You’re listening to the “Transform Your Life from the Inside Out” podcast. This
episode is a throwback episode from the original episode number 17, and the title of
that episode is, “How to Transform Every Area of Your Life While Sleeping.” Now,
I know most of us never really think about it that way, but you know what?
Sleeping. Yes, sleeping and dreaming. That’s your superpower. That’s how to get
everything you want in life. Because when you’re asleep, you are pure, unfettered
consciousness. When you are asleep, your subconscious mind, which does not sleep,
is constantly working. Your subconscious mind is a problem -solving mechanism.
And when you give your subconscious mind a problem in Dream Time because it is a
problem -solving mechanism, your subconscious mind goes to work to solve that problem
for you. So, if you’ve got problems, things you’d like to create, things, you know,
areas you’re stuck in life, and you would like to start solving your problems in
Dream Time, keep listening. Hi, I’m Jim Fortin, and you’re about to start
transforming your life from the inside out with this podcast. I’m widely considered
the leader in subconscious transformation and I’ve coached super achievers all around
the world for over 25 years. Here you’re going to find no raw motivation and no
hype because this podcast is a combination of brain science, transformational
psychology, and ancient wisdom all rolled into one to take your life to levels
you’ve never thought possible. If you’re wanting a lot more in life to feel better,
to heal, to have peace of mind, to feel powerful and alive, and to bring more
abundance and prosperity into your life, then this podcast is for you because you’re
going to start learning how to master your mind and evolve your consciousness. And
when you do that, anything you want then becomes possible for you. I’m glad you’re
here. So the first question I have for you is, what is dreaming?
Most people think, literally, that they just go to sleep at night. They dream and
their dreams are all about life events or stories or whatever. And then they wake
up and they go about their daily life. Most people think that it’s just something
that we do. But, you know, what I’ve noticed over the years is that people dream,
everyone dreams, you dream every single night, so every single day that you’re on
this planet, you dream. Many people don’t remember their dreams and they think that
they don’t dream, but everyone dreams unless you’ve had a particular brain injury. So
you dream every single day for a third of your life, yet most people have never
put a single thought into, “Well, what is dreaming? What is dream time, and how can
I use use Dreamtime to transform my life. To keep it simple, and I want to keep
this entire episode as simple as I can, but as functional and as applicable as I
can. But Dreamtime is your connection to the universe.
Dreamtime is when you connect with everything that there is in the universe available
to you. As a matter of fact, your entire life, your entire life is a dream.
Because see, most people think that they have, they have dreaming as black and
white. They think that when they are awake, then they’re not dreaming. And when they
are asleep in dream time, they are dreaming. And the reality is, is that your life
is always connected the consciousness, yet when we’re not dreaming when we are awake,
which you’re listening to this right now when you’re awake, you literally have
compartmentalized your entire cosmic ability by saying, “Okay, right now I am in my
waking consciousness, and then when I go to sleep, I’m going to be in dream time.”
And most people never even think, “Well, what is the possibility of dream time? What
is dream time, and how can I use it?” And truth, dream time and waking time are
the same. And that’s gonna be, and it can be really hard for a lot of people to
get their mind around, but simply understanding the difference between waking time and
dream time, and we’re not gonna go into that here because that can be a really
extensive subject and it can go really deep. But most people think that they are
literally like A and B. You’re awake is A, and you’re sleeping is B, when in truth
there is only A, in that you are a conscious dreaming being at all times,
it’s simply a matter of awareness to actually understand when you’re not awake,
understanding how to master dream time. And like I said, we’re going to actually,
you know, we’re going to start that here. If I were to do audios on this or a
training program, literally I don’t even know how long it would take me to do it.
I mean, it would be, you know, minimum. I don’t even know, like an entire day
program or more than that. But what I’m going to do in this episode is give you
some very specific things that you can start doing to start using your dream time
to create whatever it is that you want in life. You know, something else that
people never look at, and this is a bit more esoteric is that your entire life,
ponder this, your entire life is a dream, dreamed by the dreamer.
