Born 1950, in the Redwood country
of Northern California, Cat West, aka "Cwest", has been sought
out by laymen and professionals alike for her skillful and gifted dream
interpretations.
People from all walks of life, from every echelon of society the world
over, have found her methods enlightening and helpful in their daily
lives, their professional environments, and even their spiritual awareness.
Taking the view that symbols in dreams and waking life mirror one another,
significant moments and events can add value to our lives as individuals
and collectively, as communities.
Her insights and skills have made the complex terrain of symbolism and
surrealism into a three-aspect view: Physical , for the here and now,
and things pertaining to our waking life as well as hidden messages of
health
or environment; Emotional , for the effect that events have in creating
a pattern of feelings and moods; and Spiritual for the overall view of
this life and its relevance to a greater existence.
"
Spiritual and religious are not the same. Dreams show us where
we are doing well and where we need to do more. We are able to become
more
aware of our own health, our behaviors, and how we reflect on those
around us."
Skillfully unraveling terrifying nightmares into their core elements
for those who have sought her advice on phobic, series, or repetitive
dreams,
teaching the dreamer about themselves in such a way that they can take
control over their fears in both dream time and waking life. The goal
being to create more independence and self-reliance in the dreamer.
"
Sometimes, what the person fears most is losing control, and the beast
that pursues them in their nightmares is a result of their own out-of-control
behaviors…. Behaviors that often generated from sources long-forgotten,
buried from the conscious mind, residing alive and well in the land
of dreams.
" Unraveling the intricate connections of the present and the past usually
alleviates the intensity and frequency of nightmare episodes, or
ends them altogether.
" Dreams are the only language we have in common all over the world. To
ignore the meanings is to cheat ourselves of a greater insight and understanding."
She follows the path of Native Spirituality, but her beliefs are far
wider in scope than any single cultural experience.
" The core of every true religion is based in love,
tolerance, understanding and healing and unity. We are all going to the
same center,
just different
spokes on the same wheel. That is what makes the wheel stronger." Q: Why "The Dream Hat"? A: Because I pursue man creative endeavors. I have been
told that I wear 'many hats'. So, when I am interpreting dreams,
I am wearing my
Dream hat! It's what we focus our mind on that we become,
even if just for that moment."
