I’m often told that when I dream, I dream HUGE! That’s in both sleep-mode, as well as creative thought. For what it’s worth, I’m referring to nighttime dreams in the following.
As a child I discovered that dreams while asleep often became a reality. It sounds odd and still is to me to this day. At the age of seven, I remember waking to tell my parents that a big mountain was going to explode. I didn’t even know what that meant and had no understanding of volcanic eruption at such a young age. I remember that beautiful blue-sky day in May 1980, Mt. St. Helens blew her top and side out and being asked how I knew as I spoke of it in multiple weeks prior? Crazy, eh?
Fast forward through the years, and I’ve seen various natural disasters in my dreams, speak of them, and sure as all get out…. they’ve happened. Other dreams have included messages of caution, visits from family members that have since passed, and flashback experiences as young as one year old. Sound odd? It is.
My favorite dreams are one’s that I wake from deep sleep with belly aches from laughing. I recall them in such vivid detail! Others that resonate are the creative one’s my brain won’t shake unless I execute on them. I learned to quilt 30 years ago because of it. Self-taught, too! I still do it and have created master pieces of love and warmth – each telling a unique story in the display of colors, textures, patterns, etc. The creative dreams are fun as they’ve brought financial reward!
Tonight, I lay in bed finding myself daydreaming, confused and pondering the day’s events. I had an indicator in my sleep last night that something was coming. That usually means it’s not if, but when… but really, the next day?
What I do know is that tomorrow the sun will rise! I might not see it with the gloom today brought, but it WILL be there tomorrow. Maybe it’s a metaphoric message to create it when it’s not obvious. Tomorrow, babies will be born! It’s new life and new beginnings. Tomorrow, flowers will bloom. There’s much beauty in flowers and their cycle of buds to blooms.
All things considered, I love dreaming and recognize that each day will start with a story based on the previous night’s message that I won’t always deciphered nor be excited for. When in doubt, rest it out…. and find peace with the new day.
If I could only pray to see those dang lotto numbers now!
