Harness the Power of Your Dreams

Do you ever have anxiety dreams? You know the ones where you are about to go into an exam, and suddenly it dawns on you that you haven't done any revision. I don't usually have that particular dream nowadays, but I do sometimes have dreams about teaching yoga. In my dream, I'll be teaching a relaxation and suddenly one of the students might get up and leave. Other students will follow, and then I'm left teaching an almost empty class. Other times, I'll dream I'm teaching in an L-shaped room, which means I can't see all the students, and they can't see me. In one dream that I had many years ago, early on in my teaching, I dreamt I was teaching a relaxation, and my students were lying on the floor in Savasana, when two young, unruly lads came in and started bouncing power balls all around the class. I swore at them and shooed them out of the room. Whoops, not a very yogic dream, but funny in retrospect!
