Darkness and Light. The Power of Dreaming

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Some days it’s just hard to remain inspired and hopeful - when the disturbing sad and bad news takes over. The big things - like earthquakes - loom, but sometimes it’s an image of a dog purposely starved to death by a cruel person that pushes me into despair. Which happened yesterday. I struggled most of the day. I even abandoned a post - being positive felt pointless.

I went to bed in this state, expecting horrific images to occupy my sleep. But, the Universe is sometimes kind and, instead, I had the coolest dream…I do believe it was “sent” to me.

It was very specific and clear:

It began with a friend coming to my house to tell me a vision/message that she “received” from the Universe. She was told about the difficult future humans were going to face - and what we needed to do to survive it. I asked if it was going to be very hard and she replied that, “It was going to be very difficult at first but it would turn out well if we followed the instructions provided.”

In the next part of the dream, we organized a BIG conference and invited the entire world. Billions of people were showing up and they were all handed “worksheets” to tell them about their tasks. My friend and I were too shy to present at the conference, so we brought in a beautiful woman who had long curly black hair and sparkling blue eyes to share the message for us. The beautiful woman told me that it was good I wasn’t doing the presentation because no one would believe this if it came from a yoga teacher (that part cracked me up).

It’s afternoon now, and I’m still thinking about this dream. Unfortunately, the detailed “instructions” were not revealed in the dream, but at the same time, we already have a lot of the answers, don’t we? The next step really is to bring the world together and move ahead with purpose and without pause.

I will continue to worry enough about the bad news to do what I can to change things. But, I will also do my best to keep the hope alive. I guess it’s love it or leave it.
