This document provides instructions for discovering your own personal script through exercises involving dreams, fantasies, and childhood stories. It describes choosing a recent dream and retelling it in the present tense from the perspective of each person or thing in the dream. It also suggests recalling your feelings after the dream and optionally rewriting the ending.

3. Discovering your own script
• Dreams, fantasies, fairy tales
and childhood stories can all
give us clues to our script.
• While you do these exercises,
let your imagination run fee.
• Don’t bother thinking what
they are for or what they
mean.
• Don’t censor or try to figure
our what you are supposed
to say.
• Just accept your first images
and feelings that may come
with them.

4. Dream
• Choose a dream of yours.
You are likely to learn most
from a recent dream or
one which recurs, but any
dream will do.
• Tell the dream. Relate it in
the present tense, not the
past.
• Then, just as you did with
your story, become each of
the people and things in
the dream and talk about
yourself.

5. Dream
• Recall how you felt
immediately after you
awoke from the dream.
Was it pleasant or
unpleasant feeling?
• Did you like how the
dream ended? If you did
not, you can continue the
exercise by re-writing your
dream ending.
• Tell the rewritten ending
just as you told the dream,
using the present tense.
