The role of the dreamer is to provide much-needed motivation and inspiration, from within, as we pursue our desired outcomes. In cases of crisis, the dreamer role helps us redefine the guiding principles, values and keep us oriented to the big picture.
The dreamer’s role is defined by several important characteristics. The dreamer’s representational preference is Vision. Its focus orientation is ‘What’. Its gravitational approach is Toward. Its preferred time frame is long term future, exclusively. Its communication reference is internal (self). Its comparison mode is Match (review the relevant Meta-Programs for more).
Step 1: Select the active, desired, well-defined outcome you’re working with. #
Defining the issues and obstacles you’ve recently encountered in the pursuit of this outcome
Step 2: Initiate a downtime state. #
Step 3: Elicit the virtues of the dreamer: #
a. Ask “What?” What is most important to me about it? b. Seek Vision: What do I really want to create or manifest? What is the big picture, the wholesome and life affirming quest in pursuing this outcome? c. Physiology of the dreamer: eyes up, head up, straight look, eyes wide open, symmetrical and relaxed body posture, smooth movement, hands loose.
Step 4: Enter your timeline. #
Float above it. Lean slightly forward (toward).
Step 5: Remain above the present, then turn around on the timeline and look towards the past. #
Step 6: Consider the issues in the context of your personal history over a long period of time. #
a. If I hadn’t done X, what would have happened to me? How would I feel? b. If I hadn’t done X, what might not have happened to me (that did)? How would I feel differently? c. What bits of information seem to be in sync and related? Look for the matched stimuli.
Step 7: Float higher above the timeline, dissociate, and consider other people’s emerging timelines with yours, around the period when the obstacles started to bother you. #
a. Who is in line with my vision? b. Who else is going to benefit from the successful accomplishment of my outcome?
Step 8: Float back down to the present, turn around on the timeline, and face the future. #
Step 9: Consider the potential personal consequences in the future time frame, including changes in relationships, locations, resources, etc. #
a. If I chose to do X (a new choice), what would most likely happen to me? b. If I chose to do X (my new choice), what would most likely not happen to me at all? c. What bits of information seem to be in sync and related? Look for the matched stimuli.
