These Dreams

I’ve written before about how I don’t dream. When I was a young child, I had night terrors. Horrible dreams about my mom. After that, I stopped dreaming.

In my entire life, I’ve had only a handful of dreams that I remember. Very few that I can recall now. And most of them seemed either meaningless or terrifying.

At a few points in my spiritual awakening process, I have had meaningful dreams, but never consistently. Recently that has changed.

In the past few weeks, I have begun dreaming again. More frequently and more consistently. Vivid dreams with story lines. When I wake from them, I remember them. Sometimes when I go back to sleep, I continue them.

I have come to understand the dreams are teaching me and guiding me. The storylines are related to my waking life, my current situation, and relationships. The dreams are messages from Spirit.

Through these dreams, I recognize my growth. I see myself making different choices. I see myself understanding who I have become. In these dreams I live another life. One that allows me to expand and grow.

Guidance.

Some of the dreams I’ve had recently are guiding me forward on my spiritual path. Visually, they look nothing like my current situation, but they are symbolic of it. The dreams then guide me by showing me new approaches and new ways to handle relationships and situations.

When I understand the guidance, I affirm it with my spirit team. If I sense that it is guidance, but don’t yet understand it, I tell my spirit team that too. I tell them I understand it is guidance, but I don’t yet understand the message. Then I wait for clarity.

Growth.

Then there are dreams that show me how much I’ve grown. In the dreams I make choices that reflect my new awareness and consciousness. They remind me that I have grown and handle situations differently now.

When I wake, I affirm my growth with my spirit team. I express my gratitude for my growth and give myself a moment to bask in the glow of growth and new wisdom.

Current Situation.

One of the first dreams I had a few weeks ago was about a prison. I was a prisoner in a rather dystopian prison system. It was dark and foreboding.

Prisoners were tracked digitally, restricted from having contact with other prisoners, restricted from food, restricted from movement. I felt judged and restricted from being my true self.

In the dream I saw that some prisoners had removed their tracking devices. They met and had relationships. I learned to remove my tracking device and learned to move more freely throughout the prison. I found where the food was hidden.

When I woke up, I realized that it reflected how I felt about my current life situation. It encouraged me to find a way to move more freely in my current living situation. It encouraged me to be more myself in challenging situations.

A Path.

I don’t know why I started dreaming now, and it doesn't matter. As the weeks have progressed, so have my dreams. They have changed, the people and situations have changed, but they always showed me something new.

These dreams are guidance, messages of encouragement. These dreams reflect my growth. These dreams show me how I feel about my current situation. These dreams are showing me how to move forward.

These dreams remind me that my spiritual awakening, no matter what my current life circumstances are, continues to move forward. These dreams are part of my spiritual awakening process and show me how to move forward. I am grateful.
