TL;DR The author recounts a session this week in which the client’s journey shows how powerful the dream state can be when paired with vibrational alignment—and how nurturing your Inner Being leads to inspired, effortless breakthroughs in life and work.
When I spoke with “Marsha”, a newer client, this week, she was in the thick of it. The assignment she’d received from her collaborator and spiritual partner, whom we’ll call “Janice”, had stirred up something deep. Not because the assignment was unreasonable. But because it touched an old wound—one that said: “You’re not safe to express. If you speak up, express fear…if you’re seen, something bad will happen.”
This was no small ripple. This was a wave of paralyzing fear that locked her out of clarity and into self-doubt. But what unfolded next wasn’t just a turning point in Marsha’s relatively new Positively Focused practice. It was a revelation.
At first, Marsha tried to push through her resistance, telling Janic sure, she can do the assignment. But fear of failure gripped her and wouldn’t let go. Marsha knew this was an opportunity to apply the practice. So, despite her fears, she turned to the Positively Focused process we’ve been cultivating in our work together.
And she did apply it. But it didn’t immediately produce the ease she hoped for.
Because sometimes, the momentum is still too strong. Sometimes, our beliefs are too practiced. And when that’s the case, the best thing we can do is not force alignment… but pause, soften, and allow. That’s exactly what Marsha did.
From Collapse To Consciousness
After trying the process, Marsha felt a nudge. It felt like fatigue. It overcame her. Rather than push through that signal, she took that as a sign that her Broader Perspective wanted her in nonphysical. So she heeded the call. She lay down, hoping to meditate or rest. But what came next was something more powerful than either. She dreamed.
In this dream, Marsha faced the same emotional landscape she had in waking life: extreme fear, constriction in her body, performance anxiety, and a sense that being her full self was unacceptable. But in the dreamscape, her Broader Perspective had more room to work.
Symbol after symbol appeared, each one softening the density she’d been carrying. Marsha felt her freedom return. She felt her joy light up. She felt the truth: Her voice is not a threat. Her creativity is not dangerous. Her sensitivity is not a liability. It is her genius. But she also saw in her dream imagery confirming contrast between those positive things and the repression, the urge to conform, and the fear that being fully self expressive was a problem.
When she awoke from the dream, something remarkable happened. The assignment no longer looked like a burden. In fact, her mind began overflowing with ideas—not just about that one task, but about others she’d been postponing. Inspiration arrived in waves. Energy returned. What felt impossible just hours earlier, before her dream now felt obvious, even joyful.
The Value of the Dream State
In a short time, Marsha got a lot of her tasks done. Not by efforting, but by allowing. The rest she left to the Universe. That was an interesting choice because the deadline Marsha thought was hard and fast was actually something more pliable. Janice, who also is a client who meets with me before I meet with Marsha, said there was no deadline. And if Marsha couldn’t complete the assignment, it was ok, Janice said. The assignment was a stretch goal.
In-session, Marsha and I explored her side of the experience. She shared the dream, the before-and-after of it, the vibrational shift. Marsha wasn’t just reporting on tasks completed. She was describing a vibrational recalibration. One that aligned her with ease, clarity, and flow.
Of course, the power of the session wasn’t in what we solved. It was in what we remembered together: That every human being has access to this power. Many people think the dream state is just the brain’s way of organizing memory. But in the Positively Focused framework, we know dreams are so much more.
Dreams are calibrations. They are communications. They are environments where little resistance occurs. So we have a greater ability to resolve vibrational conflicts from our waking experience. Such vibrational resolutions often work faster than conscious effort. In dream state, resolutions are instant. Because when the waking mind rests, our Broader Perspective can slip past the guards of belief and touch the heart directly.
Most people wake from dreams and pick up their resistance right where they left off when they went to sleep. So they don’t get this benefit.
Breakdowns: Always Launchpads for Breakthroughs
Not. Marsha. What’s more—her dream proved that Marsha is never alone. Her Inner Being is always assisting her. But she must slow down enough to let it. She must open up to a higher order function. Her nonphysical wisdom.
The journey Marsha took over those few days is one many clients experience in this practice:
- A trigger ignites old momentum.
- Resistance sets in.
- The practice is applied, but feels shaky.
- A new impulse (like rest) is honored.
- In sleep or stillness, resistance dissolves.
- Resolution happens.
- Inspiration flows.
- Action follows effortlessly.
This cycle is not unique to Marsha. It’s the natural rhythm of alignment. The more clients lean into it, the more they discover just how brilliant both their Inner Being and the Universe are at organizing everything for success—not just external success, but vibrational success. The kind that changes your inner world and your waking life results.
Marsha’s transformation wasn’t about getting the assignment done. It was about deepening her relationship with the one being who has never doubted her: Her Broader Perspective.
So many people chase external validation, thinking that’s where value comes from. But true stability, confidence, and joy come from nurturing the relationship that exists beyond thought, beyond fear, beyond ego. That relationship is always available. Always ready. Always loving.
And when you tune to it, like Marsha did, life becomes unimaginably rich. That’s what clients in the Positively Focused practice are discovering every day. And you can too.
Become a client. We got your back. Always.
