Now let’s begin the art of dream fulfilling.  One of the easiest ways to begin is by focusing your thoughts. Simply spend some time contemplating how you could help the dreams of others come true around you.  A woman I know was starting her dream business as a concierge offering specialty services in her neighborhood.  She had always wanted to work out of her own home.  It had taken a lot of heartfelt effort to organize the office space, advertise, and have all the details in place.  I really wanted to help her by referring people who could benefit from her services.  I simply kept the thoughts in my mind that there were many people who would need these services.  As I went through the normal events of my day,synchronicities began to occur. By planting those seed thoughts I received the pleasure of being part of a collective dream fulfillment.  The woman I wanted to help, the people seeking the services, and myself all with such minimal effort received the fulfilling fruits.

Next you can play with dream fulfilling actions.  Have the playful intention of doing things for others. You may not know the people or what their exact life dreams are, yet somehow contribute to their well being bringing good luck and auspiciousness to them.  A warm smile, a compliment, or an unexpected gift has rippling effects.  As their day becomes brighter they have more sunlight to shine on all those who come into contact with them.

We also learn by example.  By being creatively big enough to fulfill anothers dream, the fulfilled person now knows how to do this for others.  One day I was walking past a street performer who was beautifully singing arias and playing a synthesized piano.  Some passers by stopped momentarily to enjoy his wonderful gift, some almost ignored the singer hurrying on by, and a group of young men were imitating and harassing the singer.  The singer kept on amidst the various reactions.  I felt his strong character and waited for the right moment to express my thanks for such lovely singing.
The smile that dawned his face upon receiving appreciation was spring rain to his dream seedlings.

There are many playful ways to take actions in the fulfillment of others dreams.  I know a man who on his daily arrival at a bridge toll booth, pays for the car behind him as well as his own.  I even know a woman who has dressed up as an angel and stood alongside the freeway with a home made sign saying, “Have a Wonderful Day!”  Many people even stopped to tell her how she had made a difference in their day.  One person said they received her being there as a sign to say “ Yes” to a big deal.

We can also listen to the dreams of those around us.  As we provide a safe open space for others to express their dreams, those dreams gain strength and momentum.  Simply be there for your fellow dreamers and in that you are a support system creating a sturdy foundation for dreams to be built.

As you contribute to the process of fulfilling dreams in others, your dreams are well into fruition.
Who wants one fruit tree when there could be vineyards of all varieties?

What is your heart’s desire?  It is human nature to constantly seek. It is a wonderful endeavor that keeps us growing, yet have you ever thought about what is like to be on the other end of reciprocity?  Most human beings spend so much time dreaming their dreams and thinking of the those that will fulfill the various pieces of their dream into manifestation.  How about reversing the roles for a while, helping others have their heart’s desire. In so doing we may find an equanimity between ourselves and all others.

First let’s begin with our own thoughts related to our self.  How do you define yourself in relation to where you live?  How do you define yourself by the roles you play in your family, your workplace, your community, your friends?  How do you define yourself by your name?  Now see if you can let go of all those definitions… who are you then???  How about doing the same for others, especially people or groups that are seemingly different than you.  Can you actually see others as they truly are without your own defining or labeling thoughts?  Now release all definitions even judgement about those you dislike or are challenged by.  Who are they without those attached thoughts?

From our thoughts we naturally flow into action.  Once we can see others as basically another ourself, we want the highest good for them.  So how can we take action to fulfill anothers dream?  And if they are the same as us, won’t we be on the road to fulfilling our own dream?

Once I was on vacation and stopped inside a quaint little beach shop to look around.  I picked up a few gifts and while checking out struck up a conversation with the cashier/owner.  I asked him, “What is your dream?”  He replied, “Having this shop in this beautiful location in my new country is my dream.  I also want to master the language and cultural ways here.  Basically, I just want to be able to make it.”  The next day as I was leaving early in the morning I drove by his shop and slid an envelope under the door.  Enclosed was a twenty dollar bill and an anonymous note saying,  ‘The Universe is Supporting You.’  There is no quantity to how much one gives.  If it is given with the generosity of pure good will, it is infinite.  When we are truly inspired one will know exactly how much material goods to give, yet the feeling will be unlimited.

