THE DREAM EXERCISE – TAKING A MENTAL PORTRAIT

Posted by Joan Hanger

THIS IS A DREAM EXERCISE

– YOU MUST TAKE A MENTAL PORTRAIT

 

Imagine you are a photographer standing on a hillside, and about to take a picture across a valley of the scene on the opposite side. Set up your tripod, look through the view finder and focus the camera. Get ready to release the shutter, and then you watch as a figure walks into the scene and leans upon a gate or a fence looking across at you.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????

There is something familiar about the other person… You recognise with astonishment that it is you yourself.  Immediately, you find that you are the figure, looking across at a photographer on the hillside, who is about to take a picture.

You realise that there is something familiar about the photographer: it is yourself. Immediately, you find yourself once more on the hillside, preparing to take a picture of the scene opposite, which includes a figure nonchalantly leaning on a fence or a gate watching you.

Allow this switching between the photographer and the figure to take place several times. Finally, become the photographer, and watch as the figure opposite turns around, walks away and disappears from view.  Take a picture of the empty scene, and feel your consciousness firmly located back within yourself.

Once you begin to understand a Dream Exercise you will become more adept at it – takes practice – after all!
