Dreaming Into Knowing

The image of taking a vacation can imply the same thing in a dream that it does in real life: it’s an opportunity to let go of all the things that are pulling us this way and that way. So, in this dream, the desire to let go amplifies the problem being faced, in that there is a stalker, or the potential for someone to be assaulted, so the dreamer must become a detective to sort this all out. Of…

We can view the image of going back and forth from different levels. We could see it as the concept of reincarnation. We could apply it to the idea that we connect with higher energies and bring them through into life, into the physical. But a key element of this type of journeying is the repetition of it, and we know that when we do things repetitively we learn more and more each time. We hone…

Who will save us? We will; each individual saving themselves, at first. Which is good news because it means we don’t have to wait any longer for everything to change. We can begin now. The human design and the planet we are born on are everything we need to succeed. All we lack is the passion, the desire, and the trust that it can be done, and that we can do it. The journey requires such passion,…

The Steps of Life

For a person who finds themselves on a spiritual journey, there is often a moment when, in looking back at their life, events that didn’t seem to make any sense suddenly could be viewed as being a stepping stone on a bigger path. And events in a life, as well as the dream images, are constantly trying to nudge a person, first toward the purpose of life, and then toward their purpose within that.…

When we let go of something, an old habit, an old opinion, an old defense mechanism, we make room for something new. It’s a law of physics that nature will always fill a vacuum, and that is a fact of energy that we can use to our advantage. When we clean and clear, something new is possible for that space. When we let go of relationships, we are open to meeting people who are right for us in the…

In these two dreams, Jeane is discovering hidden aspects of her self that are a help to her on her journey. Our spiritual journeys are just like the many great stories and fables: sometimes magical things happen, sometimes it seems there are insurmountable odds. But just as in the stories, what we need is available to us, it’s inside us now if we have the need to make the discovery. (At the end…

The world is littered with terrible stories of what people were willing to undergo, or worse, to impose upon others, because they were so convinced of the rightness of their position. The mechanism of deep commitment is a good one, and natural to us, it’s just that it mostly get used in the wrong way. What such passion should be used for is to defend ourselves from anything that tries to derail…

A More Real Place

Why would the universe give humans freedom of choice? Because freedom of choice allows for things to happen that are beyond the robotic repetitions that follow a predetermined plan. But it’s an incredibly risky thing to do, because, as we can see, choice can be used for good things as well as terrible things. So how does the universe protect itself from such a risk? It disconnects its energetic…

We may not think of ourselves as powerful, but we all are. And we are at our most powerful when we gather ourselves into an inner agreement about our purpose and direction in life. And, if that purpose and direction coincides with the purpose and direction of the universe itself, then the power can be almost infinite. Conversely, all the things that distract us, or consume us, in personal…

The pure scale of the the universe, and its 15 billion years of unfolding, makes it seem pretty unlikely that our lifetime here could really be of importance to the greater scheme of things. But the universe is a single organism itself, and so nothing in its “body” is unimportant. And the human is instrumental in the evolution and liberation of the higher aspects of this “body.” In fact, the…

In relationships, sometimes we outgrow people we once were close with. In the dream world, the story of a relationship reaching an ending makes a perfect metaphor for the idea of letting go of something that has been a part of our life, but that no longer serves the current situation. This is about inner growth, and, even though it is a great accomplishment to grow, it often has some twinges of…

According to some, we wouldn’t dream at all if we were fully functioning, realized, human beings. If we consider that idea, we can see that dreams are always showing us how we interact with ourselves, and within ourselves. If we had no psychologies or fears, and we didn’t project our personal view on the world around us, the sorting that dreams allow wouldn’t be necessary. Said another way, we…

Kevin Dooley When we want to gather our thoughts, or gain some perspective, we usually take a break from the normal and find a place of quiet and/or solitude. And with good reason: it is difficult to sort everything out when we are in the whirlwind of events. But we have that instinct to go and find a quiet place precisely because that’s when our higher connections and guidance can reach us: they…

It seems to be coming up more and more these days, this territory of being able to hold something on an inner level no matter what is happening around us. This ability is important because it allows us to be balanced when things around us are in upheaval. That helps us, and it helps those around us. And it is something that we have to constantly choose to uphold, rather than just being swept…

It is often pointed out that great ideas that are never acted upon are lost to the world. Why? Because they remain energetic potential and are not made real. The same is true for higher energies that we can’t ground into the physical realms. How do we do that? Think of it this way: when we connect to something higher, we can experience it and let it slip away, or we can take it into us and make…

If Everyone Jumped…

Off a bridge, would you too? It’s an age-old conundrum, but this dream points out that concept on an inner level. Since we are all the characters in our dreams, the roles played by others in our images become very interesting. Are they with us? Ignoring us? Working against us? It is so important to remember all the lives we have inside us, because one aspect within us may be absolutely sure we…

What is a spiritual journey? Before one makes it, it can seem that it’s just living life with a deeper consciousness – which is true. But it also entails continual change and letting go, so that all the aspects of a life that are not in alignment with the universal purpose are set aside. This is how a life connects to the whole, and also how it gains the intelligence to proceed because the…