I know a woman who puts an inspirational sign near the sidewalk outside of her apartment building on a busy city street every week.  Many people stop and read it on their daily travels.  You can even see others slowing their pace so they can have their turn to read it in privacy.  A few people have even sought her out to tell her how this message changed the course of their day, and thus the course of their life.  The messages are so heartfelt amidst the hardened veneer of big city life, that a chord of altruism is struck in many.  As liberation begins to sing out one chooses dream fulfiller modus operation… and happiness starts flowing contagiously moving into epidemic proportions.

As we learn how to think and act for others good, we simultaneously do so for ourselves.  One also finds more courage to honor one’s own beliefs.  So if you have been having extraterrestrial visitors for some time, you may be able to come out of the closet expressing your own beliefs without soliciting or being defensive.  As you honor diversity, you will find yourself being exactly who you are with ease.  If you enjoy certain practices or cultural expressions, dream fulfilling for others may open a new found strength in freely practicing your expression.  As we understand the diversity in others we understand the diversity and ability to explore in ourself.  Segregation and separation stem from fear of ourselves and others.  Ultimately we all live together with an absolute common denominator.  Our differences are playful expressions of infinity and choice.

By being observant, respectful, and the next step…  Helpful to others, we have granted ourselves liberation to be exactly who we choose.

What are your greatest dreams?   Do you dream of enjoying adventures with the love of your life?  Having your version of a castle in Camelot?  Having a successful and serving expression of work play?  Whatever your dream is, please know you are well on your way and I support you a thousand fold.

How about obtaining your dream from a new perspective?  Let’s play for a while.  Expand the context of your dream as large as it will go.  Where will you be experiencing the adventures with loved ones?   Where will your castles be located and where will this grand expression be played out?  From these specifics, keep expanding until you arrive at the place that all these dreams will be enacted on planet earth.  From this point, know earth is a part of the milky way, which is part of a universe, which is part of an infinite cosmos.

Once you arrive at an unlimited perspective, let’s begin to role play.  Place yourself in the role of the endless cosmos.  Feel free to give the endless cosmos a name and personality if it is easier.  How does this infinite expression of life support you?  Does it not provide light, nourishment within the air, and life forms that provide life fuel and even anecdotes to disharmony?  Has it not given you an expression that can observe, make choices, love, and communicate with all?  Let’s apply the Golden rule,  “Do unto others as you would to yourself” to the expanding cosmos and see how it plays a part in one’s own dream being fulfilled.  That is a pretty lofty concept.

Let’s start with taking care of our own earth and then she can act as our spokesperson to the council of universes, galaxies, and on.  So ask the earth, ”What is your dream?’  It may feel a bit funny, yet listen to her response and put it into words.   When I asked, she said, “I want to shimmer in space with a beautiful aura of happiness around me.  I want to give birth to as many playful possibilities every moment.  I want all my children of mineral, plant, animal, human, and spirit bodies to play in peace and prosperity.  I want to giggle in delight with the play of each day and dream more choices each night.  I want every part of me to know it is perfect and eternally loved.”

With a mother like that, how can we not want to give back?  As we love the source of our dreams, so are they watered and grow.  Let’s begin dream fulfillment with our thoughts to this earth.  Are you grateful for all of her expressions and powers?  Are you in harmony and observance with all of her cycles and seasons?

Construct some thoughts to earth as if it were Mother’s Day with gratitude for every breath you have been given here.  From our thoughts , the next step is action.  I wanted to practice dream fulfilling for the earth so decided to go to my local park and pick up trash. I imagined it was Spa Day for the earth. As I was picking up cigarette butts, beer bottles, and plastic wraps, the most wonderful thoughts drifted through my mind.  Afterward I felt completely rejuvenated and even thought I heard the trees and birds whispering “Thank You.”

We can also practice dream fulfillment by making choices that support the create context of our dreams. What kind of products do you choose to clean your home and body with?  Are they full of toxic chemicals you cannot even pronounce?  Could you actually eat your cleaning products?  It is a great question to ask if you have pets or little ones but what about grown up kids, too?  With a visit to your local health food store, you may be surprised for the good of all you can purchase clean cleansing products.  Now, what do you eat to gain more life force?  Organic foods full of happiness?  If you are not sure what to choose, ask inside. Your mother’s good advice is never far away.  What choices could you make that would serve the airs, waters, lands, animals, and all fellow earthlings?
