Explore subconscious fantasies and the potential consequences of living them out. 
Everyone has fantasies. A fantasy takes us away from you present situation and allows us to visit a place or to have an experience that takes place solely in our mind. Fantasies can range from positive, pure and noble - like being responsible for world peace activities - to those which might be deemed negative and evil by most standards, or at best nonproductive. 

All fantasies flow from a source within us, and therefore have important reasons for existence. Some people may be uncomfortable with their fantasies, reluctant to discuss them with others, or even unwilling to admit that they fantasize. They may feel that the acknowledgement of a certain fantasy might be too scary or threatening to their daily existence. 


​If a fantasy involves performance of a tremendous good, identifying it can enable you to enact some small part of it with your limited resources.
A fantasy may involve evil or monumental waste; in that case, if you acknowledge it, you can begin to shape it, tame it and put it in perspective. An unacknowledged fantasy, though it appears harmlessly buried, still works its power on your life through subconscious desires. Therefore, it is much healthier to open the door and face it. 

In this experience you are going to allow yourself to live out a fantasy of your choice, within the safety and confinement of your imagination. It may be something incredibly good that you never had the power to do, or it may be something you could never allow yourself to act out. 

Whatever you experience, you must remember that it will all be fantasy; it is not a part of your real world, nor will it ever have to be.
