Waterfall Cave

"The emotions escaped my body and were in the form of a liquid like oil in the water with a rainbow-like colour to it. Slowly moving up to the surface of the ocean and dissipating into the air."

This participant came to Guided Dreaming carrying the weight of trauma, abuse, and grief—particularly from the past five years. They had been slowly clearing negative emotions from their body, and this session was an extension of that healing.

During their underwater waking dream, they began by entering a pool at the bottom of a waterfall, swimming through a cave that led to a lighted path to the ocean.

They were not alone.

"My companion that was always with me in this dream was my cat that I lost over 2 years ago. He laid on my chest the entire time. He gave me much comfort."

Dolphins and whales swam around them, bringing peace and safety. Then came the octopus.

"The octopus was very large. It was a reddish rose colour and it was playful and let me play with it. It made a bubble, surrounding me."

Inside the bubble, they let go.

"The emotions escaped my body and were in the form of a liquid like oil in the water with a rainbow-like colour to it. Slowly moving up to the surface of the ocean and dissipating into the air."

The insight?

"I've had much trauma, abuse and grief in my life. Through that experience I've gotten so much closer to God. I think the octopus was God surrounding me and holding me, telling me He will guide me, love me and show me the way."

They felt a tiny sadness when the octopus left—but it was replaced by a deep, relaxing, positive feeling.

"The sadness of the octopus leaving was reiterating my love for Him, but the relaxing positive feeling was knowing He will always hold my hand."

They left the session committed to making this a regular practice—especially when overwhelmed by the past or fear of the future.

"This will help me continue to purge and to be more present."

That's the power of dreaming while awake.
