events may occur in our lives.

The Dream Arc Bridge - Investing in your Dreams

The Dream Arc Bridge refers to the symbolic and literal pathway that
awareness takes as it moves through the various stages of wakefulness and
sleep. The Dream Arc system introduces us to a whole new way of looking at
the world and at ourselves. Its core purpose is to guide human awareness to
consistently widen these pathways across our inner thresholds. The more
fluidly awareness can travel across the Dream Arc Bridge, the more awakened
our whole being becomes. In this day and age we talk about investing our
energy and our money into different projects in the world ‘out there’. What we
don’t often realise is that the only place really worth investing in is our
dreams. Our dreams are the architecture of our outer lives, and if there is a
flaw or discrepancy between what we want and what we have, then the answer
is always within our dreams.

Many people seek to interpret their dreams. They would like to know what
their dreams mean and what mysteries they conceal. The irony is that it is not
our dreams that need to be interpreted but our lives. Most of us lack the inner
language to interpret the events of our outer lives, let alone our dreams. In
giving us this inner language, the Dream Arc system is the ultimate investment
because it is founded upon the premise that we are each sitting on a vast nest
egg that lies unhatched within our very DNA.

Working with the Dream Arc system is also easy and above all it is fun.
Everyone loves to work with animals, and they love to work with us.
Because we have evolved out of animals, we recognise them deep inside
us, and they recognise themselves in us. As we learn to recognise their
beauty, so we begin to see our own more clearly, and as that happens our
lives become simpler, clearer and filled with a new awareness.

The icing on the cake is that we will also become rich! We will become rich
internally and externally because the nature of each of the animal kingdoms is
multiplication and abundance. Such wealth is not only for ourselves but also for
a higher purpose – it is a purpose that unites humans and animals through a
single awareness and thus promises to restore a lasting state of harmony to our
beautiful planet.
