Dreams

Dreams....they can certainly tell a lot about what is going on in our little brains.  Thousands of years ago, people made a pretty good living interpreting dreams.  I'm not sure I believe all the tales told in "dream books" and how they are interpreted nowadays, but I do like reading about them.  I'd sure love to have Joseph around in the mornings though!

The NIV has this,
'As a dream comes when there are many cares..'

My favorite dreams are when I am flying high above the abnormalities of the real world.  When I was a teenager I barely hovered an inch above the ground, scared that I would lose focus and fall.  Ooooh!  A whole inch...I may have hurt myself!!  As I got older, I practised flying in my dreams, each time getting higher and higher.  The first time I flew above trees was probably the BEST dream ever!  I remember that time in my life...  I was making huge changes, starting out on my own (with my kids) and looking forward to a brand new future.  It was then my flying dreams became more vivid and I began flying higher and higher.  Now...I can fly pretty much whenever I want, where ever I want and as high as I want!

My most disappointing dreams is when I find money.  As I'm walking down the sidewalk, grass or path I will stumble across piles of coins.  Loonies, toonies, quarters etc.  I pick them up by the handfuls and stuff my pockets.  Of course, I go for the loonies and toonies first!  Oh the sad feeling when I wake up.....still poor!

Next to flying, breathing underwater is my next favorite!!  I rarely dream these dreams, but when I do I actually am aware that it is a dream and I make the most of it.  Not only can I breathe underwater, but I can swim like a dolphin and jump high out of the water and do flips like Willy!  haha.  What freedom!!

The most terrifying dreams that I have ever had were about tornados.  These dreams came into my sleeping world when my life was full of pain, suffering and fear.  I began a dream log, and documented my REM, writing every single detail.  They were really quite horrible.  The storms were not just in the distance, but all around me, surrounding me.    I won't go into detail as the memories of these dreams still make me shiver.  I will proclaim, however, that I have not had one of these terrible nightmares in over 6 years.  I have not had one since I've been free of fear!

 
Where ever your lullabyes take you, let it be in a dream of love and adventure!