You are the dreamer. So as I said, this can be a very advanced subject.
But what we’re going to do is we’re going to start at the lower level of the
subject matter. Because this material, even the simple stuff, and this is nothing to
do with you, it’s just because you’ve never been taught, is even this very simple
episode is going to be new to a lot of people, because when we’re born, no one
ever says, “Hey, you know what? You’re going to dream a third of your life in
dream time when you are, air quote, asleep. Let me teach you how to use dream
time.” Now, I don’t know about you, but I wasn’t taught that. I learned this from
a shaman, and You know what? I bet you have probably also not learned most of
this. So that being said, most of us never think about the art of dreaming,
meaning what is this amazing art that happens every single day in our lives?
So as I said, we’re going to keep this simple. And in this episode, you’re going
to start learning how to use dream time in conjunction with your subconscious mind
to create whatever it is that you want in life. I wanted to say when you master
this, you will truly be a powerful, spiritual, cosmic being.
But the reality is, is I don’t know that most people will ever master this in this
lifetime. What I’m gonna share with you, you can master that, but when it comes to
the art of truly mastering the depth of dream time, that’s probably beyond the scope
of most people on the planet. And it’s just, it’s colossal if most people truly
knew that even dreams had doorways and gateways and dreams, and we go through doors
and gateways of consciousness and levels of awareness, even in dream time, we will
not be talking about that in this particular episode. Also, and I, you know, I’m
probably going to use it a lot in the episodes. When I use the word “spiritual,” I
do not mean that in any kind of dogmatic way because so many people actually even,
you know, many times spiritualists think, “Well, you know what? I’m a spiritualist
and I’m not into the dogma of air quote organized religion.” But yet religion is
anything, the definition is anything that you believe in strongly and many people
actually take their spirituality and make it religion without even recognizing you’re
making it religion and they actually are criticizing people who are into religion but
they are also into religion without even knowing it. So when I use the word
spiritual, it’s just intended to mean that there is some cosmic life force that
flows through your body. You have some air quote again, spirit,
Hence the word spiritual. So to be very clear, I do not mean the word spiritual in
any kind of dogmatic or religious way Let me put it this way when you learn to
work of dream time You are truly using the inborn skills that and tools that you
have available as Truly a cosmic being and I’m not going to spend too much time on
that because I mentioned it before, but everyone on this planet is a cosmic being
because you know what, you came somewhere before you got to the planet and you’re
going to leave this planet and go somewhere else, which truly means that you are an
infinite cosmic being. And when you start working in dream time, now you’re out of
your what I call 3D world, meaning your tangible world around you on a daily basis
and you’re working with higher function of mind and higher energy. I said a little
earlier about dreaming everyone dreams and many people will say no, no, I don’t
dream No, you do dream. It’s that you don’t remember your dreams And as a matter
of fact as you’re going to learn here You can even command your subconscious mind
to assist you in remembering your dreams But we’ll get to that in just a bit the
only people that don’t dream and some newer research is starting to show this or
has shown this, shown this, is the people that don’t dream are people that have
suffered some kind of traumatic brain injury. Otherwise, whether or not you think you
dream or you don’t, if you think you don’t, unless you’ve had a traumatic brain
injury, guess what? You dream. Also, and I’ve said this the third time, there are
many, many levels of dreaming. In my advanced coaching programs, we talk about the
multiple levels of dreaming. But for this, the purpose of this episode, we’re going
to keep it really simple and we’re going to talk about programming your dreams,
programming your subconscious mind, using your dreams to program your subconscious mind
and deciphering and understanding the messaging in your dreams. We’re not going to go
super deep on this because again, this is a podcast episode and you know, I don’t
have eight hours to share this with you, but what you’re going to learn even in
this episode is going to be powerful enough to quite literally change your life when
you use it exactly as I’m going to teach you to use it and share with you how to
use it in this episode. A lot of people don’t know this, but many of the great
achievers actually use Dreamtime to, you know, to discover things they discovered or
things they invented. it’s been documented that Ford used, you know, Henry Ford used
Dreamtime. Einstein is documented to have used or said that he used Dreamtime. And
especially Nikola Tesla has said that he’s used Dreamtime. Even,
you know, as simple but yet very powerful as Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney said
that he got all the melody for the song yesterday. Now, I don’t know if this is
true or not, But I read the song yesterday is playing 24 hours a day continuously,
meaning it’s playing somewhere in the world every second of the day. Is that true?
