Another method of discovering unknown or unarticulated dreams is using “The Dream Catcher’s Magic Questions”:

1. What do you believe about this issue?  Do you have some values, ethics, or beliefs that relate to your position on this issue?
2. Does your viewpoint relate to your history or childhood in some way?
3. Why is your position on this issue important to you?
4. What are your feelings about this issue?
5. What is your ideal dream here?  If you could wave a magic wand and have exactly what you want, what would it look like?
6. Is there some underlying purpose or goal in this for you?  What is it?

87% of the time, The Dream Catcher’s Questions lead to major breakthroughs in a gridlocked conflict.

Our biggest conflicts can be the greatest opportunity for intimacy because they can serve to spotlight something deeply important about who we are.
