Finding the dream is usually the most rewarding part of dreamweaving because it allows us the opportunity to get to know our elders in a whole new way.  When you begin the process of dream discovery, we recommend that you use the tools you received in your membership manual.  The dream disovery form is a tool that has evolved over the 13 years that we have been at this.  Although we have adjusted it here or there, the main focus of this tool is to create conversation with the elder.  The questions allow them to think about things they may have long since forgotten.  Many times an elder will say during the dream discovery process, "I haven't thought about that in years".  Through the process of conversation with the elder, memories are unlocked and dreams are revealed.  You may never hear the words "I always dreamed . . ." but, you will hear the elder's heart's desire as you begin to know them on a deeper level. 

Remember, when you are visiting with an elder, don't "look" for the dream - allow the dream to reveal itself.  You may not even realize what has been revealed until you review your notes after leaving the elder.  Then, the dreamweaving can begin!
