I woke up a few mornings ago with a term in my mind that I had never heard before – “Inbedream.”

I had no idea what it meant, if anything. So I just got curious about it and this is what popped:

Inbedream: A state of awareness between dreaming and being fully awake.

We’ve all experienced this frame of mind. It’s a quiet time between busy periods.

My experience suggests that this is where all the magic happens – in between the busy-ness of a thought filled day and the disjointed, patchwork quilt known as dreaming.

“Inbedream” is the semi-awake time just before drifting off to sleep and the time just before being fully awake.

Others have named this state of mind with other labels, but the important thing is not the naming of these periods but the utilization of them.

I saw a piece on the news a week or so ago that suggested one way of utilizing this state of mind before retiring for sleep: Write down three things you are grateful for before nodding off. Use a notebook, a pad of paper or note card and place it by your bedside.

When you begin to awaken, bring those three things to mind again and let them bathe in that magical soup.

I won’t tell you the results because that would only be my experience. To gain your own experience, you have to do the exercise. It’s easy enough. I suggest you give it a go and see what happens.

You can write anything on the sheet that you want to imbue your mind with, but gratitude is a nice start.

All the magic happens in the spaces between our thoughts and this bedtime routine is a way to introduce yourself to a magic trick that produces real magic.

“Inbedream” may never make it into the dictionary, but if you utilize the concept, you will begin to experience magical feelings that words can’t describe.

All the best,

John
