In understanding dreams, we all begin at the roots of dreaming,
acknowledging the dream exists everywhere in the world, and that we
can be connected with dreaming.

(Dream Healer)
Direction: The West
Dream Healing |
|
 |
| In the direction of introspection, the West, we learn to understand
ourselves more deeply. Through understanding ourselves, we also learn
about compassion, not just for ourselves but for others, and for the
world we live in. From self awareness comes healing. |

Wen Ch’en
(Jenny) T’sering (The
Listener)
Direction: The North
Listening
|
|
 |
| The North is the direction of Wisdom, of clear understanding. In order to
understand oneself, it is necessary to listen, not just with our ears, but
with the entire body, including the dreaming body. Under-standing allows
us to create from the heart. |

(Lucid Dreamer)
Direction: The East
Lucid Dreaming
|
|
 |
| The East is the direction of the clear light of sunrise although,
like Icarus, we must take care not to fly too close to the sun, unless
our wings are firm and strongly made. Dream lucidity opens whole new
vistas of possibility. |

Charles McNair
(Trickster)
Direction: The Living Tree
Change and Transformation
|
|
 |
| In many dreaming cultures, the Trickster appears. The Trickster teaches us
that once we think we have learned all about something, there’s a whole
new level of learning to be achieved. The Trickster is sometimes serious,
sometimes playful, but always inventive. |
