THE TREASURE

Other than that dream — engraved in my DNA — for many years my dreams remained simply a peculiar occurrence of being alive. I could not make much sense of them, and only occasionally did I turn to dream-symbol dictionaries for interpretation. The answers, however, were never satisfactory, and so I disregarded documenting my dreams.

Around the year 2000, circumstances in my life began to feel purposeful, predestined, and unmistakably sacred, and these dynamics started appearing in my dreams with extraordinary clarity and precision. Essentially, I opened to dreams like a bottle of champagne and when one of them announced, months in advance, the coveted new position I would soon receive in the corporation I was working for, I felt compelled to begin writing them down.

But it was overwhelming. I continually drifted into other dimensions, and after a few years I was completely spent. I felt compelled to partially close my connection to what I now call the dreaming landscapes, because I did not yet know how to remain alive in both realities.

Documenting dreams is both awareness — and an invitation to it.

On New Year’s Day 2016, I woke up knowing I had been reminded by Ascended Masters to keep documenting my dreams. But difficult periods continued to create gaps in my records. (I am certain that was not the only time I was reminded of this; though, of course, I did not document the earlier or subsequent reminders — which, in itself, makes my point.) While I did become more careful about documenting my dreams, I did not pay real attention to them until the summer of 2020, during the height of COVID. 

At some point after The Mountain experience, I found myself alone in a deserted hostel, and with nothing else to occupy my time. So, I turned my attention fully back to my dreams and began creating a catalog of them. 

Quite an undertaking it turned out to be! From dawn to dusk, I spent three months reviewing my notes and creating a rudimentary catalog with an ineffective color-coding system.

I started by writing down the dreams that had left an indelible mark on me, even though vast amounts of detail had already been lost. Then I read every journal I had ever written, went through years of WhatsApp conversations with friends, and retrieved backups of emails I no longer used. 

To my complete frustration, I repeatedly came across notes that read something like, “I dreamed of you last night — I need to tell you!” or “I dreamed of you; it was incredible, let’s talk!” Not helpful.

Then it dawned on me:

In all those years, it had never occurred to me that I would one day have both the tools and the context to unravel them. 

And so, despite my wavering discipline, by August 2020 I had managed to create a repository with 650 references, including many full dream narratives.

I then created a worksheet to observe how my dreaming activity had evolved over the years. It was a tedious manual process, but an enlightening one. I now knew that some dates, like Day of the Dead, and certain times of the year, such as the Christmas season, were more conducive to meaningful dreams than others. It also became clear to me that one of the most important things about dreams is the stories they build over time.

I also learned what was worth documenting and what to be mindful of when writing dreams down. I began paying closer attention to my notes and within a couple of years added 230 more references (yes, I counted them one by one). The exploration continued to fascinate me.

As for the catalog, when I began using my dreams to write stories, I did not always find what I was looking for easily. By April 2022, after going through all 880 entries many times, searching for specific threads, I realized how much easier the process would be with consistent tagging… if only the appropriate tool existed.

Soon, I started a blog on Medium to begin sharing. Unsure whether what I had to say would interest anyone, I wrote mostly for my three best friends. But I had a lot of fun, often laughing so hard at my own words that I cried. I began telling stories in which the importance of particular dreams was placed in context. 

Those dreams, and the stories they carry, matter deeply to me, and I trust they may inspire people like you to recognize the significance of dreams in your own life — and perhaps even in the global community.

Extraordinarily, in June 2022, after discussing the project with Adamus at a Shoud, he invited me to interview him for A Thousand Dreams, and in that beautiful presentation called DreamWorlds, he noted the incredibly valuable nature of dreams. 

What began with a reminder from Ascended Masters turned into a personal catalog, then into stories, and suddenly it ignited into a bold vision, sustained not only by my own passion and resolve, but also by ageless wisdom and the support of many who dream as intensely as I do – literally and figuratively. 

Finally, the app itself was delivered on November 11, 2025, and now we enter the next phase in this evolution: A Thousand Dreamers – people like you, all around the world, who are willing to contribute to a collective experience of dreams. 

After all, dear Shaumbra, dreaming is what we do best! What I hold as a treasure may become meaningful to someone else. And a thousand such treasures can together offer a new and expanding frontier for humanity.

If you feel the call, welcome!
