F.R.A.M.E. Embodiment Training week 2
Deliberate Dreaming
How often do you purposely use imagination to create the experiences you wish to achieve?
Hello Life Artists –
Do you know the pleasure of daydreaming, of letting your mind dream, imagine, wonder and freely create? Do you remember how pleasurable and creative it can be, and how many ideas pop up? We imagine all the time – but have you ever really examined what you are doing?
The way I look at it – daydreaming is essentially movie making. Life Artists teaches that:
Imagination starts the process of creating. The details and vividness of your dream directly determine how real your lived experience becomes.
The amount of emotion this “daydream” stirs up in your senses and how you then react and embody this daydream – directly affects how you will create and experience reality. Based on that – How often do you purposely set up this powerful act and deliberately dream the state you wish to achieve?
What I want to talk about in this video is what I call Deliberate Dreaming – the act of deliberately setting up the image of something we want to create and by doing so exploring states of being to achieve this.
The thing is – you daydream all the time. You are imagining constantly the situations and experiences you long for, as well as states that you don’t want. But let’s face it – more often than not, we spend our time imagining anxiety, worries, rehashing the things you should have done, said, been, and shaming yourself for all you should do, be, and create – but didn’t.
How does that show up in your life and how does that make you feel?
Imagination is the function of connecting experiences and images to form new possibilities. The important thing to recognize is, science has actually proven that for the brain – these images are no different than a real situation. Think about that!
The images and the mind movies you are consistently showing yourself – are becoming your reality!
We are amazing creators, and our life dreams and imagination are unlimited. You create all the pictures and scenes, the successes, pleasures, curiosity, and the moods of your internal trip – but let’s agree,
…the content of your dreams is always up to YOU!
So, let’s put two and two together – if the images we are imagining are creating our physical responses and the bodily state from which we take action – then what if – instead of imagining possible failure and doom and gloom – you
…deliberately set up dreaming – purposely use your imagination to see yourself taking action, succeeding, enjoying and living the life you want!
In this next training, we are going to deliberately choose to dream the experiences we wish to have – instead of obsession with the things that might not work. It is the same process of dreaming – one simply feels better and serves our aims.
Deliberate Dreaming in summary
- A detailed, vivid description and motivating emotions determine how real your experience/ your dream becomes.
- Choosing what you visualize and think about is a powerful act of creation and the content is up to you!
- Deliberately choose to dream the experience you wish to have and then embody it for manifesting power!
And remember –
You are the Creator – when you embody your creativity – you manifest your dreams!

Creative D.R.I.V.E. in ACTION
Weekly implementation to deepen your practice! Simply do yourself a favor and while working with these questions – STAY PHYSICAL!
- Describe your dreams in great detail – use descriptions; who, how, where, what, when, instead of beliefs, conclusions, and judgments.
- Describe how it feels and where, in the body, this experience and dream state is expressing itself – I can take a deep breath, my chest and belly feel relaxed, there is excitement in my body etc…
- Based on that dream – what could you change in your NOW state – your day to day physical expression and way of communicating and being? Can you stand, walk, move, breathe like the creator in your dream?

hI ! thanks for the training ! for me daydreaming has always been a “useless” moment (useless cause “it will never happen”) but now I see things differently. I still have trouble connecting and finding my dream , I feel like I have intellectual “proper and healthy” wishes and desires but they don’t feel right, and I don’t enjoy dreaming them so much. I don’t get tickles and goosebumps etc about them. so maybe they are no real dreams after all? looking forward to the dare to dream workshop !!!! LG
HI Anna! thank you for your reply and I also look forward to the dare to dream workshop where you will recover desire behind daring to dream!
To be shown again that instead of negative thinking and fears we can also deliberately dream the personality we wish to be, shifted something in me. it is in fact the same act and that blows my mind. it is constant practice though and to meanwhile become physical while dreaming and to feel the body became so important, it is the anker and orientation. i start sensing that the power of dreaming lies there. when i embody i am fine. and it becomes so pleasurable to “frame” training every day.
thank you Fabienne for sharing! it is beautiful to read this clarity and yes, the way I see it…the incredible powerful act is exactly this…it is all “dreaming” what we choose to dream is up to us…and yes it isssss practice. that is why I teach the conscious creator training..because it is practice. But the great thing is …that practice goes much quicker than the practice you did for years leading you to the state you are in right now…our bodies want to be in flow so the more you practice it will get easier and easier!
Hi, Katrin YES! thank you for sharing with us all. I totally agree that when we give ourselves the permission to dream we reconnect with desire- and I believe that desire is one of the most powerful motivators to take action!
As a kid I often daydreamed and I had a big imagination but as I had gotten older my daydreams became less deliberate and more by chance from “lack” of focus and not always from a place of feeling whole or good. But now, since learning where to put my focus of dreaming since well I am gonna dream anyways so why not put it in a place I feel good, I feel much more like I can deliberately dream whenever I notice my mind beginning to jump into the future. THAT is the signal for me its time for me to decide either to get head “busy” or creative. So I guess you can say my creative process is more spontaneous or when I am having to focus on something I dont want to so my mind goes into dreamland. But in these moments I can choose to deliberately dream or let my mind choose it for me. I also notice a lot of my imagination really builds up a lot of energy in my head, so I am realising I just need to put that imagination energy where I want to feel good.
Well doing the deliberate dreaming training video helped me to understand that when I feel my head literally full with thoughts and daydreaming future whatever, it is really my big and creative imagination I had forgotten I had, that wants to get created into something. Perhaps this is where they say people with ADHD supposedly cant concentrate. Maybe it is simply they have an incredible amount of creative and daydreaming energy that needs to be deliberately focused on how they want to feel and want to create.Now since I am aware that I can focus this creative energy into how I want to feel and experience, I am planning on implementing and practicing this on a daily basis and when I notice I am beginning to focus on things that do not make me feel good or my thoughts begin to get “busy”.
Hi Sarah – That is exactly the message for deliberate dreaming and I am happy that using this training allows you to focus on what you WANT to dream and WHAT FEELS GOOD! and yes I agree – supposed lack of focus for ADHD or anyone for that matter – has only to do with recovering your ability to consciously choose where you put your attention! and this is practice- able and learnable – as you are experiencing!
I daydream a lot since I can remember! But for a very long time I did not see it as part of my creative process. Sometimes it was much more a waste of time where I did not do something for my dreams and I felt bad and lazy about it. To dream deliberately changes this attitude of myself dreaming. Now I can choose what I wanna dream and what are the dreams that truly serve my creative wishes. Like this I can use a quality I inherit very clear and powerful. It makes daydreaming something worthy. The training reconnects me to my dreams because I am relaxed, very alive AND I enjoy this deeply. To this place of relaxed pleasure I wanna go again and again. Then its not the dream I am afraid it will never come true but the dream I desire. There I wish to be.
