Dreaming is manifesting
When I was little, I loved to dream. It was, most usually, done listening to music. We had a record player when I was really little, then a stereo where we could play records or cassette tapes.
I still remember the smell of the headphones, and vinyl records. It was my sanctuary. I would literally spend hours there, often rocking to the music like a crazy person.
And as I listened, I dreamed. I lived, in real time, in worlds and experiences that I created. Looking back, I was probably in the dreamtime about a quarter of my life... and it worked.
When I was at university (still listening to music and dreaming) my friends would call my so-called good luck as “doing a Price”. It seemed to them that, whatever I desired just came to me. Everything fell into place.
This continued into my early work life. The dreaming only stopped when I started living with my to-be husband, who strangely (to me) didn’t like listening to music. Fast forward 14 years, and after a nasty divorce to said husband – a personality disordered narcissist – I resumed the music and dreaming. But not to the degree of my younger years for life, and responsibilities, called.
My point? The more I learn about energy and how we manifest our desires into our lives, the more I see that the high vibrational ‘dreaming’ that I did for many years was a powerful form of positive visualization. Add in the uplifting and emotional impacts of the music, and I was literally transporting myself into what I desired. Shifting my energetic calibration on a daily basis.
Honestly? It was an escape. But my wise younger self knew exactly what to do. I became who I wanted to be, rocking in front of that stereo or playing a mixed tape of my favourite songs. It was also why I was drawn to teaching aerobics as a teenager; the combination of moving and dancing to the music was intoxicating. Little Glenn’s intuition was bang on point.
The art of manifesting is, you see, about dreaming. It is said that something happens twice: once when you dream or think it, and then when it actually happens. When we focus on what we desire – instead of worrying about all the things we feel are holding us back – we then start to really feel as if that desire has already happened. Our energetic calibration is a vibrational match to the desire... and hey presto, it transpires.
It might not be in the way you envisaged the desire taking place, for that is the magic of the universe. Often, the actual happening is better than you’ve imagined. That was the “doing a Price” so-called luck that my university friends envied. I seemed to win prizes, smash presentations and assignments, even land a job, effortlessly.
Whereas in reality, I was just living in a dreamworld. And I was young enough not to be beating myself up for doing so. When I was married with children, I stopped listening to music and dreaming (and therefore manifesting) because I felt guilty that I was wasting time. Life became less “lucky” for me, and more about survival and protecting my children.
Grateful am I that, thanks to my intuition and that inner child Little Glenn, who still lives within me, know exactly what to do.
