Dream Journal in Monte Rio

From 1977-1981, I attended dream workshops with Lila Forest. Also, I attended a class with her teacher, Jeremy Taylor. This page starts there, but continues over the years. Memoirs include dream journaling and dreams with dreamwork.

Dream Journaling

In the Dream Index. each left page is entitled Day Dream. Each right page is entitled Night Dream. Each line notes the main events of the day, the date, and the dream title(s). The dream index helps track major events over time. We covered our dream books with collages of our dream images. Here are the parts of my Dream Index cover with a few notes (copyrights of any materials used in these collages belong to their respective creators):

• Front cover has two ovals over Mt. Shasta, solar flares, a Viking ship, iridescence, circles, and colors. The quote is, "Life is nothing more, nothing less than the structural arrangement of certain molecules". Except for dreams, I muse.
• Back cover has a seer, sphere, singer over ocean in redwood forest ferns.
• Inside front cover has a mandala by Rainbow, a landscape by Arwin Steinke, lenticular cloud over Mt. Shasta, self-portrait tintype photo by Gordon Adelman, and a cartoon of Alice in Wonderland.
• Inside back cover has the famous overwhelming waves of life, a Native American leader, Jeremy Taylor, Lila Forest, a Zen monk tearing up the scripture of dogma, a "Minneapolis" scout emblem from my son (and hometown), and a valentine from my daughter.

The Circle of 9 event, dreaming a Major Event of Transformation, led to an important drawing via its dream journaling.

Later years

A dream starts in my journal. But a dream that results in artwork might show up in other sections, or here. I add them, last dream first.
