Many schools of thought, especially the goal oriented ones, recommend you be specific about your dreams. You set the dates, times and conditions that you want.
Whilst this is definitely one way of going about and aligning with your goals. It can also send you the other way and create more internal resistance.
The goal, is to feel better about where you are headed. So, if being specific fills you with fear, dread or control freakishness (oops, that would be me!), then set general intentions. The Universe already knows what you want because you have asked for it all vibrationally, you do this by the very living of life.
One of my New Years resolutions was to try new things, different things. And it has been filling in beautifully!
Tonight, I was fortune enough to be one of the first in the world (of the general public) to see a preview of Jupiter Ascending- the Wachowskis first foray back into sci-fi film since The Matrix. It was a competition I won and the experience was lovely! The cinema was the Electric in Portebello Road- it was more of a luxury theatre! You had your very own seat with armrest, footrest and small table with mini lamp! Definitely a lovely, new different experience beautifully aligned with my New Years intention.
The film was visually stunning but a little thin on metaphysical storyline.
Anyhoo, try it! Go general, go really specific. See how each feel and how things work out manifestationally! Play with it and expand!
Happy specifying/generalising!
Lots of love, Nick Xxx
