Dream Messages
Dreams are always a topic that comes up often, especially in my home. My work as well, I’m asked to interpret a dream someone has had and what it could possibly mean. Often I can get the energy of what the dream was saying but sometimes the message is meant to be understood by us and us alone. How do we do that? That is the big question. I always say that the best way to do so is to just trust what you know it was telling you. Far too often we will wake up, brush off the feeling of the dream, and start to attempt to analyze it with some weird human brain stipulations.
Last night I had a dream and it was a weird one, let me tell you. One it had Tom Cruise in it, I am NOT a fan so that was weird enough! When I woke up, I knew the message, I knew what it meant to me and I knew I was supposed to share it with someone. I found myself losing sight of the meaning as I tried to explain the dream itself to my husband, and then the one I was meant to share it with. As I tried to explain the dream it wasn’t translating correctly or at least the way I thought it should. That is when it hit me, the message wasn’t wrapped into the actual dream, the ins and outs of it, the message was in me. How I got it, or how much sense the actual dream made really meant nothing. There was something incredibly freeing about that revelation.
Like so many other times, we ignore what we know to be true, our deep intuition, for the excuses, explanations, or “sense” our human brain wants to throw out at as. When I quit explaining the actual dream and just put the message out there it all made sense again. I felt at peace with the dream. I will never be able to explain why Tom Cruise was the villain that tried to control my dream, I mean who can explain that? Outside of the fact that Tom Cruise freaks me out, I got nothing.
This dream held two lessons for me today. Of course the original message of the dream, and the lesson and acceptance that the feeling, the knowing, that the dream leaves us is the actual message. Not the package in which it comes. We will get so caught up in what we were wearing in the dream, or what the sky looked like, who spoke to us, what we ate, and so on, that we lose ourselves completely by “trying” to find our meaning. We tend to do this in all aspects of our intuitive life don’t we? When the lesson, answer, message, isn’t what we want to hear we will try to change it. We try to change it by trying to explain it or over analyze it. Sometimes the message is just that. Sometimes it’s not meant to be remembered, it’s stored away for another day. Like a little dream Rolodex. When you find yourself in a dilemma and look inward for peace the little Rolodex pulls the right card and your on your way. Of course sometimes a dreams message is not to eat pizza and watch horror movies before bed. Either way, a lesson is a lesson, right?
I would like to share this message with you, the one my dream was about, if it resonates- great! If not, that’s ok too. I figured if it’s important enough to inspire this blog, it’s important enough to share with you.
I found myself in a situation of silence. No one could speak. Including Tom Cruise(I know, weird!), everyone wanted to, needed to, yet somehow the idea(again all fucking Tom’s fault!) was that we hadn’t earned it. Finally after this movie premiere Tom could speak, and speak he did. He had finally earned it. His work was finally enough to the critics to earn him his voice. Well as a sat I knew my work was enough too. Don’t ask me what I was doing there, I don’t know, I just know I rocked it. Maybe my work wasn’t viewed as important, maybe I hadn’t been doing it as long as others, maybe I wasn’t perfect at it, but it was mine. Somehow I just knew that where I was, was exactly where I was meant to be. What I had accomplished was huge and the result of immense passion and dedication. So I stood up. I spoke up. I owned it. Tom Cruise was pissed, but that’s ok, I’m sure he’ll recover. Next thing I knew others stood. From the seemingly smallest role to the absolute largest, they stood. It was no longer about the part they played for others but the part they played for themselves. In that moment we took what was perceived and made it be what we knew. We didn’t have to wait for Tom Cruise to give his approval. There was no academy to give us buzz, it was just us. Just me. You know what? Just me was enough.
So no matter what your doing, where you’re starting, or how big or further the ones next to you are, it doesn’t matter! Eyes forward, stay in your lane, and own it. This isn’t a race, the destination is the same for every single one of us. No deviations, no back up plans, the same exact destination. So let go of the end goal and enjoy the journey. If your work makes you proud, makes you happy, feeds your soul, then stand up and own it. You are exactly where you are meant to be, you are exactly who you’re meant to be, and your voice matters.
