I am currently gathering stories and ideas for a book on "Dreaming with Children"; do please feel free to email me at greater length with anything more you would like to share. I am also keenly interested in bringing the new dream playshops to kids and families in many environments, including school and pre-school settings, and would love to have practical suggestions. Again, feel free to talk to me on specifics by email. The time (more than ever) is NOW.Robert Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231870716685877709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-16380626122133951032009-05-17T20:06:00.000-04:002009-05-17T20:06:00.000-04:00Hi Robert,

I will be passing this information on to parents at our Montessori school and also do a mini dream workshops with the younger children. I already have done a lucid dreaming workshop with the middle schoolers that was well received. The most important thing they learned from it was to keep a dream journal and of course the teachers love for them to journal.<br /><br />Let me know how I can help and keep me updated.<br /><br />KristaKristaDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255690453062880300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-71726554999444181572009-05-16T21:18:00.000-04:002009-05-16T21:18:00.000-04:00I started writing down Phaelan's dreams when he wa...I started writing down Phaelan's dreams when he was around 3 yrs. old- first, in my own dream journal and then in a special journal I gave him with a wolf on the cover. He drew pen pictures (his "writings" to accompany the dreams)<br /><br />It was such a wonderful morning practice for us, not least because P. was far more tolerant of me writing down my dreams after we recorded his. This practice went on for some years, but eventually Phaelan decided that he didn't want to write dreams anymore. I think it had to do with choosing to do something unlike what his mom was doing. Now I keep that wolf journal with my library of dream journals, and Phaelan is very interested in looking through it whenever he comes across it. And though he no longer records his dreams (he is age 11 now), he often shares them with me-- and sometimes I can't help but write his dreams in my own dream journal ;)<br /><br />I think Carol's suggestions of having a bedtime "ritual" are so important! When P. was much smaller, we would end each day doing a "day review" sung to the melody of Brahms lullaby. I think this helped cast away the day residue and make room for dreaming.<br />Followed by songs and prayers, I always sent him off to the dreamtime with the safety of his guardian angels.<br /><br />I really hope that together we can join in Robert's awesome "Dreaming with Children" workshop-- that is if he doesn't resist this.Yiskahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023072806629399224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-61063151490542485962009-05-16T13:28:00.000-04:002009-05-16T13:28:00.000-04:00The instructions, the upcoming workshops and forth...The instructions, the upcoming workshops and forthcoming books - all wonderful, wise steps in helping families to welcome dreaming into their hearts and hearths. <br /><br />I'm sharing this blog essay with people I know who have kids.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02877662692937041007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-76384724564217753552009-05-14T17:08:00.000-04:002009-05-14T17:08:00.000-04:00I'm so excited about the dream play shops!

The list you're compiling is invaluable. Another idea, expressed in your narrative, is how important it is for adults to keep our own dream journals since children also learn by example.michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412276499240560211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-65487898033684593022009-05-14T16:48:00.000-04:002009-05-14T16:48:00.000-04:00This is very clear and simple advise to follow for...This is very clear and simple advise to follow for anyone nurturing our precious children! They are after all our future and the dreaming can help both child and adult find their way through the dreams of the night or day! The Teddy bear or other animal is essential for my own grandchildren!Thanks! Dream with light!

I have found that many parents deal with sleeping through the night issues with their kids, particularly younger kids, and that a good going to bed ritual is helpful. I can see where preparing for a positive dream experience is important also, with a good intention and with allies in place.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16526421154602530707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-18787683961989375462009-05-14T15:39:00.000-04:002009-05-14T15:39:00.000-04:00I love that the working list is so clear and conci...I love that the working list is so clear and concise for parents and other adults who engage with children. I also love the piece about being prepared to be shocked when children start to give creative expression to their dreams. This is positive "acting out" as opposed to the negative "acting out" that parents so much fear. As a former art teacher, current family therapist, and dreamer myself, this touches on so many good points. I'm listening, Carol Elde.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16526421154602530707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-23659852877372612852009-05-14T14:08:00.000-04:002009-05-14T14:08:00.000-04:00Clap, clap, clap!
