I, like many, have vivid dreams, and my dreams send me lots of messages about how to live life. As many know, we work on life's issues as we sleep. The many random and unfinished thoughts of the day keep on working to find connection and make meaning at night. For example, yesterday I noticed a number of facts related to an issue of concern. I didn't think too much about those facts, but I did register visceral reactions to each one. Then last night, all those facts and observations, became a story that held really good meaning for me.
Essentially, in the dream, I got upset and reacted in all the wrong ways to the observations I made and facts I learned. It was a bad dream, but when I woke up, I knew exactly what not to do, and I also understood that those facts and observations I buried were greatly worrisome to me, and should not be buried, but positively dealt with instead.
A long time ago, I had a frightening dream about a real threat. I took that seriously too and made some changes to daily living to avoid that threat.
Dreams are powerful, and they remain somewhat mysterious too.
I'll be reading more about this in the days to come.
