Dreaming & Creativity

Trevor Herriot, Writer
So many adults, I think, don't even have dreams anymore at night, you know, we've gotten to some place, where if we do have dreams we don't even take them seriously. The world of dreams,  and visions and imagery have always been a part of our genetic coding and a part of who we are as creatures.

Wes Fine Day, Elder Sweetgrass First Nation
Dreaming is important, you know, because at the, when your dreaming, at that level when your connecting, with yourself at that level, that, those are the times that the most powerful realizations, the most powerful perceptions, understanding can come to you.

Glenn Sutter, Scientist
Because I've allowed myself just to be still and allowed the landscape, the power of the landscape in. I suppose I don't know enough about traditional cultures to say this, but it struck me almost as a dream quest, the notion of a dream quest, where young people are sent out and given the time they need to do that, to let all of the questions settle, to be quiet in your mind and than amazing things become apparent.

Judy Bear, Elder Sweetgrass First Nation
We are just small people, in regards to the land, we are basically just, just like what my grandfather used to say, we have to be humble.

Sharon Butala, Writer
And if your patient and humble enough and wait, the world view that will come to you will be the ones, I think to a certain degree, that First Nations had learned over thousands of years here, and when that happens then your whole idea of how to live changes.
