A method you test—not a belief you adopt.
It is a disciplined way of speaking with internal and dream
perspectives rather than explaining, interpreting, or correcting them.
The purpose is relational learning:
Does interviewing measurably improve respect, reciprocity,
trustworthiness, and empathy in your life?
Step 1 — Choose Something to Interview
- A dream character or dream element
- A recurring life issue or interpersonal drama
- A physical sensation or symptom
- A transpersonal event like a visitation, mystical experience, or synchronicity
Interview an element that is relatively objective and that you are curious about.
Step 2 — Interview Without Interpretation
Speak as the perspective you are interviewing.
Answer briefly, literally, and from direct experience.
- “(Character), where are you and what are you doing?”
- “(Character), what do you like most about yourself? What are your strengths?”
- “(Character), what do you dislike about yourself? What are your weaknesses?”
- “(Character), how are you most like your human?”
- “(Character), if you could change in any way, would you? If so, how?”
- “(Character), how do you score yourself 0–10 in confidence? Why?”
- “(Character), how do you score yourself 0–10 in compassion? Why?”
- “(Character), how do you score yourself 0–10 in wisdom? Why?”
- “(Character), how do you score yourself 0–10 in acceptance? Why?”
- “(Character), how do you score yourself 0–10 in inner peace? Why?”
- “(Character), how do you score yourself 0–10 in witnessing? Why?”
- “(Character), if you were in charge of my life, would you live it differently? If so, how?”
- “(Character), if you were in charge of my life, how would you deal with each of my three life issues?”
- “(Character), why do you think I had this (dream/life issue/transpersonal experience)?”
- “(Character), are there times in my daily life when you would recommend I become you and think, feel, and act as you do? If so, when?”
(Reminder: These questions are directed to the character, not the dreamer.)
Do not analyze, symbolize, or explain the response. Treat it as an autonomous point of view.
Step 3 — Extract One Testable Recommendation
Ask the interviewed perspective:
“What should I do—specifically—and when?”
Good recommendations are:
- Concrete
- Situational
- Testable within days
Example: “Become me when you feel frustrated during conversations.”
Step 4 — Apply and Observe
Apply the recommendation in real life.
Do not force success. Simply observe effects.
The core question is not:
“Did this work?”
But:
“What changed relationally—if anything?”
Step 5 — Review Relational Outcomes
Use the Relational Exchange Check-In to assess outcomes.
If no improvement occurs, that is data—not failure.
Adjust, re-interview, or test a different recommendation.
