The alchemy of Dreams
Painting - Theodora Chrysopigi Efsthathopoulou
Every night, we travel in our sleep. We traverse bright places, dark places, familiar and unfamiliar places, and gather information. Our subconscious feeds us with clues—even evidence—about what actions we need to take in our waking life in order to be healthy, fulfilled, and prepared for the challenges we will encounter.
The problem is that these valuable signs—these unique dream messages—often go unnoticed. The modern, materialistic culture in which we live has trained us to function primarily with the left hemisphere of the brain, which calculates, organizes, and seeks proof. But there is also the right hemisphere, which believes in dreams, intuition, and magic. It can tune into that vibration that invites beauty, harmony, and blessings into our lives—because we ask for it, and because we deserve it.
If we manage to harmonize both our masculine and feminine minds, then we will be able to communicate with our dreams, reveal their messages, and see them come to life in our waking world.
There were civilizations that deified dreams. Foremost among them was Ancient Greece, with its Asklepieia and the practice of Oneiromancy, where dreams were treated as a primary form of healing. The worship of dreams and their interpretation is lost in the depths of prehistory. It is as ancient as the human race itself, deeply rooted in the limbic and reptilian brain—our subconscious.
More than ever, modern humans—threatened by war, poverty, artificial intelligence, and totalitarian governments—need to reconnect with their roots and remember who they truly are:
The breath of God within matter, a magical, luminous substance that flutters through space and time. It swims in the waters of life and connects with the precious gems of the soul through dreams, intuitions, and synchronicities.
It transforms. It evolves.
Dreams are the greatest alchemy of our spiritual evolution.
They are gateways to the multiple worlds of our existence, the path of acceptance and integration of the fragmented parts of ourselves. Dreams are healing. They are decompression, divination, and a conversation with God.
Dreams are the seeds of a magical, luminous self—a self that longs to manifest, to be cultivated, to shine, and to bring poetry and beauty into our lives.
The greatest gift we can offer ourselves is to fearlessly illuminate our dream journeys: to invite dreams, to honor them, and to exorcise nightmares when they arise.
We belong to the tribe of dreamers—those who believe that nothing can be achieved unless it is first dreamed, and that wholeness comes only when we illuminate every facet of who we are.
There is always room for a new, bright dream for all of us.
All we have to do is seek it, welcome it, and consciously dream it.
And then, the spirit of the dream will take root in our inner garden like a rose—blossoming, fragrant, and fertile—nurturing the rebirth of an eternal paradise.
A paradise that has always been there.
And now, with the eyes of our soul wide open, we can experience it. We can enjoy it!
A few words about the teacher...
Anais Filio Triantafillidou holds a Phd in Tourism. She is an author and dream teacher. For the past thirty years, she has been exploring and mapping dreams having trained with renowned teachers such as Robert Moss, Ariella Daly, and others.
She is also involved in shamanism, yin yoga, and the comparative study of prehistory with the aim of reconnecting with the feminine face of God, the Great Mother Goddess, who leads us to embrace our whole selves, both masculine and feminine, and to feel safe within the magical womb of Mother Nature.
Her ambition is to activate people’s connection with the healing power of dreams, to build a conscious bridge between the conscious and the unconscious, so that we can receive the gifts of sleep without fear and express the beauty of our soul with boldness and light, while maintaining our playful childlike spirit alive.
She is devoted to reawakening the ancient knowledge of the land that gave birth to Oneiromancy and the temples of Asclepius, allowing the myths of ancient Earth to inspire a new narrative- one that is brighter, fuller, and more poetic, both for ourselves and for others.
