The last dream I had this morning was about the family going boating and our youngest granddaughter, who is 2 in the dream, but she's 3 in real life; jumps off the pier and in the black waters. Immediately I find myself jumping in after her. The water is so black I can't see anything, but I can hear her. I know she is right beside me and I wrap my arms around her and begin to ascend to the top.
In the dream I can only hear what's going on around me, I can't see a thing. The sounds that she's making makes my mind begin to wonder if she is drawning, if it's too late. Then that's when I wake up.
After coming into work this morning I realized what an important dream this was and how it was so reflective of what's going on in my life right now. We all get the calls where we feel that our children are taking from us and how horrible of them that they don't have their lives together. But really, no one takes anything from us. We do that to ourselves. WE ROB our inner child. How do we do this? Well, it's simply like the blog post prior to this one stated, we knock ourselves out of our joy.
If you know someone is unhappy, it's never going to be up to you to make them that way. The only thing parents have told me over and over again is, "When are they going to do for themselves?" Well move the hell out of the way and allow them to do it. If people don't like the work they do and everyone is feeling obligated it's time to shut it down and ask, "What would you like to do?"
That's the best thing that we can do for anyone is to ask them, "Well what would you like to do about that, or what do you see happening with this, what would you like to have done?" These are important questions because it puts it back on to the other person. Let's just solve our own problems and everyone will be able to follow along. I've seen it within my own family.
But what does that have to do with the baby jumping into the water? Well, it's not until we go deep within the depths of our own abyss and grab hold of our inner child that we play and are free to experience life. That child in the dream just jumped in with complete trust and faith. How many of us are able to do that these days? We're always wondering what if, or can I do it, or what will come of this? When we are that child with God He has us in His loving arms carrying us to the top.
The darkness is symbolic for what our illusions have done and continue to do as long as we belief in the lies. The dark hour of the soul is where we find complete peace. It was not until I created more about the story within my own mind when I woke up that brought pain and suffering into my reality. And when I speak of pain and suffering I'm speaking of sadness for what could've happened. It's just a dream! Even this is just a dream. How do I know? Because God is still carrying me through the dark waters.
Awareness opens the possibility for Alignment and the Willingness to Release. Free yourself of illusions within YOUR reality. What are you creating that makes you feel disempowered?