I don’t know, but I read it. But you know what? I think I read it on the
Internet, so it must be true. And I’m obviously kidding. But it makes sense. I
mean, with 7 billion people or 7 plus billion people and all the radio stations and
everything else we have, it would make sense that it’s playing 24 24 /7, yet Paul
McCartney said that he got the melody in a dream. He woke up, went to the piano,
and penned the song yesterday based upon the melody that he got in Dreamtime. For
me, Dreamtime is the most important part of my day, and actually a lot of people
discount Dreamtime. I remember reading this Facebook thread, and this person said,
literally what they said is I’m an entrepreneur. You know, I work my days away,
etc. I don’t sleep a lot. Sleep is a waste of time. Sleep when you die.
There’s an extreme amount of ignorance in that comment because as you’re going to
discover and when you start using what I share with you that your dream time is
going to be the most valuable part of your day because you can use it to create
anything that you want. For me, Dreamtime is the most valuable part of my day.
And I literally, and I mean literally, I use my Dreamtime and the guidance that I
get in Dreamtime because I use it for problem solving, which I’ll share with you in
just a bit. Whatever guidance that I get in Dreamtime, even if it’s contradictory to
what I think analytically, which means in my waking mind right now, I will always
go with my Dreamtime guidance. Why? Because my Dreamtime guidance is more valuable
and more powerful than my waking conscious analytical prefrontal cortex thinking.
I 100 % trust the inner guidance that I get in Dreamtime.
As I said a few times, I want to keep this simple, but your entire life is a
dream. See, right now, you think that you’re awake, whatever you’re doing, wherever
you are in the world listening to this podcast, you think that you’re awake. But
have you ever considered that you’re actually more awake as a cosmic being in dream
time than you are waking time? Because see, right now in your waking time,
you’re trapped, quite literally. When you do not learn to use higher function of the
mind, and I’m sure that I will create some episodes on this, using what’s called
your sense, S -E -N -S -E. Not your common sense, but your higher sense, what people
call your sixth sense. There are ways to develop and use that. But for the most
part, most of humanity is trapped So the bag of skin they’re walking around in,
meaning your body, and they’re trapped by their prefrontal cortex thinking, meaning
their analytical thinking. And their entire life is trapped in a little bitty box,
not fully recognizing that we are infinite cosmic beings. And then they never think,
“Well, if I’m an infinite cosmic being, how? How can I tap into that, and how can
I use that?” So, in dream time, the reason that I said that my dream time, you
know, my dream time learning or my dream time messages or whatever they might be,
they’re more valuable to me than my 3D thinking. And the reason why is because,
see, in your 3D thinking, you’re trapped by your conscious analytical mind. Most
people, for the most part, they’re also ways out of that. But let’s just say that
most people are trapped with their 3D analytical, prefrontal cortex cortex, brain and
mind. Actually, mind is not brain -based. Science can’t find the mind.
The mind exists outside the brain, even though the brain is a medium for the mind.
But let me put it this way. When you are in dream time, consider this. When you
are in dream time, you have access to higher universal mind.
