It can be for whatever you want it to be. Your ritual should contain the following five elements: it should keep alive a tradition, it should involve the use of your body in some way, it should contain both words and objects that hold significant meaning, and it should contribute to forming a community (however you choose to interpret this – for me ritual is a personal practice that helps me be a contributing member of my community). </b></i></span></div>

Each morning record the events of your dreams. Each day, post your experiences on your blog, Facebook wall, on a sidewalk with chalk in a public space, or any other creative outlet.

<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38;"><i>Nearly half of our lives are lived in another dimension with perhaps another consciousness and rarely talked about. These experiences should not be discounted or ignored. What happens when we share our memories of experiences from the dream world with this physical world? What responses would this illicit if a synergy is produced by an amalgamation of both realities?</i></span></h4>
