allow yourself to dream
get in darling, we’re going dreaming.
many people are familiar with visualization but have you heard about dreaming? dreaming is simply the action of acting as if. it’s very similar to visualization except it’s a bit deeper and allows you to immerse yourself in the frequency of what it is that you desire. being that a main component of manifestation is that you must be an energetic match for your desires this activity is a fun way to bring fourth your manifestations.
the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
I was introduced to the concept of dreaming last year when I moved to atlanta. I met this guy that shared with me that he was taking his daughter’s “ dreaming”. I was so intrigued so I had him explain; he told me how he takes his daughters to luxury car dealerships and lets them pick out cars and has them sit in the driver’s seat and act as if the car is theirs. he said, “ it’s something about the leather and seeing their faces light up”. he also expressed how he believed that doing this at a young age exposed his girls to things and experiences that they wouldn’t know about otherwise, creating normalcy for them. I was so inspired and vowed to do this for my future children.
after learning about dreaming I couldn't stop thinking about it and realized it was something I had already been doing. one of my favorite things to do is go to places that align with who I am dreaming to become. my granny once told me “it’s just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as it is a poor man, so make sure you go where the rich go” this comment stuck with me, and ever since I have been making the conscious effort to immerse myself in environments that are in alignment with who I am trying to becoming instead of where I am currently. I believe that this conscious decision has been a major key to my success in life thus far.
one of the most beautiful things about this life is our freedom of choice. we get to choose how we spend our days and who we associate with and it all makes up who we become. the action of dreaming will help you cultivate the life that you see for yourself. here are ideas of ways to start dreaming on a regular basis:
go to restaurants where your future self would go: even if you can only afford one cocktail or appetizer being in close proximity to like-minded individuals is a game-changer.
dressing for the job you want versus the one you have: when you look good you feel good so make the effort to dress up like who you want to be it will improve your confidence tenfold.
touring apartments/ homes you wish to live in: this is one of my all-time favorite things to do. even if the building is out of your budget going and experiencing what it would be like to live there will help raise your vibration.
these are just a few of the ways that I dream and can be applicable to just about anyone in any situation. I encourage you to try these out or come up with some ways that make sense to your specific situation either way it goes, allow yourself to dream and watch the you’ll manifest as a result.