When you’re In dream time, you are completely unfettered consciousness that is not
encumbered by your 3D analytical thinking mind. And to simplify that even more is
when you’re in dream time, you are not trapped by the belief systems that you have
learned to condition yourself to believe over the years. So I’ll say it again, in
dream time, you are pure unfettered consciousness. And when you actually get that and
you start working from okay, I am pure unfettered consciousness and I can connect
with divine mind. I can connect with universal mind. I can connect with the
universe. Now, when you work from that place, you can pull every answer and every
bit of wisdom that you need into your mind via dream time. You know, to keep this
As simple as possible, you can even use your unconscious mind, which works with you
in dream time, to solve your problems. See, your unconscious mind is a problem,
well, as many things, but it’s a problem -solving mechanism as well as all the other
things that it does for you. And you can use your unconscious, by giving your
unconscious mind a command, you can use it in dream time to solve your problems.
This is where the old adage came from, you know, people say, “I want to sleep on
it.” Well, the reason they want to sleep on it, and they don’t know this, but the
reason they want to sleep on it is more times than not, they want to see what
comes to them later, even though they’re not thinking about, “Hey, what’s going to
come to me later?” So, one of the biggest things that I use Dreamtime for, and
I’ll give you an example in a moment and show you how to do it, is to use
Dreamtime to solve any obstacle that you might might have. You already know that you
can instruct your unconscious mind to bring you answers in Dreamtime. You can
instruct your unconscious mind to actually even heal your body in Dreamtime. You can
actually use your unconscious mind as well to bring you higher and inner guidance
via Dreamtime. To keep this simple, I know I keep saying this because If you worked
with like someone like a shaman and you could see the expansiveness of dream time,
it becomes mind boggling. And I think you’ve already recognized that my purpose in
this podcast, every podcast is to give you transformational applicable actionable
things that you can use to start improving your life with each and every episode.
So let’s look at the three minds. It is believed that we have three minds.
It can be more complex than this, but I keep saying over and over, is that we’ll
keep it simple, is that you have the conscious mind. The conscious mind is the
analytical part of you listening right now. It is believed by scientists that the
conscious mind is actually functions through the left brain. It’s analytical, it’s
rational, it’s linear, it processes language, it is the seed of short -term memory,
well, at least the left -hand side of the brain. And it’s believed that the
unconscious mind operates through the right -hand side of the brain. So, you know,
you probably learned from me by now, is that the conscious mind is only 5 % of
your mental function, whereas most of our mental function, the other 95 % is
completely unconscious. Then we go from there to what Carl Jung called the collective
or the super conscious. Meaning that there is a divine mind. Call it the quantum
field, the quantum dimension. Call it the quantum wave, whatever you want. You can
even call it God if you want. But it’s believed that, and it’s known by the
ancients and science actually proves a lot of this, that the universe is
consciousness. So what we can do is we can use our conscious thinking analytical
mind to direct our unconscious mind to interact with the universal mind.
So, for example, a way to do that, and again, I’ll give you a quick example, then
I’ll give you some better ones a little later on in this podcast, is you could
say, “You know what? I need an answer to X, Y, Z, and I’m asking my subconscious
mind to go out in the universe, and find that answer and bring it back to me.
Quite literally, using your unconscious mind to connect with the divine mind is quite
literally like using a cosmic galactic Google to go get your answers for you.
And if you don’t believe me, that’s fine. Because you know what, for those of you
that do listen to me and do start playing and start practicing what I’m going to
share with you here, If you’re like most people, very quickly you’re going to be
surprised at how many epiphanies and ah -has and things, you know, how things start
happening and showing up in your life. Whether you use the content, that’s entirely
up to you. I know I’ve mentioned before, there is an ancient text.
It was published around, I think, the early 1900s, but it’s believed that the text
is thousands of years old,
And the book, the book’s called the Kabalian, K -Y -B -A -L -I -O -N. I was turned on
to the Kabalian literally 25 years ago. And the Kabalian is, there’s what’s called
the Seven Cosmic Laws in the Kabalian. And the first cosmic law is that everything
in the universe is divine mind, meaning everything is mental.
And when you start actually exploring that and looking into that, you recognize that
you can quite literally tap in to everything. And that being said, what’s becoming
obvious to you is that you can use the universe to create for you.
