May '25 - Expansion Dream or Image Spotting
As a Brainspotting therapist who loves doing Expansion work on my client’s most oppressive and painful issues, I am always looking for a transformational healing resource. I have found positive recurring dreams (or even images) to be a mecca for life changing resourcing.
Last week I had a male client in his fifties who had two major issues that had haunted him for most of his life. One was the death of his mother when he was only 21 years old. She was his confidante, safe harbor, and best friend. The other issue was a persistent fear of making mistakes and the constant pressure he felt to do everything perfectly. His father was an angry and abusive alcoholic. He was beaten or verbally abused for the slightest mistake. His self-esteem and perfectionism and unacceptance of his mom’s death were stealing all of his joy in life. Both issues were a ten in disturbance. My next question was whether or not he had any positive recurring dreams or images that might help him with one or both of these issues. He lit up and began to share a beautiful recurring dream with me from beginning to end.
He had a frequent dream of he and his mom sitting on a bench on the beach near a Cypress tree. There was a little, blue house to the left of them. They were on the outside of the house and he was looking in. (He often feels on the outside in life.) His Higher Power came up from behind and put his hands on each of their shoulders. He felt pure love and warmth radiating from him. His mom was smiling at him beautifully.
I noticed he was gazing to his left, outside a large window in my office. I asked him to process both issues as he recalled the dream on his Gazespot. As the dream progressed, it changed. His Higher Power touched his hand and told him, “Your mom has been with you. Her body could not take the pain of her illness any longer. Please, let her go, and know she will always be with you." He experienced their radiant, warm smiles and felt unfathomable love coming from both of them. Then, his Higher Power told him, “You are good hearted and a sweet soul. You are like a loyal and loving Labrador. I am with you always on the inside. You are no longer on the outside looking in, and alone. I am with you, and together, we are looking out.” (I noticed his gaze had shifted to his right for this part). My client said, “I am one with both of them and I am at peace. It is like I can breathe now.” He pendulated back and forth between both spots for quite a long time. In a subsequent session, it’s clear he had a life-changing, transformative experience. His wife reports that he is far happier and finally at peace. He can laugh at himself and, even his mistakes. He remains in complete acceptance of his mom’s death.
