LESSON 2 - WARDROBE FANTASY
Wardrobe Fantasy - (Pause when suggested to do so.)
See yourself in the center of a very large, empty
room. It's a pleasant, sunny room, filled with light.
(5 seconds.) There is nothing in this room except a
large wardrobe closet. (5 seconds.)
See yourself walking over to the closet. (5
seconds.) Reach for the handle. Slowly, you open the
doors. (5 seconds.) Inside you seea rack full of
closed garment bags. (5 seconds.) Reach in & take one
of the hanging bags out. (5 seconds.) Open it up. (5
seconds.)
Inside, you find a costume - a complete outfit of
clothing. (5 seconds.) As you slowly remove this
garment or costume from the bag, examine it carefully.
What is it? (10 seconds.) What does it look like? (10
seconds.) How does it feel in your hands? (10
seconds.)
Now put the outfit on. (5 seconds.) As you put it
on, you notice that it fits perfectly. How does it
feel, now that you have it on? (10 seconds.) There's a
mirror behind you. Look at yourself in the mirror. (5
seconds.) How do you look in this costume? (10
seconds.) Is your appearance changed in any way? (10
seconds.) How do you feel about yourself in this
attire? (10 seconds.) Does it bring out any particular
attitudes or emotions in you? (10 seconds.)
And now, as you stand there, one more question:
Where are you going, or what are you going to do, now
that you are wearing this outfit? Take a few moments
to think about this.
EXERCISE - Once you've allowed your fantasy to reach
its conclusion & given yourself some time for quiet
reflection on the experience, answer the following
questions.
1) What did your costume or garment look like? Feel
free to draw a sketch of it or to describe it with
words - whichever you prefer.
2) How did it feel in your hands as you removed it
from the garment bag? How did it feel once you had it
on?
3) How did you look when you were wearing this outfit?
Did your appearance differ in any way from the way you
look now? In answering these questions, consider not
just the clothing itself. Also make note of such
details as any jewlery you pictured yourself wearing
with it; any associated changes in your style of
personal appearance, such as how you wore your hair or
the length of your fingernails; & any changes in your
body structure when you had this costume on.
4) Did wearing this outfit bring out any feelings
about yourself? Did it evoke any particularly
noteworthy attitudes or emotions? Do you recognize any
of these as part of your current makeup?
5) Where were you going, or what were you doing or
about to do, in this attire?
6) Do you associate this costume with any particular
place, period of history, or group of people?
7) Did your experience leave you with any additional
thoughts or impressions that you'd like to make note
of?
Sincerely,
Laurasia