That’s why you know a bigger part of my message is stop the nonsense that a lot
of people teach, like, you’ve got to go out there and you’ve got to work until
your eyeballs bleed and you’ve got to work yourself under the ground. And the only
way to get ahead is hard work. That is sheer nonsense. And even science proves it.
I’m not going to go into it here, but there’s a scientific experiment, a physics
experiment called the double slit experiment. Double slit experiment.
And what that experiment demonstrates is in physics, and I’ll keep this really simple
because I can’t understand the whole experiment, but I know the outcome, is that we
as observers of the universe affect the material universe. We affect what happens
with electrons, neutrons, and protons by what we observe and what we affect and what
we expect, not affect, what we expect to happen with electrons, neutrons, and
protons, which basically means is that we can collapse what’s called the wave,
meaning the quantum field into the particle, which is the outcome that you want. We
can actually create what we want by using the universe with our intention and our
will. Another example here would be problem solving. I think a lot of people that
listen to this podcast, I may have a lot of entrepreneurs following, and a lot of
all over the years have read the classic book, “Thinking Grow Rich” by Napoleon
Hill. Now, I was told this story by a very smart friend of mine who was very,
very well read. I do not know if it’s true, but I’ve had similar experiences
myself, so I can say, “I don’t know if that story is true, but I know that it
could be true because similar things have happened to me, and they’re going to
happen to you also once you start using the technique I’m going to give you in
just a bit.” So the story goes is that Napoleon Hill did not have a title for
“Think and Grow Rich,” which again is a classic book. And his publisher wanted to
name the book “Use Your Noodle to Make Bootle.” And Napoleon Hill did not want to
use that title. So what he did is he actually went to bed, he gave a command to
his subconscious mind, he told the subconscious mind to bring him the title of the
book. And he woke up, and it could be a day or two, which we’ll talk about in
just a minute, but he actually got the title through Dreamtime, through giving a
command to his subconscious mind. And the title was “Think and Grow Rich.” Let me
share with you how I’ve used this in my own life. I mean, I use it every single
day, but I remember this is something very tangible that I can share with you. Many
years ago, probably 15 years, I don’t know, but many years ago, before I went to
bed, I said to my subconscious mind, which back then I called it SUB, which is,
you know, just short for subconscious mind. I said SUB, show me where my target
market is and show me where I can attract more money. I asked the question that
specifically, that directly, basically sub, “Hey, go out in the universe, show me
where my target market is, “show me where I can attract more money.” Simple as
that. And I went to bed knowing that the answer would come to me. That very same
night, I woke up about three o ‘clock in the morning and what popped into my head,
boom, was American Airlines Magazine. Now, this was back before iPads and iPhones and
all of that, this was back when we actually would read the magazine. You know, you
hop on the airplanes and there’s like an airline magazine in the back of the seat.
So, I woke up and American Airlines Magazine was in my mind. I went to the
computer, you know, I went to the American Airlines site, I looked at the media kit
and I’m like, “Oh my gosh, there’s my target market.” And In that target market,
demographics, for example, I tend to attract college -educated people, professionals,
and people making at least $100 ,000 per year. Well, looking at the American Airlines
media kit demographic, 89 % of their fliers are college -educated making over $100 ,000
per year, Monday through Friday. And it might even be the weekends, I don’t
remember, but I know is 89%. I’m like, “Oh my God, there’s my target market.” So
then what I did is they hopped off and I started running full -page ads in American
Airlines, which were back then, and I guess they still are, were really pricey.
They’re $15 ,000 per ad. And I ran a full -page ad for a product that I now give
away called Zero Effort Selling, which is a persuasion and influence product.
