In-Be-Dream

I woke up one morning with a word in my mind I had never heard before – “In-be-dream.”

I had no idea what it meant, if anything. So I just got curious about it and this is what popped:

In-be-dream: A state of awareness between dreaming and being fully awake.

We’ve all experienced this frame of mind. It’s a quiet time between busy periods.

My experience suggests this is where all the magic happens – in between the busy-ness of a thought-filled day and the disjointed, patchwork quilt known as dreaming.

“In-be-dream” is the semi-awake time just before drifting off to sleep and the time just before being fully awake.

Others have named this state of mind with other labels, but the important thing is not the naming of these periods but the utilization of them.

I saw a piece on the news that suggested one way of using this state of mind before retiring for sleep: Write down three things you are grateful for before nodding off. Use a notebook, a pad of paper or note card and place it by your bedside.

When you begin to awaken, bring those three things to mind again and let them bathe in that magical soup.

I can’t predict your results because tI only know about mine. To gain your own experience, do the exercise. It’s easy enough. I suggest you give it a go and “presto”see what happens.

You can write down anything you want to imbue your mind with, but gratitude is a nice start.

All the magic happens in the spaces between our thoughts and this bedtime routine is a wonderful way to introduce yourself to a magic trick that produces magical results.

Don't believe me, take it out for a spin, and drive over to Abracadabra Lane.

“In-be-dream” may never make it into the dictionary, but if you practice the concept, don't be too surprised when you experience magic that words can’t describe.

All the best,

John
