Nightmares vs. Dreams (+ the Power of Small Possibilities) Ep. 24
Hey fam,
So we’re back with another episode of Lila! We’re keeping it real this week and talking about the difference between your dreams and nightmares, in addition to the power of small possibilities. Let’s dive in!
Nightmares are dreams flipped upside down. They can feel incredibly real and compelling, almost eery-like in their believability.

The trick to navigating your dreams is understanding that the harder you go in the direction of them, the quicker and crazier the nightmare energy might be. This is where the power of small possibilities comes into play.
Western culture promotes a society where going big or going home, as they say, is the given mantra. You should go hard and fast towards your dreams and never stop as that admits defeat. And we’re too strong and bold for failure, right?
Well, here’s the thing about that. When you really lay your dreams out— I mean really admit to yourself what’s been calling at you and from within you your entire life—you are bound to dig up and call up some Dracula energy from your closets. And the longer you’ve been sitting on these vestiges of light, the bigger and uglier these Draculas (i.e. nightmare energy) might be.
As sensitive dreamers with a purpose, sometimes this means choosing a softer approach to believing in the possibility of our dreams. To acting on them. Our nervous systems do not sustain the endless slog, well. The price to pay for this is frequently harsh and can send us spiraling, bringing us to a standstill.
But this is what the world of business and life says, is it not? Go hard! Go big! Or die trying!

Meh. It’s quite simple. If you would like to gently excavate the dragons and nightmares, the deep-rooted fear and self-doubt that’s inevitably opposite to your dreams, which are 100% certain to come up I promise, then you get to choose smaller steps. You get to lean into smaller possibilities over longer periods of time.
You most certainly can sprint. I simply invite you to know and choose when you're doing it, versus subscribing to it as the only valuable advice on the market.
As sensitive creatives with a higher purpose, the nightmare energy alone of all that you fear could be enough to steer you off track. Build your reserves. Get going and take it easy. Very few people will tell you this.
I tell you this. If how I feel to you jives, maybe consider taking this approach.
For your sake. And for that of the dreams yet born!