It’s a subconscious persuasion and influence product. And I ran a full -page ad and
I didn’t get the product response that I wanted, but there was a guy who read the
ad who reached out and he said, “You know what? I read your ad in American
Airlines Magazine.” And he says, “I want to work with you. Come to find out.” He
was an extremely successful national real estate coach. I mean, he was extremely well
connected. And he said, “I want to do co -coaching programs with you. So that very
first year working with him, I made $120 ,000 a year, I believe. And every single
year since then until about 2016, until I completely stopped coaching in the real
estate field, I made over $100 ,000. So over the course of about six years, I
probably made, I don’t know, $750 ,000, a million bucks over the course of those six
years. And That all came from that one request to my subconscious mind to bring me
my target market. Then I brought American Airlines Magazine, then I advertised in it,
then I met this guy named John, who was a real estate coach. He plugged me into
the industry. I started getting a lot of traction in the industry, and I made a
lot of money all from that one request. What I can do, you can do.
What you can also do is, and I’ll give you the exact wording in a moment, is you
can ask your unconscious mind to bring answers to you, which is what I just did,
but you can ask for any answer you want, like, and you can call your subconscious
mind whatever you want, but sub, sub, where do I find the right place to live?
Sub, what kind of job is the best kind of job for me? Or anything,
you know, I’m trying to pick between city A and city B. Which city is in my
highest good and my best interest? You can use your subconscious mind to actually
answer any question about your life or anything in life that you can possibly think
of. Or you can also say, “Subconscious mind, I want to have a dream tonight.
I request to have a dream, and in that dream is going to be my solution to X,
Y, Z problem. And do not be shocked if that night or in a day or so,
you either have a dream about the problem you’re looking for a solution to, or you
actually have an aha, and you’re like, “Oh my gosh, why didn’t I see that? That is
my obvious answer.” So it may even come in the form of an epiphany. So like
Napoleon Hill, or like me, or the millions of other people that have learned how to
use their subconscious mind and dream time, you can ask for anything that you want
and then be confident and know that when you ask, the universe in some way at some
point will deliver the answer to you. You can also ask, as I said earlier, you can
ask for healing. You can actually, and a great way to approach this, is that you
ask your subconscious mind to give you dreams and in the dreams you can ask a
couple of things one would be how do I heal and I’m looking for answers or a more
powerful way is to ask your subconscious mind that you have dreams that you are
operative word already healed because when you dream and you’re dreaming about healing
what happens in the mind at that level of consciousness will also happen in your
body. Okay, this is really important, just like I gave you my example with American
Airlines Magazine. When you ask, you want to, it’s very, very simple formula.
You want to ask clearly as you possibly can. It’s better to say,
you know, sub, which city is better for me? Boston or New York City.
And then what I would also do is give my subconscious mind an option C. Which city
is better for me to move to? Boston, New York City, or is there a better city for
me? Now you’re giving the unconscious mind the opportunity to give you an answer
that’s at a higher level for you that you haven’t even thought about. So you wanna
ask your question clearly. You want to ask your question specifically, and then
finally, go to bed confidently with the intention that you know the answer will
come. And to be a little repetitive, it can come in a dream, it can come in an
epiphany, it can come in a “sign,” it can come in a conversation that you have
with somebody tomorrow, the example that I just gave you. Tomorrow, somebody could
call and say, “You know what? I’ve been thinking of going to Boston for the day.
Do you want to go with me? Boom. There’s your answer. The universe is reflecting
that answer back to you by things that are happening in your external life. I also
want to point out that your answer, for me, they come very, very quickly because
I’ve been doing this for 25 years with the assistance of a shaman. I am a dreamer,
plain and simple. I am a dreamer and I’m very, very adept. We all have gifts. We
all have talents. One of my talents is to be able to use Dreamtime this lifetime.
