2. First: What is a dream board
?
(or a vision board)
A dream board,
simply put, is a
collage filled with
images and
words that
connect with
YOU.

3. But it’s not just ANY collage
It’s a collage that depicts your vision,
hopes, dreams, and goals for YOURSELF.
It is a picture of LIFE AS
YOU WOULD WANT IT.

6. Ingredients for your dream board
A light and positive
attitude. There is no
space for fear or
doubt in this exercise!
• Old, colorful magazines
• A large illustration board
• Cutting and pasting supplies
A quiet space where (scissors and glue)
you can think (your • You can also add: markers,
comfort zone will do). crayons, glitters, embellishments…
Play some soft music OH… AND PLEASE
anything that will bring your dream
if you wish to do so. REMEMBER TO
board to life!
BRING YOUR
IMAGINATION!  © 2009 Niña Terol-Zialcita

7. NOW WHAT?
Spend about an hour (or 30 minutes, if you
don’t have too much time) going over the
magazines and just TEARING OUT the
images that hit you.
Don’t think! If you like something, rip it
off. Don’t worry yet about where to put it
on your board.
Just CUT, CUT, CUT… RIP, RIP, RIP.

8. THEN…
Once you’re satisfied that you have all the
images you need at that particular moment,
start laying them out on your board.
They don’t have to be laid out flawlessly. Just
arrange the images and words the way you feel
like arranging them.
If you want to add extra drawings, colors, or
other embellishments, go ahead.
Take your time while doing this. DON’T RUSH.

10. BUT WAIT!
Dreamboarding doesn’t end when the
board itself is completed.
Take some more time to look at your
dreamboard and process the thoughts
and feelings that enter your head and
heart.
ARE YOU REALIZING SOMETHING NEW?

11. Some more guide questions:
(It will help if you write down the answers in a journal)
What struck me about my dream board?
Is there something here that I used to
think wasn’t so important to me?
What does this say about my priorities and
desired direction?
How do I bring myself closer to achieving
this?
Is there anything I need to get rid off in
order to make space for all this?
