@Klara Vasutova happy that it resonated with you!

@Agatha Van Schalkwyk I am so glad you found it interesting. Hope you had a good sleep!

@Lindi Harmse coregulation for the win! I have heard people say that they miss the rhythmic sound of their partner snoring, so go figure! ☺️💜

@Lindi Harmse that's great! It's not an absolute must to be fully in-sync with a partner, but it definitely helps, especially if you have a family and/or business together. Plus, the added element of getting to fall asleep together, which supports co-regulation.

@Lindi Harmse just did a morning meditation with my partner, first one together, so was delighted to read this comment 💜💜

@Lindi Harmse how on earth did you find the PERFECT gif for this?? :)

@Lindi Harmse thanks for sharing! Do you want to play with a bit of dream interpretation (done exclusively by you!)? Here is the suggestion from Jungian dreamwork. Robert A. Johnson lays this out in Inner Work as two four-step methods. You can use them together: work the dream first, then go back into it with active imagination. Working the dream 1. Associations. Write the dream down. Take each image one at a time and note whatever it brings up for you. Always come back to the original image rather than following a chain of associations away from it. Keep the ones that carry a charge. 2. Dynamics. For each image, ask “What part of me is this?” Treat every figure and object as an aspect of your own psyche. Then look for where that part shows up in your actual life right now. 3. Interpretation. Put it together into a meaning. Johnson’s test is to prefer the reading that tells you something you didn’t already know. Be suspicious of readings that flatter you or put the blame on someone else. 4. Ritual. Do something small and physical to honour what the dream showed you: a walk, lighting a candle, a change in a habit. This is what makes it real rather than just an idea. Active imagination with a dream figure 1. Invitation. Sit quietly, call up a figure or scene from the dream, and let it come to life on its own. Don’t script it. 2. Dialogue. Talk to the figure and let it answer. Write the exchange down as it happens. Engage as yourself, with your own feelings and questions, rather than watching from a distance. 3. Ethical element. Bring your conscious values into the conversation. You listen to the figure, but you don’t hand it control. If it demands something that goes against who you are, you push back. 4. Ritual. Close by grounding what came out of it in a concrete act, same as with the dream. Would love to hear if you try any of this out!

@Lindi Harmse thanks for sharing! And that's really interesting because for a lot of people who chronically have trouble sleeping (which might not be you, in this case), waking up before their alarm is alarming (no pun intended :) ), and a sign of the exact opposite.