That’s why I said earlier that anything that I want, I toss to Dreamtime,
and when I get answers in Dreamtime, I trust them 100 % more than anything that I’m
thinking analytically. Your answer might not come right away. So look for it in
terms of signs, signals, omens, epiphanies, and maybe even in the dream where the
answer comes to you in the dream, but make no mistake, when you ask, the answer
will come to you in some way. Something else I want to point out is most people
never even think about their dreams. Your dreams are metaphors. They’re metaphors for
something that is currently at some level of consciousness in your life. When most
people look at their dreams, they only look at the dream and they only look at the
content of the dream. That’s only a fraction of the picture. What you want to look
at is you want to look at the content of the dream, meaning what you dreamt about,
and you want to look at the context of the dream, meaning what is happening in the
content. So your content is plain and simple what happened in the dream,
meaning I was driving down the road and I dreamt that I you know I dreamt that I
was driving down the road and I had a flat tire. The context is the bigger picture
of the dream is what were you driving? Where were you driving? What time of day
was it? Who were you with? When you had the flat tire, were you also listening to
a song on the radio that you remember in the dream? If you had a flat tire, did
you pull over? Did no one help you? And many people pull over to help you to take
that a little further. Look at this. So I said, you know, what is the context? Was
there a song on the radio? And was that song on the radio highway to hell? And
then, you know what, you’re consciously thinking something else, you know, you’re
driving, you’re driving, let’s say you’re driving away from a business meeting. And
then you have a dream and you have the song on the radio and you’re not feeling
good about the business meeting. And then on the or the song is Highway to Hell.
Well, that is content and context. And for me, I would really, really pay attention
to that message because guess what? What the universe is telling me is that business
relationship is the highway to hell. You know, another example here, let’s say that
you’re in a dream, you have a flat tire. Most people just say, well, you know
what? I had a dream and I had a flat tire in it. But let’s say in your dream
that You have a flat tire and no one pulls over to help you. Then what you want
to look at is, “Okay, do I find that in my life I work from that anytime I’m in
trouble, there’s no one there to help me?” So as you can see, the dream is not
just about the content. The dream is more so about the context. Who’s going on?
What’s in the background? What’s the weather? Who are you talking to? what are the
particulars of the conversation. When you look at the context and you match it to
the content, many times it’s very easy to see what’s happening. I had a student of
mine recently said, “You know what, Jim? I had a dream and she told me about
somebody in it and she told me the person was using a hot glue gun in the dream.”
And so that’s as far as she went, was content. And I told her to ask, “What does
a hot glue gun represent?” Now, how does that representation tie back to the person
using the hot glue gun? Because the unconscious mind is made in the association for
you, and you have to look at what the association is. So let’s say, for example,
a hot glue gun means danger to her. Well, then what the unconscious mind is doing
is associating danger to that person in some way or something about them. And I do
not mean generally as if that person is in entire danger, then you look even
further. Well, how could that person be a danger? Maybe they’re trying to buy a
house they can’t afford. Maybe they’re getting into a relationship that’s a bad
relationship for them. So you always want to look at both. You want to look at the
dream. You want to look at the content. You want to look at the context. And then
what you want to do is best you possibly can is make an interpretation and actually
understand what’s the relationship between the content and the context. Many times you
will have significant ah -has. You know, another example is, let’s say that you have
a dream and you’re making cookies. Something very simple and banal. And then what
you do when you’re dreaming, you look in the cupboard and you know what? You forgot
to buy sugar. You don’t have any sugar. And then you’re like, well, you know what?
Okay, let me pull out the rest of my ingredients. Maybe I’ll run to the store and
buy sugar. And then you look in the refrigerator and you don’t have any eggs. So
the dream, the content is that you’re making cookies, but the context is that you
didn’t even prepare and have the right ingredients in the house to make the cookies.
And the bigger message is, you look at your external life, the question that I
would ask me if that happened is okay, where in my life am I wanting to do
something, and I’m not prepared to do it. So I need to think through what I need
to do to make this successful, and I need to make sure that I am prepared as best
possible. Now I come to that conclusion. Why? Because I got the message in
Dreamtime. You know another way to use Dreamtime is for obscure metaphors.
