Just like the experiences in dreams act as symbolic gestures to illustrate an energetic pattern in your psyche, so do the moments in your waking life.
You can try experimenting with this by becoming aware of your dreaming eye and placing it over your eyes in the waking world.
Do this by imagining what you’re doing right now awake as a story you will soon tell as a dream that you dreamt. For example in this moment I might say “In my dream, I was typing out a blog post on pi about dreaming while awake in the parking lot of chili’s waiting for my grandma to show up so we could eat. She was getting on my ass about getting to chili’s on time or earlier and I showed up early and found out she hadn’t left yet. The air conditioning was blasting but it was still really hot. I hadn’t taken my straterra in 2 days so my mood was rlly weird and I felt frustrated and like I was doing everything wrong. Tried to stay positive like usual but felt like I couldn’t no matter how hard I tried because I didn’t have the normal amount of neurotransmitters. My right hip was really hurting and I was feeling kind of hopeless about it. Like i didn’t know how I could make it feel better.”
Now that you’re looking at your present moment through the lens of a symbolic gesture, what could you gather about its message or meaning?
For me, my waking dream moment reveals a theme of waiting to be nourished and powerlessness or futility. The air conditioning blasting yet not creating a cool environment. Getting on time to chili’s and still having to wait. Feeling like I wanted to be positive but having to accept that it wasn’t a typical day. My hip hurting but not being able to make it better. But even amidst the frustration, still choosing to express something creatively and passionately. Intuitively I feel that there’s a message to surrender and release resistance to the current flow, even if that’s slower or more frustrating than I anticipated. There are some things you can’t control. Also there’s an indication that conditions don’t have to be perfect for creativity to flow. This symbolic analysis of my waking dream is extremely helpful, validating, and resonant.
Try this out and see if it helps you.

sometimes you can’t actually do anything to help those you care about. maybe they don’t want your help or they’re beyond it or oblivious, maybe it’s not really your problem to solve despite your good intentions. if you’re a chronic people pleaser it’s tough to adopt this mindset but in the end it’ll be a relief to remember those boundaries and preserve yourself/sanity. sometimes it really is just “the thought” that counts
