Unlocking Your Childhood Dreams: A Path to Purpose

What if the dreams you had as a child weren’t just fantasies…but glimpses into your true path?

As children, we are deeply connected to our souls blueprint before conditioning takes over.The things we are drawn to, obsessed with, or dreamed about hold clues to what we are meant to do. When we look back at what fascinated us, what we naturally did without effort, we begin to trace the line of our destiny.

Neurologically, children operate mostly in theta brainwave states (0-7 years old) which are the same states accessed in deep meditation and hypnosis. This means children are in a highly receptive, intuitive, and imaginative state, deeply connected to pure inspiration and innate knowing. Their minds are like sponges, absorbing information and experiences without the filters that often develop as we age. As we grow older, societal expectations, and self-doubt often make us dismiss these childhood dreams as “impractical,” but those early fascinations weren’t random. They served as glimpses into what could be possible, an untainted vision of creativity and potential that many adults, burdened by responsibilities and skepticism, struggle to reclaim. Encouraging children to nurture these imaginative pursuits can lead to innovative thinkers and problem solvers of the future, highlighting the importance of preserving that magical connection to their innate curiosity and desires. By understanding and valuing this unique way of thinking, we can bridge the gap between childhood wonder and adult pragmatism, fostering environments that celebrate creativity and exploration rather than stifling them.

Think back to your childhood—what lit you up? What did you pretend to be? What did you spend hours doing? Those weren’t just games; they were signs! If you pretended to be a teacher, leader, or storyteller, those gifts are still inside you! If you loved being in nature, working with animals, or talking to spirits, that connection is still calling you back.

As a child, I spent time outside, mixing grass and dirt and pretending I was creating potions in my cauldron. I danced freely and often and sang whenever I felt called. This wasn’t just my imagination getting away with me; it was a remembering! My younger self already knew who she was, and so did you. There is now such a clear line connecting what fascinated me as a child to my purpose here on Earth. The more I connected with that young witch, the more I remembered the oneness inherent in all things.

Your childhood dreams weren’t random. They were the whispers of your soul, reminding you of who you truly are and the passions that lit up your spirit before the world introduced its limitations. It’s never too late to follow them, regardless of how far away you may feel from that innocent sense of wonder. If you feel disconnected from that part of yourself, start small and be gentle with your journey back. Ask your younger self what they loved, what made them feel alive and free, and allow those memories to surface. Let yourself daydream again, free from the constraints of adult responsibilities. Create, play, explore—without judgment or fear of failure. Engage with hobbies that once brought you joy, read stories that spark your imagination, or even try new creative outlets that you’ve been hesitant to explore. The more you honor your inner child, the more clearly you’ll hear their voice guiding you back home to yourself, illuminating the path to fulfillment and joy that you’ve long overlooked. Embrace this journey of rediscovery, for it holds the key to a vibrant and authentic life.
