Dreaming or meditating are two ways to communicate with your subconscious.
There are some therapists and counselors who believe that people can communicate with their subconscious. Sigmund Freud, the father of modern day psychology, believed that the subconscious mind is independent of the conscious mind. Freud believed that individuals are unable to control the subconscious thought. However scholars since Freud's time, including Carl Jung, recognized that there may be ways to communicate with the subconscious mind. There are different schools of thought and ideas on communicate with your subconscious.
Instructions
1. Use free association writing to communicate with your subconscious mind. Writing without thinking can tap into the subconscious mind and leave the conscious mind out altogether. Find a quiet room and start to write. At first, you may feel self conscious but that will fade away. Once you start writing, you will find the words usually flow. You may be surprised when you are finished, because your conscious mind did not recognize the thoughts.
2. Create an image for your subconscious. It helps to picture an image, in order to facilitate communication. Some people view their subconscious as their inner child. Others picture a wise older person to help guide them. Whatever works for you will be fine.
3. Begin a conversation with your subconscious by writing. Write down a thought or question. Respond quickly. This will take some practice but the quicker you respond, the more likely the answer is your subconscious.
4. Meditate. Develop a meditation that you do daily. Try to concentrate on your breathing and turn off any thoughts. Once you have been able to still your mind successfully, you may notice random thought coming in. This is likely your subconscious talking. Keep in mind that this will take a lot of practice.
5. Communicate with your subconscious through your dreams. Concentrate before you go to sleep on a particular question. Keep a dream notebook close to your bedside. When you wake up, write down any dreams you had. Even if you can't remember many details, write whatever you can. Dreams are often believed to be our subconscious communicating with us.
