Dragon Dreaming, un outil pour faire de ses rêves une réalité
En anglais uniquement pour le moment : Dragon Dreaming is a playful, inspiring, encouraging and meaningful method for assisting individuals and groups who seek to make their dreams come true. Could that be you?
As a result Dragon Dreaming offers different people different theories, tools, tips, and techniques that can be added to improve the effectiveness of their existing own work. Alternatively it can provide a pathway, a learning journey, for individuals who have yearned for some time to make a difference and live a more meaningful life by trying something new.
To make it short, it has 4 steps:
The Dreaming: Every project starts as the Dream of a single individual, but daily experience teaches 90% of our dreams get blocked in the dreaming stage, and this usually happens because we do not share our dreams. How then do we make our dreams come true? The first step is to share your dream and build a team around your dream that assists in making the dream come true.
The Planning: The second stage is to build a plan: people do not plan to fail, they only fail to plan. Again experience teaches us that 90% of projects do not work according to plan. This is because the “planners” are seen as the “head” of the organisation, and they blame the “body” of the organisation for not following the plan, whilst the “body” blames the “head” for being out of touch with reality.
The Doing: The third stage is where much of the work occurs. This is the doing stage of the project, and international figures show that some 90% of business ideas, start-ups or non government community initiatives fail to last longer than 3 years. This often happens through “burnout” on the part of the initiators, and the lack of effective succession planning. People feel tired and exhausted, because they have not refueled themselves with the fourth step.
Consider now the statistics. In our conventional world of win-lose competitive enterprises, of every 1000 dreams, only 100 become plans, only 10 plans work according to plan, and only 1 survives longer than three years. People know this…. they know in the conventional business as usual world, dreams do not come true, and so….. so they give up their dreams. Aboriginal people in Australia say that when you lose your dreaming you have lost part of your soul. And the symptoms of soul loss are all around us – apathy, fatalism, powerlessness, living only from day to day, addictive behaviours, seeking happiness through consumerism, easy frustration, blaming the victim in others or oneself, rising levels of depression. Dragon Dreamers know we need a fourth step.
The Celebrating: The fourth stage of a successful project is celebration. This is built upon gratitude and thankfulness, acknowledgement and recognition. It is celebration that connects the doing of a project back to the original dreaming. We say 25% of any project needs to be celebration. And it needs to be fully integrated throughout the process.
