Are you an
Active Dreamer or a Daydreamer?
Self-assessment Tool
By Maria Mar©
The first thing that happens when you begin to dream; I mean Dream, with capital D ~to manifest a vision, desire or goal in your life~ is doubt.
The doubt comes from the fact that you are walking into the unknown. It can also come from well-intentions (or not so well-intentioned) people who are “practical” and do not believe in dreams.
But the doubt can also be a flag showing you the wounds you need to heal, the skills you need to develop and the places where you need support.
How do you know if your dream is “Real”, doable and authentic? Or are you really a daydreamer that dwells in fantasy, as some people are quick to point out?
This self-assessment tool will help you ascertain if you are an Active Dreamer ~what I call a DreamCrafter; or a daydreamer. In each outcome, it will give you a 3-step action plan to improve your chances of becoming your dream and offer you resources in my Dream Store for your manifestation.
“Fantasies are more than substitutes for
unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts
performed in the world begin in the imagination.”

You are a dreamer desperately trying to be an Active Dreamer, but sliding into wishful thinking or old behavior for lack of discipline, commitment and resources. I’d say that you are an Aspiring DreamCrafter who needs to seek help assessing her dream, developing a strategy and implementing it.
You may also need to develop a new lifestyle. You may be taking actions towards your dream, but they are inconsistent. To shift your life, you need consistent action that is built on a plan and moves you steadily to your dream. This means two things: 100% commitment and Dream Discipline.
Commitment needs faith and self-love. Dream Discipline comes from a new mindset and a new set of habits and from healing your relationship with time. Hidden beliefs about freedom may also be causing resistance. If you are doing everything alone, you may also need new skills.
Course of Action:
Step 1: If you are not a member of the MagicMark your Life Tribe, join my tribe for inspiration, empowerment and support.
Step 2: Get a hold of my home study course, Go from Blocked to Brilliant. It includes an inspiring novella that you will love.

You are a dreamer who is using fantasy to escape a life that you don’t like. There is nothing wrong with fantasy. It is the source of human innovation. But you need help in translating your imagination into action. You also need immediate guidance in tracking down the Inner Enemies of your Success(tm). If you are feeling like Penelope, who wove a beautiful fresco during the day, only to destroy it at night, you may be sabotaging yourself. The source of your self-sabotage is hidden in the folds of your Psyche. You need in-depth help to get it out into your conscious awareness, so that you stop being your own worse enemy.
Course of Action:
Step 1: If you are not a member of the MagicMark your Life Tribe, join my tribe for inspiration, empowerment and support.
Step 2: Why not use your imagination to move steadily towards your dream by joining the Dream Express Membership to become the protagonist of your own dream attraction quest and ride with me to your dream… express!
Step 3: Use your fertile imagination and your love for fantasy to discover the “curses” or wounds you carry that steal your dream and transform them into the “cures” or powers that allow you to rewrite your fantasy for very real success. I’ve created just the tool for you in the ebook “Rewrite your Fairy Tales for Success. Unleash your Greatness.“ Read more and get it here: http://dreamalchemist.com/ebook-fairytalesforsuccess.htm

You are definitely a daydreamer. I would say that you are a Fringe Daydreamer, because you are in the fringes between idle, destructive and escaping daydreaming and the envisioning and creation of your dreamlife.
You are a creative, passionate woman who values freedom and has her own mind. But hidden in your psyche lurk old emotions gathered around toxic, negative thoughts that are eroding your self-value. You may also feel that you are alone, and therefore you do not ask for help. Finally, you resistance may be blocking the flow of the Law of Attraction!
In a way, you fear what you want. You may secretly feel that you do not deserve it, even though you keep trying to convince yourself of the contrary. No amount of talking and thinking will help, because the logical mind is sabotaging you, and you cannot bring your executive power to sustain your imagination.
You will need to open a space and time for yourself and your dream if you want to get out of that rut. If you don’t want to waste any more time and you are not willing to give up on your dream, here’s the plan of action for you.
Course of Action:
Step 1: If you are not a member of the MagicMark your Life Tribe, join my tribe for inspiration, empowerment and support.
Step 2: The first thing you need is soul-singing clarity about your purpose and the value of your Essence. But the best medium for you is audio meditation, so that it works immediately in your energy and subconscious, because that’s where you’re holding back. I recommend the Success Seed Shamanic Audio Journeys. Get these three shamanic journeys here: http://dreamalchemist.com/audio-success-seed-journeys.htm
Step 3: You need to explore hidden beliefs that may be interfering with your happiness, goals and dreams. Here’s a powerful, but affordable ebook that will help you do exactly that. Do you Deserve Success? The Answer is Yes! is available at my site as a PDF-formatted ebook or in Amazon’s Kindle Store as a kindle book. (You’ll find the links for the USA, UK and Germany Kindle stores here. This book includes journal writing and arts & crafts projects to help you build your “I deserve this” muscles.

You are an idle daydreamer. You are weakening your capacity to manifest your dreams by using your imagination idly. After a while, your psyche does not believe you, and you waste your life in meaningless fantasies. But do not confuse what you are doing wrong with the legitimacy of your power as a dreamer. In short, the Active dreamer in you is trying to wake you up.
You are intuitively resisting the domestication of your imagination and defending your freedom and uniqueness. That means that inside you there is an Active Dreamer trying to get out and lead your way.
The problem is that you are being held back by:
-
learned beliefs that may be working in your subconscious, like feeling that success will make people dislike you or that having money will corrupt you.
-
Stagnated habits that keep you in a rut.
-
Disbelief and fear to dream, or
-
Embedded feelings carried over from childhood or trauma.
-
Shallow fantasies of being rich or famous that are a cover-up for your feelings of hunger, insufficiency or discontent (but may contain flashes into your future potential).
You seriously need to re-evaluate your beliefs and lifestyle and to release what’s keeping you from taking action.
Fantasy without strategy or action is an escape and a sign of despair. You need to build your faith and trust that your dreams can become a reality.
You may also need to develop new habits of mind and to learn new skills that allow you to create a structure and strategy to manifest your dreams.
