What Is Your Living Dream Showing You?

I’ve been noticing in some people who even though they have no interest in this whole inner work stuff, they will actually light up when speaking about a dream they’ve had.

It’s really cool to see that.

They wonder what the dream means. What it symbolizes. And sometimes they will even open up about their inner world when they normally wouldn’t.

The dream becomes an opening. A safe way to take a closer look.

Yet most of us don’t seem to look at our daily life that same way.

Probably because we are so close and get attached to it all. Probably because we have been conditioned to look at ourselves and our life as something to control and judge. This is bad. This is good. Fix the bad, get more good.

Sometimes life is painful and we don’t want to look at it or feel it.

Many, if not most of us, learned to trade some of the magical wonder for survival.

And maybe we learned that mystery is not to be tolerated.

So for some people, for just a little while, their dream becomes a time when they allow magic and mystery. Even if they deny it in their everyday reality, they will admit that there is magic in their dreams. There is an adventure there. There is a message to be uncovered.

And it’s perfectly tailored.

Just. for. them.

They will take a brief break from their insistence on cold hard facts.

They may temporarily forget their whole “if it can’t be proven then it doesn’t exist” attitude.

They relax their version of static reality and absolute truth and culturally shaped views.

A little more open to exploring, less rushing to be right.

Slightly less afraid of the airy fairy stuff.

Their guard comes down just a bit and they sparkle for just a little while.

This sense of magic and mystery is our lives. We have just forgotten that life is made of magic. We have forgotten that we are made of magic.

Even though on the surface the stuff happening in our life may seem like isolated and unrelated occurrences. Even though they may not seem all that meaningful. They are. They are part of a big picture.

It’s all connected. It’s all meaningful.

Just like in dreams. Nothing is ever really a mistake or an accident.

Our challenges and difficulties are meant to take us on an adventure. Joy, pain, ups and downs, trueness and falseness, they are part of the adventure of being alive.

Where even the nightmare can have an enchantment about it.

Deep down we all know this. Under the veil created from our beliefs, attachments, and wounds.

Under the veil imposed on us from a society rooted in forgetfulness.

Life is on our side. Always sending us messages and trying to help us.
To Evolve.
Awaken.
Remember.

So then is your so-called waking reality that different from the dreams you have when sleeping?

Look UNDER the surface and see!
