Natural corridors in the wilderness ensure safe passage for animals moving from one ecosystem to the next. With increasing development, natural corridors are destroyed, endangering countless species. We, too, have lost our way in the wilderness. We have forgotten, as a people, how to communicate with our wild aspects that speak to us in symbols, images, intuitions, and night stories. And so, we have forgotten the way to communicate with the natural world, instead reacting in fear and increasing acts of personal and collective devastation and control.
Where are the hidden passages that will lead us to reclaiming our inner and collective wilderness? Dreams are one natural corridor between the eco-systems of our daily lives and the hidden night theater of our psyche and soul.
Dreams come to us in a mysterious, and forgotten language. Because of this, we often can’t immediately receive the gift of the dream and assume it is meaningless. Dreams listened to and honored offer the possibility of reconnecting us to personal, communal, and spiritual wisdoms.
In ancient times, women were the oracles, the dreamers, the guides through the natural corridors. Let us come together as our ancestors did and share our dreams with patience, honor and gratitude ~ letting their gifts and meanings unfold and emerge in their natural rhythms.
