“I dream a lot and write down my dreams, because it’s my
soul telling me something that I need to pay attention to.” ~Isabel Allende
I met the wonderful author, Isabel Allende at a celebration
for a service organization I was involved with. I told her how much I admired
her writing and she told me that she remembers her dreams nearly every morning
when she wakes, and that she and her daughter-in-law talk by phone over coffee
sharing their dreams and coming up with their meanings. I so love when people share
their dreams with me.
So many agree with Isabel that our dreams are messages
from our soul, spirit or higher-self; the part of us that is eternal. I
certainly have had profoundly deep and spiritual dreams. Our nightly dreams,
once interpreted, provide unbiased, authentic guidance, direction and
inspiration.
I also met author and spiritual teacher, Gary Zukav at a
conference he and his life partner were facilitating. In the Seat of the Soul, Gary shared his
insight that:
“When we align our
thoughts,
emotions, and actions
with the
highest part of
ourselves, we are
filled with
enthusiasm, purpose and meaning.
Life is rich and
full.
We have no thoughts
of bitterness.
We have no memory of
fear.
We are joyously and
intimately engaged with our world.
This is the evidence
of authentic power.”
I believe that our nightly dreams could easily be added to
Gary’s statement: “When we align our thoughts, emotions, actions” and our nightly
dreams, since our dreams do come from the highest part of ourselves.
Our nightly dreams strip away the layers of resistance and
the stories we tell ourselves to feel good about the ways we behave in our
waking lives. They speak the truth. As a result dreams connect us with our
purpose and with ways to get back on track when we are off our path.
If you’d like to know what your purpose is, begin by making a
list of what you feel passionate about, those strong attractions are good
clues. Then before going to sleep review your list with the energy of your
actual feelings. Next ask your dream to show you easily and clearly: what would be the most fulfilling path for my life? Be sure to write your dream(s) down as soon as you wake, even if
they don’t seem related to your question. If interpreting your dream doesn’t
point to a clear direction, repeat the process for a few nights by dreaming on
one item from your list at a time. Becoming a dream detective will solve the
dilemma.
Until next time I wish you Sweet Dreams!