One dream that I had, I was being attacked and I was being coiled around,
there’s this massive 30 -foot anaconda snake. Number one is I do not like snakes,
but it had wrapped around my body and I had the head of the anaconda, the head of
it in my hands. And I had both hands around the mouth, squeezing as tightly as I
could to keep the anaconda from opening its mouth. Now, like I said, I’ve been
doing this a lot of years and anaconda and snake are a representation of ego.
So for me, the message was, is where am I being trapped? And where am I being
suffocated by my ego? And you know what, Jim? You need to go look in the mirror
because you need to look at where you’ve been egotistical or where you’re living
from your ego and you need to actually start, you know, shucking away that layer of
your ego. So it can be, you know, it can be metaphorical as well. So as you
already know, you can use dream time for anything, any life area that you could
possibly want, any problem where you, you know, you’re looking for an outcome.
Healing, you can use dream time by directing your subconscious mind to either dream
the dream where you see the answer or you direct your subconscious mind to actually
bring you the answer. Two separate things here but very similar is one, you can ask
the dream and get the answer or you can just say, “Hey, Sub, in dream time, let
me wake up and let me have the answer or let me have an epiphany or let me have
an aha.” But to keep this as simple as possible, it’s plain and simple as just
asking your subconscious mind to bring you the answer or the solution or the outcome
for whatever you want. You ask, you set your intention Intention basically means I
want this to happen. I am willing this to happen and I know this will happen. When
you do that, you may be shocked at how quickly you start getting answers. And let’s
say, for example, that you’re not getting answers, then what you could do, a couple
of more things here, is let’s say you don’t remember your dreams. Well, use your
subconscious mind and say, “Hey, Sub, subconscious mind.” You know what? I want to
start remembering my dreams. So in the morning, when I wake up, I’m instructing you
to have me recall the dreams that I had tonight before. So you can use it for
something as simple as that. If you’re not dreaming things that you want to dream
or the answers aren’t coming quick enough, you can use your subconscious mind and
say, “Hey, Sub, can you make the answers more clear to me in a way that I would
understand the answers?” I think you’re probably getting by now is that all that you
have to do is instruct your unconscious mind to dream what you want to, you know,
what you want to dream with a solution or to bring you an answer. And if you’re
not getting it in the way that you want or you’re not getting it, then instruct
your unconscious mind to bring it to you in a different way. Okay. As I said
earlier, I use it and I’ve given you some concrete examples. Tesla’s used it and I
am definitely not Nikola Tesla and Paul McCartney and Einstein and Henry Ford, and
probably even people like Elon Musk. I don’t know. But your takeaway is that you
can use your subconscious mind and your dreams to heal, create, and manifest anything
that you want. Also, make it a practice. What you want to do is every night before
bed, before you click out the light, is just go for a little exercise like I just
shared with you. You can pick anything that you want is, well, not is, but start
using it every night and start practicing. When you start practicing this, you will
get results a lot quicker. Okay, so that wraps up this episode on dreaming. I
thought it’d be a lot shorter, but I know me and I tend to go for a while. All
right, next episode on Monday is a question that was sent in. And you know,
it’s in the show notes and everywhere else, I believe it’s in the show notes and
it’s in the outro of the podcast. If you have any questions, send them to support
@jimforton .com. We are here to, I’m here to answer your questions. So the question
on Monday is this, and this will apply to a lot of people listening. And the exact
question is, is I am attracting clients who don’t pay me and I wanna stop this as
much as possible. Then this person goes on the right. I guess I realize that if
it’s happening too often, therefore, by the way, that’s a choppy grammar. I’m reading
your email. If my reality is a looking glass to my habits and self -image, how can
I change this? The pattern is also stopping me from breaking through revenue
barriers. So if you’re having problems breaking through revenue barriers, specifically,
If you’re having problems asking people for money or getting valued for your
services, then whatever you do, make sure that you download and you listen to next
Monday’s podcast. All right. Thanks for listening and do what you can to make it an
awesome day today. Take care. Bye -bye.
