Neptune at the Final Degree of Pisces: How Our Dreams Speak to Us
Nothing says Neptune in Pisces like dreams. Dreams and dreamspaces are something we enter every night and yet, are spoken so little of.
I’m reading a book that is very much focused on honouring the dream space. They begin their day by waking and telling the person next to them what they dreamed. A community where the most revered thing is to be a ‘strong dreamer’—where the daily tasks all support someone's ability to dream well. As this is an inner technology that ultimately shares IN-formation about where to plant food, ways to live more efficiently, and how to discover spiritual laws.
By “dream well” that means to be living a life in harmony. They go to an earthen cave to meditate, sweat through any early signs of illness or dis-ease, or to face inner demons for healing and release. They eat just enough food, and work the body physically to feel tired for rest—but not too sore or in pain that could impact dreams.
This is Spiritual Nutrition—nourishing an ‘invisible’ aspect of us to make our 3D life more harmonious.
These people live for the dream state, rather than our modern focus on the 3D—often not sleeping enough, eating late at night (which impacts our dreamstate), dreaming about what could be processed in therapy, dreaming where we are in lack (i.e. dreaming about food or sex when we’ve not had enough), or not remembering our dreams at all.
It’s been a very thought-provoking read. We are so focused on our capitalist, more-more-more society, yet we are so very poor when it comes to dreams, meditation, and our inner technology to access altered states.
I see it now with so many people paying so much money to ayahuasca retreats, thinking it will be a quick fix ‘heal’—and yet so much basic day-to-day work has been left undone.
As one of my mentors said: Spirituality is free, but it’s not cheap. You need to put in the care, the detail, the 10,000-hour rule—and even then, it’s not in your own hands. It’s a humble surrender.
Another favourite teacher, an astrologer, Caroline Casey, speaks to the lack of ‘healthy Neptune’ in our society, as we have often lost our ability to dream—not just at night—but during the day. We sit and watch Netflix and scroll Instagram, and we are subconsciously conditioned to a toxic mimic dream of Hollywood or social media. Dreaming is a human need, and when we don’t truly dream ourselves, we get lost in the toxic mimic of scapsisms through movies and social media.
The question is: how much are your own dreams worth to you—and will you dare to dream for yourself?
