What is Dreamism?
Dreamism is the belief that we live in a simulated reality or a dream, created by G-d. Our collective intention shapes our reality, as we share in G-d’s power to create. Magic exists in various forms across cultures and religions, and at its core, it is powered by intention. All belief systems have their own expressions of this power, whether it’s through rituals, psychic abilities, lucid dreaming or prayer, and Dreamism unifies these beliefs in the understanding that we can collectively shape our reality through our thoughts and actions.
Dreamism encourages us to stay grounded in the present, here on Earth, by making every moment and action meaningful. By recognizing our connection to the divine and our role in shaping reality, we can sanctify time and bring intentionality to all aspects of our lives, including eating, exercising, and spending time with family.
As a spiritual practice, Dreamism draws upon teachings from various traditions, such as Kabbalah, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and Hermeticism, to create a coherent and modernized system. Dreamists work towards personal growth, spiritual exploration, and tikkun olam – the repair and restoration of the world.
Dreamism recognizes the importance of our connection to nature, family, and community, and emphasizes eco-friendly practices, personal development, and the well-being of ourselves and those around us. By embracing these principles, Dreamists strive to create a more harmonious and balanced reality, while supporting one another on their individual and collective spiritual journeys.
“A single thought emanates and creates the whole of reality, both upper and lower, in its final state of the end of correction. That single thought performs all the operations; it is the essence of all operations, and it is the purpose and essence of the labor. It is by itself the very perfection and sought-after reward, as Nachmanides wrote, ‘one, unique, and unified’.”
– Yehuda Ashlag
The Divine Dream: We believe that reality is a dream or simulation created and maintained by a higher power, often referred to as G-d. Our souls are fragments of this divine being, and we possess a shared ability to create and influence the dream.
The Soul as a Source of Magic: Our souls are extensions of G-d, granting us access to divine power. Magic, in Dreamism, is the manifestation of intention directed by the soul, allowing us to influence our reality and spiritual growth through spells, rituals, and other practices.
The Journey of the Soul: Each soul is on a unique spiritual journey towards perfection and unity with the divine. All living beings possess souls at various stages of development, and the human experience offers the soul the opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve spiritual perfection through intentional living and spiritual practices.
The Balance between Good and Evil: We acknowledge the presence of both good (yetzer hatov) and evil (yetzer hara) within each individual and the world at large. Personal growth and spiritual development comes from finding a balance between these two aspects of G-d. Between order and chaos.
The Wisdom of Many Paths: We embrace the teachings and practices of various spiritual and religious traditions, incorporating their insights into a rich and diverse spiritual framework. This openness allows us to draw upon the wisdom of countless sources on our journey towards spiritual perfection.
Spiritual Practices and Tools: We utilize various spiritual practices and tools, such as meditation, prayer, hitbodedut, and the use of sacred herbs, to deepen our connection with the divine and amplify our intentions.
The Importance of Community: We value close-knit communities and genuine connections with others, rejecting the isolation and materialism that often pervade modern society. By fostering a sense of unity and mutual support, we work together to bring about positive change and healing.
We can access higher levels of reality through spiritual practices, such as meditation, prayer, and the use of certain substances like marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms (in moderation).
The Protection and Stewardship of Nature: We recognize the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of protecting and preserving the natural world. Stewardship of nature is a core tenet of Dreamism, reflecting the belief that all creatures have souls and deserve respect and care.
The Observance of Shabbat: We observe a weekly day of rest and spiritual reflection, known as Shabbat or the Sabbath. This day is dedicated to spiritual practices, rituals, prayer, and spending time with loved ones, allowing us to recharge and refocus on our spiritual journey.
Babylon and Zion: We recognize the existence of two opposing forces in our world – Babylon, which represents the suppression of individuality, esoteric knowledge, and spiritual growth, and Zion, which embodies the ideals of freedom, love, and the pursuit of higher truth. We strive to resist the influence of Babylon and work towards the establishment of Zion, a world where harmony, compassion, and spiritual wisdom prevail. A world of balance.

We’re All Connected
Our bodies function autonomously, operating like intricate machines without our conscious input. The notion of self is an illusion, as we are part of a larger collective consciousness shaping our reality. Our unique ability lies in our direct interaction with this reality, transcending the role of a thoughtless mechanism, such as bacteria. Instead, we possess the power to influence and change our surroundings while maintaining an awareness of our connection to the greater whole.
What’s Real?
As we exist within a dream, the nature of our reality can be fluid and unstable, allowing for cryptids and various possibilities to exist. Similar to the volatility of our thoughts, the overarching consciousness that shapes our world can also exhibit unpredictable behavior. After all, we are created in the image of the great thinker, and our abilities are limited by their powers.

They possess an innate connection to the world and the cycles of nature. As a smaller reflection of the grand design, they instinctively act, seamlessly integrating into the fabric of reality. Their actions contribute to the harmonious and synchronous unfolding of the larger program.
