Begin with a breath.
This exercise was created to help you get clearer on your Vivid Dream, the version of your life that feels most true, most you, most alive.
Before we dive in, please listen to this short welcome audio from me. It will set the tone and help you arrive fully present for this work.
This exercise has five parts. Move at your own pace. There is no rushing here.
Journal
Uncertainty almost always comes down to fear, and underneath fear, there is a need that has not been met. These prompts are here to help you find the thread.
Take your time. Write honestly. No one sees this but you.
How to Reprogram
Before you step into the Vivid Dream, take a moment to refresh yourself on what reprogramming actually means and how to get the most out of the experience.
What is reprogramming?
When you reprogram, you are entering a hypnotic (theta) state through guided visualization to access the limiting beliefs and low self-worth that are deeply ingrained in your subconscious mind from childhood.
The actual reprogramming happens when you show your subconscious an alternative, higher-worth belief or outcome, in order to shift what you are projecting energetically.
When you hear "reprogram now," you can:
- Watch the memory unfold and let your younger self speak up, set a boundary, or do what was needed for healing.
- Come in as your present self to intervene on behalf of your younger self.
- Welcome your empowered parent or parents into the memory to stand up for you.
- If it is an adult memory, take whatever action was needed as yourself then, now, or as your most empowered self.
If you have not felt that yet, that is okay. It takes consistency to create new neural pathways. Keep working through the pattern, try a different variation, and trust the process.
What science says about neuroplasticity
"Our brains can actually receive hardware updates in addition to software updates. Different pathways form and fall dormant according to our experiences. When we learn something new, we create new connections between our neurons. We rewire our brains to adapt to new circumstances."
— Courtney Ackerman, MSc
The Clarity Vivid Dream
When you are deeply relaxed, we recommend covering your eyes and using headphones. Keep the answers to your journal prompts softly in mind as you listen.
To get deeply relaxed
- Take a bath beforehand
- Dim the lights
- Take slow, deep breaths
- Use headphones
If you are falling asleep
- Move your body first
- Try listening on a walk
- Sit upright in a chair
- Keep the lights on
Find the method that works best for you, even if it is uniquely yours.
Every image, feeling, or knowing, even fragments. This goes into your personalized reflection.
Your Reflection
This is where the teaching meets your experience. The reflection below is grounded in the lens of the Vivid Dream work, drawing on your journal answers and what you saw. Think of it as a mirror for what is already becoming clear in you.
Before we begin, how are you feeling right now?
Just notice. There is no wrong answer here.

You do not have to figure this out alone.
The beautiful thing about this work is that clarity builds over time. You do not need to have it all together before you take the next step.
